          I imagine the bloke has had to spend a significant amount of time fighting his way through a seemingly endless amount of beaurocratic bulltulip. I opened a cafe just over two years ago and even that was a nightmare of paperwork and regulation. I was (am actually) involved in the distribution of creel caught scottish langoustines and selling them to the public was a nightmare to the point where I now just punt them off via a processor instead. As Chef said, give the guy sonme credit for actually getting to market with it !

          Well done dude, and best of luck with it !

            Dont you get kits for a fiver in Wilkinson to do that ?
            There's a long answer for that - but the short answer is. Thanks, having spent several years doing a PhD in my feild of engineering, I find jobs are not available locally, the pay isn't that great, the environment in which I ork is quite stressful and I want to be near my family after years of working away.

            Now, you can buy a kit in wilkos if you like but the product will not be the same. I really think you have no appreciation for the work that has gone into this. I can assure it is no overnight thing.

            But thanks for the comments.

                Thanks FAQ - I already knew, and I can assure you it's on the list.

                Now try organising an online shopping cart and delivery of beer through a courier. There's some box ticking for you.

                    Can't help you with courier, but can you not just knock up a quick site using Wordpress and some free plugins which give a shopping cart, manage stock, calculate shipping, and pay via paypal, cheque or bank transfer? (There are more that you pay for which would allow other payment methods)

                    I wasn't intending to mock / jeer / piss on chips - all credit to you for doing it and the best of luck with it. Apologies if that's how it was construed.

                      No worries FAQ. We have a contractor doing the web dev and the site you see is something he had to knock up quickly. The new site will be up in Jan.
