The problem with this is that you get what we see here. Rather than regular small rises, we get sporadic bigger rises.

Anyway... Welcome Clare.


Steve.

Welcome aboard Clare.

I have no idea what Harman think they are playing at. I was always happy to give them almost any amount of goodwill for the courage they took over the management buy-out but they are sorely trying my patience with these recent price hikes...

That aside, have fun! Bob.

Hi Clare

Good to talk with you this afternoon at the shop. You should try to get Roy to share some of his knowledge and experience with the FADU clan.

Interesting to learn about the Meopta factory and downsizing, good to hear that you continue to stock lots of spares for the Magnafax though as it's a fantastic enlarger. Where else could you walk in and get a replacement lamp holder off the shelf.
Long live RK Photographics is what I say (is the cheque in the post)

Hi Clare and welcome. I was going to crack the joke about you being near enough to a major retailer not to incur postage charges and then I saw what your job was :

As you will have gathered, there are several of us wondering about Ilford's pricing strategy and while we can't expect any explanation in person so to speak on a small site such as FADU, the Ilford contact on a much large site called APUG has made no attempt to explain things. Pity.

Does Ilford give any explanation to its major retailers such as RK and more importantly is it specific about "causes"?

Mike
