So far I have seen Cyril, Tony W, Bill and of course lots of potential members.
I could really do with some show flyers to hand out.
-
Hi Zak,
Will try and get some Show Flyers over to you before weekend.
Bigkev
-
Super, smashing, great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Just to let you all know that I will be here again by popular demand.
See you Saturday 3oth November.
Cheers
Dave

Hi Zak,
Just like an old film star...................................Wheeled out for Guest appearances, and then allowed to lay down in the 'green room'
Hope to see you on the day..................................Do you do autographs??
Bigkev (Wallyeeee!)
-
X X X Especially for you Kevin.
-
Hi Dave, I will be along for my usual dose of abuse.
Regards Tony
-
OOO eeer
Don't like the sound of that dosing thing!!!
Bigkev
-
Surprise visit will be working on Friday afternoon - 12.30 till I'm told to shut.
-
If I get chance, I'll pop in to see you and be that 'awkward want to get rid of customer' Always up for a bit of abuse and banter, and perhaps purchase.
Bigkev
-
I will definitely be in for my usual quota of abuse and banter, and to let the moths out of my wallet!!
Regards Tony
-
Hi Bridlufc,
Question:-
How do fossilised Moths Fly?
Bring back bartering I say,
Bigkev
-
I shall be working in MR. CROPPERS EMPORIUM from Thursday 24th April - Saturday 3rd May inclusive.
Maybe I will see you there or maybe not.
Look forward to it.
Dave
-
Hi Dave,
Well, I hope I get chance to get in, in a strange way I'm looking forward to a dose of 'Ritual Abuse' whilst you are in charge. If your really good, I might even be persuaded to prise my wallet open?
Bigkev
-
I will try to call in and give you some 'cosh'.
-
Is that a posh word for money or are you going to do something else?
COSH?
-
Hi Andy,
A good coshing would be good, the abuse was mild, the availability of wanted kit when I went in was not there.
I think 'Could do better' on school report would be appropriate, but until then 'cosh away'
Nice to see you really Dave.
Bigkev
-
Nice to see you too Kevin.
-
Well, the one called "HADDOCK" came in today!
I didn't give or get too much cosh from him.
-
Hi Zak,
You mean that Haddock got away without any purchase........................tut, tut
Try the latest Trumpeter 1/700 ship as bait next time??
Bigkev
-
Well Col Tony called yesterday as did Bill.
I managed to sell them odds and ends.
Kevin called in and so did Joe.
The Haddock keeps swimming in as well.
Its all a bit fishy though.
Dave
-
Hi Zak,
Hope you've had some good ritual abuse to keep you smiling whilst in the shop.
At least the stalwarts have been in to see you, though I think Haddock must be attracted by the Cod liver Oil aftershave you have been wearing............................!
Bigkev
-
Even had Matthew and Tony as well!!!!!!
-
Have to ask cos I know it's imminent, when are you next on duty in Croppers.
Haddock.
-
Saturday 6th December and Monday 8th December.
-
Be prepared for some serious abuse!
-
I always am.
I Look forward to it.
Suffering from visitations at present, so modelling on hold!
-
Well on Saturday I was visited by the odd member or two.
In truth most of them were odd, some X members as well.
Tony Ward.
Joe and Cyril, Dave M and Tony B.

Stop Press

Bigkev
Will try to get in, if only to get some abuse.......!

-
I will try and get in on Monday - just for the insults !!!!!
-
Most of the members came in on Saturday.
It stopped me getting too bored.
Lots of abuse flowed.
-
That wasn't abuse.. that was affection! Wait 'till you get the abuse!!
-
It was a nice trip out in the snow anyway. A lovely change and a chance to catch up with one of my old school mates too. Came out with the new Airfix Gloster Gladiator which I already have plans for. Glad we made it a bit more bearable for you Zak.

Hi Zak,

Bigkev

Steady away today, no club members in, so I had to be polite to the public.
You can imagine, I struggled.
-
I don't think it'll be long before the abuse comes ( sorry members) come in.
Bigkev

Well members and ex-members today.
Cyril, Tony W, Neil.
Tony Ward was in as well, nice to see him.
I am still here, awaiting even more members - in my dreams.

Hi Zak -- should get in for an insult next week.

Look forward to seeing you Martin.
Only Cyril today.

Hi Zak,
Nice to see you today. Made it to work...............Just in time.
All that gassing and abusing, I forgot the time!

