Wow those are big machines to lose!

I'm not far away from you so I will keep my ears open for anyone selling one cheap

Fruit Pastiles were really crap for me! And the ones I got had about 9 weeks date on them so I threw most of them away

Hi guys, Just found this thread as I have been on holiday for the last couple of weeks. Just to stick my two-penneth in, I can see how Wendy has started out with a bad impression of the vending business, and the tubz vending franchise model in particular.
