    I don't think you will get anywhere with that.

    Isn't this a similar scenario to when the supermarkets were selling Levis 501's, which they had obtained on the grey market, at a discounted price and Levis took them to court and won.

      Not the same, the I think Levis were grey imports.

          Why does he have to sell MF anything if he doesn't want to?

            Because he had a business contract to supply.

            If he is then getting out of it by using a clause that wasn't originally mentioned then it's a breach of contract.

              I would definitely get the lawyers involved. And write to the Guardian. Their customer base will desert them when they find out that they are shafting innocent hippies to get in with big business.

              You are a hippy aren't you?
              While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                  Sounds more like an admin screw up.

                  When MF first approached the supplier they should have checked if they were supplying anyone else in the area - looks they forgot to as opposed to reneging on a contract.

                  Gooner - how is your new business going?