Bigkev

Should see you on Tuesday - keep the abuse warm.
-
Tony W, Tony B and Cyril today - all fully abusive.
-
That Cyril is having more than his fair share of giving abuse.
However, you need it...............
Bigkev
-
Lots of members and some dodgy IPMS types in today.
Neil, Francis + 2, and then Malcolm and Tony B, oh, Paul as well.
-
Steady Zak,
Dave. C will want to know your secret of getting such footfall.
I'm sure your abuse levels were of the 'high standard' that we have come to expect. I'm sure the IPMS contingent were suitably impressed.
I'll be in next week, don't run out of abuse before then.
Bigkev
-
Cyril, Tony W and Joe today - very quiet really.
-
Joe, and others on Saturday.
Kevin. Cyril, Malcolm and Tony ward today.
-
Martin and Cyril today.
Luxury, absolute luxury.
-
Hi Zak,
Do you mean that you were abused very kindly, or not abused at all, or gave much better abuse than they did?
However, did they put their hands into their pockets and buy something?
Next time they come in barricade the door and not let them out until duly parted with cash.
Bigkev
PS. Glad you had a 'luxurious day' though................
-

Pencil me in for sometime tomorrow
Bridlufc
-
Thank you Dr Smith for the (was it a one hour or a two hour session and how much do I owe you ) putting the work to rights - I feel a lot calmer now.
-
Enjoyed 'chewing the fat' with Mr Smith today, although he couldn't tempt me to part with any pennies, rather Mr Croppers sadly depleted stock couldn't tempt me to purchase anything. I dread to think what it will be like in 6 months time, shame really.
Bridlufc
-
The odd club members has been in to see me, yes, I do mean odd.
Malcolm, Tony B, Tony Wa, Martin, Cyril, Joe and Dave M. - they may be others, the memory is sagging as well as everything else.
Nice to see you all.
-
Thank you Dr Smith for the (was it a one hour or a two hour session and how much do I owe you ) putting the work to rights - I feel a lot calmer now.
Not the world then?
-
Yes, twas nice to pop in for an hour and chat about modelling and other stuff (club meetings are just too hectic now). Shame the shelves are so bare!
-
Thank you Dr Smith for the (was it a one hour or a two hour session and how much do I owe you ) putting the work to rights - I feel a lot calmer now.
Not the world then?
World/Work is there any difference - or was it a freudian slip ???????
-
I will be in Croppers on Saturday 9th September (10-4) and Monday 11th September (10-4).
-
Hi Zak,
Might make the last hour on Monday, so don't fall asleep!!
Bigkev
PS. I know its an age thing............

Hi Zak,
Sorry work ran over, so couldn't get in to abuse you, or wake you up.
I'll save it for your next stint............
Bigkev
-
I am standing in for Mr Cropper on Friday 30th and Saturday 31st March. (10-4).
I might see you there.
Cheers

See you on Friday

Bridlufc

So far, Matthew, Martin, Malcolm, Bob and Tony B have popped in for some good quality modelling advice - or is it abuse?
-
Today, Joe and Cyril and Tony Ward's other half, keep modelling Tony.
-
I'm doing my hair so won't be able to visit.
-
Hi Zak,
Sorry not able to get in to see(abuse you).
I'll just have to save my abuse for club meeting.
Hope those coming in have BROUGHT in nice things like Hot Chocolate, Bacon Butties, Cream Cakes, and the left having BOUGHT some kits, paints and accessories.
Cheers,
Bigkev
-
I'm doing my hair so won't be able to visit.
Hi Pen-Pusher,
Was that hair?
Last time I looked it would probably be a polish rather than a trim, ha,ha,ha.............
Cheers,
Bigkev
-
Bill called in this afternoon.
-
Back by popular demand - well, I'm in the shop on Saturday 8th September and Monday 10th.

A very wet, cold and unpleasant day today, only the very brave ventured into the shop.
So well done to Joe and Malcolm.
-
I am in Croppers on the following dates, 28 November - 1 December inclusive.
-
Hi Zak,
God and wallet permitting I hope to get in and visit (read abuse you) on your next watch.
Who knows, I might find a vintage model lurking amongst the stock?
Cheers,
Bigkev

Hi Zak,
Thanks for the update.
Might have to have a foray into Brid.
Cheers,
Bigkev
-
Thanks for thank Dave, still on shielding but with a mask I might have a trip there.
Bob c
-
I am sorry to have to tell you that Dave is closing down in the very near future.
-
Hi Zak,
Thanks for the update.
Shame he's closing, I suppose he is a victim of the online sites and could not compete anymore.
We should be grateful we had him and his dad for so long.
Bigkev
-
Yes it's a pity that another shop is going under. We were talking to Paul from P&S Models last week and he said that his York Landlord had taken the next quarters rent so he's open for now but doesn't know how much longer although stock takes are planned for the immediate future. The 'good' news is that when he decides to close he is going to sell his stock off at 'reasonable' prices to his regulars (and probably the general public if he wants to get rid of it). He too will be going online then, mainly for railways. He also said that the news coming out from the Nuremburg Toy Fair is that there will be an estimated 25-40% drop in on street model shops over the coming year.
