    .....what they do is buy expensive used tools and reshape and sharpen them.
    I've heard that the owner hasn't fitted safety locks to the windows - consequently robbers have been in and stolen some of the machines and tools.
    Thing is - I've heard that some that work there are blaming the head machinist for the break in.

    Maybe some of these 'tools' haven't actually been stolen, but sold off for a sizable profit, in order to buy more tools and keep the factory running?

    I like a good analogy but this isn't a good analogy.

    I'd love to know what the factory is called because I can't think of anywhere in Barnsley that have a reputation for buying expensive used tools. I know of one particular relevant company who do exactly the opposite of this but some people are probably too thick to realise the difference between expensive used and cheap raw materials

    So if you don't work for the "factory" you can't have an opinion.

    Close this board.

    So what you are saying, is that if someone opens a thread on a forum , I am not allowed an opinion , just because you dont like my view

    You are as entitled to your opinion as everyone else but it's a bit **** when that opinion is 'unless you have the money to run the club yourself then stop moaning' which is what a few people have hinted at and some outright stated

    You're allowed it. I just thought it was total bunkum. Carry on as you see fit.

    I'd absolutley love to know how long it took him to think of it. Then again, there's probably always something stupid at the forefront of his mind.
