Hi CYF,

Good one, but don't quit your day job! (-:

You didn't ask how much$ before dismissing the idea

[AlanB]

Love the idea.

On the serious side I once had a customer threatren legal action if I did not replace a set of bead head nymphs I had tyed for him 4 years before as some where starting to come apart. Funny thing was that he had mixed them in with flies of his own.
I offered to fix up the flies, though I told him any guarantee was void if he got the flies wet! I also told him that I would fix any other flies that he sent me at a cost of ?100 per fly if they where not originally made by me.

Funnily enough he didn't pursue it any further. He didn't even send me any of my flys back.

Nowt as strange as folk!

Regards,

Alan.
