Freebies

That's why on my pictorial brew you saw me sit it in HLT.
They are great mash paddles and also good for beating rugs!

Now that I think of it, they did give me some plastic tubing in THBC one time when I dropped in physically.

In fairness I'm happy to give them my money if it means they'll stay in business and be there next time I need them.

Jaysus bad form sticking that up there.... Im all for criticising when you receive bad service but that post is a joke.
You get the NHC discount from them as it is. Want them to brew it for ya too..

Jimmy, Covey is from the country, where they still open the doors for girls, give way to traffic from side roads and say hello if you meet someone on the road or wave if you are in cars even if you don't know them.
Covey, Jimmy is from the city where everybody is out to screw everyone else, don't bat an eyelid for stopping on a double yellow line or yellow box and don't know the name of your next door neighbour.

There is a middle ground but I'm not sure it ever includes gratuities from online retailers and 5% over the year is good enough for me.

I thought it will be extra sachet of yeast but 30'' ss mash paddle arrived instead 

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

I like it's size, makes perf decoration on the wall
And don't know about temp drop cos it's only working as a decoration 
I know sacrilege..

Try and see this from their perspective, and posting about this on the forum is not only poor form but it also proves the point.

You ask for free stuff because it's Christmas, if they DID give you something you would have been on the forum telling people to do the same thing. All of a sudden they get bombarded with people asking for free stuff because of a precedence.

Never ask for free stuff, then you can't be disappointed. 
And if you get free stuff anyway, be grateful!

[alealex]

Fair point Reuben,
I think we should be all grateful we still have discounts with brew shops after all the group buys on this forum.

[Ciderhead]

We haven't had one on Regs yet Alex

[alealex]

Thats different I don't make my living out of it.. I'm like Robin Hood 

[Covey]

Look forget about it. I'll vote with my feet/keyboard, their loss.

Look forget about it. I'll vote with my feet/keyboard, their loss.

Good idea.

[irish_goat]

I'll take 5% discount all year round over a Christmas freebie any day.

[St. Fursey]

In fairness THBC do give out the odd free bag of hops when they get something new in; usually advertised in this forum. I have benefited from this in the past.
