Prod to be on your site, and BTW, in Norway, to this day we have "brodder": spiky things mounted onto shoes and used when walking on ice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtcat Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 There is a fair chance that someone at BD may have a slightly deeper issue with spelling than just being a little careless. Maybe mocking it on here is a little unnecessary if we don't know the full story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more so if your aware of a problem that could affect the outcome of the post. A web presence is the face of your company for many customers nowadays. It’s a shoddy post no matter how you look at it. Should it make a difference, that’s not the point, it does make a big difference to many people. It smacks of an unprofessional, uncaring attitude. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely gave me a laugh and to be honest it won’t stop me from buying from the shop again. Work in progress! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's perfectly readable, just slihgtly wobbbly. There's actually something quite endearing about it in a Grauniad kind of way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll admit that my typing on a phone keyboard with autocorrect is worse than ever but I'm not trying to prevent a professional business. However I'll cut Bass Direct some slack. I've heard of people turning up wanting to buy a P bass and Mark has tried to steer them towards something better, so he earns a pass for that in my books. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
