David - not really sure what has offended your sensibilities this time....

Mr Haywood - I decided to accept the refund as, having been told I am unable to be at the fair on the last day, you seemed totally unwilling to deliver the rifle to my RFD at the Game Fair despite me...

David - thanks for your perspective. I have very much appreciathed your help and questions in our PM's.

I am sure that once you receive the rifle, the wait seems inconsequential.

I've worked in...

This line from his most recent email to me really sums up Mr Haywood's attitude to his customers:
