Well I dunno, it doesn't say anywhere that you'll get freebies.

Did you get your members discount all year? That'll be 25 euros you got back.

They don't work like that even on a face to face but you knew that anyways right
This is probably a topic for inside members area.

lot of businesses give a gesture of good will at xmas to their customers

I see them like I see any other online business. Once they give me prompt delivery, reasonable price, good selection and deal with mistakes in a timely manner I'm very happy(THBC score highly on all counts for me). I dont think any online retailer has ever given me a freebee. You cant expect the same form them as you would from a pub you frequent

try that in centra/burger king/next and see what happens.  you cant automatically expect any business to give out free stuff just because its christmas.

[Covey]

will do

Ordered good few packs of dried yeast last summer with mybeerandwine.ie but had to wait about 3 weeks. I wasn't badly stuck for it but was told I'll get something extra for waiting this long. I thought it will be extra sachet of yeast but 30'' ss mash paddle arrived instead

I'd say that's different Alex, it was a goodwill gesture to make good for a problem. But good on them none the less.

As a goodwill gesture I might ask Microsoft to take Windows8 off my laptop and stick it up their .... oh hang on, aye; that was a different thread.

We were talking about those paddles the other night, and how they're like giant heat sinks, sucking heat out of your mash, and how you'd need an extra degree or two to compensate for them!

Could make the same arguement for using a metal tap instead of a plastic one

[delzep]

Have you seen the size of those paddles!
