Re: Underhand Tactics

All that's needed to be said has been said on this thread and many others many times over, so I won't bother with a long speech listing all the wrongs from various firms/people (I have so many proven examples of lies/deception/inconsistencies it's laughable), however I will suggest that Jimmy you th...

Re: Punch Taverns

If their selling them off then that can only be good as a landlord that owns the pub is more likely to invest more in the pub than the chain and you have more of a chance of getting a machine in there. :thumbup: Landlords have no money.

Re: snack a can price match

Most of their product is the same, but there are some exceptions. I don't know who Sweetfix/Hurleys are using for their suppliers, but the Snack A Can Mini-Eggs are far better tasting (less crumbly chocolate) to tubz vending ones IMHO.

Re: snack a can price match

They paid their independent home-based site finders £3.50 per site and charged £20 (as confirmed by an ex-VR site finder). They keep talking about a £1/2m investment. In what?
