Good one, Chris.....but I was waiting for your call. Did you get that one from Mansor's and did you mention my name to him?

Hi JJ,

Sorry I didn't call. I really didn't want to impose on you.

Yes we did visit Mansors. I mentioned your name too but obviously to the wrong person. Both my wife and I felt their service was less than best.

We then visited the other AD (Partridges). What a difference! Just brilliant. (Thanks Christine!)

My wife also picked up something nice so we both walked away very happy.

All up we had a fabulous time in Auckland.

Kind regards

Yes, Christine, is the manager at Partridge and I've done quite a lot of business with her. She's wonderful and so is Caroline (the Asian lady)!!

Pity you got the wrong person at Mansor's. Very recently, 2careless bought a no-date Sub from them and was given Royal treatment.

I wish you had called me.....in fact, I was waiting for your call.

JJ

Nice one Chris! Congratulations!
It does seem the ADs over there are more customer friendly, and it does feel better on the wallet with 12.5% GST refund
