      Clothing should be washed at 60°C.

      The safety measure most likely to cause revolt 😉

        if I didn’t know that there was a pandemic I certainly wouldn’t have known by my dealings with IH.

        Arthur, that is extremely gratifying to hear.  One of our goals going into this thing that we would never use Covid as an excuse for anything, and that we would try to carry on in a way that no one would know that our working practices had had to change.

        Frankly it is a testament to the staff that we have achieved that.  April was our busiest month for online sales ever and I don't think that our service suffered in any noticeable way…

          The fact that you have the degree of brand loyalty/appreciation is not an accident.  Excuses are just not in Iron Hearts wheelhouse!

            So part of the employee re-integration plan is that I work from home…..Something that I think most of them had hoped I would do years ago  😃 😃 😃

            So today, I started sorting stuff out.  Where better to spend my working hours that surrounded by my fishing tackle, so the fishing room, is now the study/fishing room (not necessarily in that order):

                @Giles Anything that we can do to make the transition back to the office easier for your staff?

                I have been known to keep Graham on chats for far longer than necessary to answer my question.

                  Wow Giles. That’s impressive! I have a collection but mine pales!

                  Maybe so. Maybe not

                      @Giles am I seeing some Yozuri brand stickbaits/crankbaits? My buddy swears by them, but Rapala is the king here so they are hard to find.

                        The main brands I use are Yo Zuri, IMA, Maria and Tackle House.  Funnily enough, all Japanese brands.

                          Unfortunately, due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, many people have lost their businesses. The quarantine has hit small and medium-sized enterprises. It's time to forget about competition and start exchanging experience-otherwise it will be difficult to survive. For those who have loans, it is necessary to contact banks to provide credit holidays urgently. But we decided to ask for help from [SPAM URL] , and they helped us. I think that you can always find a way out of a difficult situation if you want to!
