Not quite Matt, I do not want this in the very public domain! Its not crude, rude or illegal, not good press to ridicule your customers.

However, I think that you can view it by this link

Come on Neil, put us out of our misery .. Is there a cartridge in there or not ..

 

[Dalboy]

He obviously has never owned a fountain pen. Does he even know how to write

 

[Neil Lawton]

Your mad you lot!
Have you never heard of invisible ink!

 

[scouseroy]

he may be thick but he was polite !!! I had customer who called to complain her mobile phone wouldn't work, she swore at me when I explained that it wasn't the phone that was the problem...She was trying to make calls on a TV remote control!!!!

To be fair he sounds young and just scared to probe his lovely new pen for fear of damage
I would say and yes he may never have seen the inside of a pen.

 

[Dalboy]

Just out of interest how did you reply

 

[paulm]

So... to sum up, you sold a pen without any innards?????? Like buying a car without and engine, a computer without a hard drive. a spaceship without an astronaut, a house without a front door... You're a con man mr Neil... you should be ashamed of yourself... and it looks like there were no other parts either... Wheres the bloody cap and body????? BAAAD MAN!!!!!!



To be fair though, he obviously has never seen a fountain pen before.

Everyone who buys a pen from me gets a leaflet explaining how to look after the pen and where to get and fit refills. I offer either a plunger or cartridge as standard and explain the options. I do not give away the cartridges as I have had two clients, equally stupid, who punctured the cartridge but failed to secure the cartridge and ruined a jacket and tried to take me to the small claims court. I tell everyone how to fit it and where to get them. The ink that he had in the pen was that on the nib when he dipped it to try it out. From memory he wasn't that young, I think he might have enjoyed the beer tent a bit too much!

Politely, although there are few ways of telling him that there was not a 35mm cartridge hiding in the mechanism somewhere!

 

[Lons]

Dozy git. I'm surprised he didn't ask if it writes in text language.
He clearly can't read either. You need to redo your instructions in diagrams Neil

At least he asked nicely Neil which is one thing in the amoeba's favour.

 

[Jimjam66]

Are my eyes deceiving me or did he stick something down there and crush the feed nipple? While trying to "remove the cartridge", of course ...

Aaaaah, why do we do this to ourselves? If only customers were required to produce the results of a recent IQ test before being allowed to own anything more complex than a wooden pencil!
