A good way to fix broken things -free

Hi folks,

Here is a little tip (obvious) that has served me well. When buying anything new for example shower enclosure, towel ring for bathroom, pool or snooker table etc, always be sure to keep the name of the manufacturer that will appear on the packing. Sooner or later things go wrong and not much point going back to shop as it’s probably out of guarantee anyway. Usually the makers are quite happy to replace inexpensive things on an item free if you ring them up e.g. I got 6 replacement pool table pockets also corner thingy for a broken shower enclosure and small rubber thingies that had worn out on towel ring.

If you throw away the packing and have no address then it may cause you a lot of hassle trying to get it rightified
