Dear Axminster...

[selectortone]

... I love your stuff - my workshop's full of it, including the crowning glory, one of your great big woodturning lathes. The racks above it are full of Axminster chucks, chisels, faceplates and all that other good stuff you turn out so beautifully. You must know I love you, I KEEP buying that stuff from you. But whenever I want some tool-porn and have a look at your website you email me straight afterwards with "Thanks for dropping by Terence, did you see anything that you liked?"

Now, the only person who ever called me Terence was my dear old departed Mum, and getting emails like that is a bit like the time when she caught me with that Playboy magazine (Miss November 1964... phwoarrrrrr...)

So, please stop it.

Thank you.

Your pal Tel, sweltering at 30C in Dorset.

I know you are being tongue in cheek but there is probably a field in your account settings which has your full name stored. Change it to Tel and all will be grand again.

Ps Miss 1964 is probably an old lady by now...

They could well have taken it from your credit card?
I always have to remember to register on trading sites as Robert so that my cards work when it comes to checkout.
I had to have a long discussion with Nationwide bank as they were rejecting cheques made out to Bob Minchin
Eventually they gave in and agreed that Robert and Bob were equivalent but refused point blank to accept B.Minchin

We started off with 2C, bird baths frozen and 18km/h wind which then takes us down to -C something. We should get to 17C.

I was a bit young still to get Playboy (it was also a banned publication).

Our cards just have initials, but on sites where required I just use my full name.
My wife only calls be by my full name.

I have yet to find an e-commerce site where their payment provider/mechanism does any checks on name or address on the card account. Some like PayPal don't even bother to use the 3 /4 digit security code

I'm going to start calling myself 'Big Boy' :lol:

Bragging? You do not have hot enough hot weather to get there!

The North is know as "Hot Air & Hot Pepper Country"

When we traveled far North, all the ablution facilities had these huge hot air blowers to warm it up so it stuck out far enough. :lol: :lol:
