Just heard the news that Knotts Motorcycles in Stratford Upon Avon called in the receivers this week. A sign of these hard times I guess.

Perhaps if they had taken any bloody notice when people went in they may have survived.
JustStan and me went in just before christmas, not one of the lazy a%$soles could even be bothered to speak to us.
We walked around the whole shop and all the clothing , 3 were p*&&%$g about with a game on a computer and the other one feet was just slumped over the counter.
At least when they were just in Redditch somebody sometimes made the effort to speak to you.
Bugger all effort in = no business. Funny how many businesses dont understand that simple equation.
If they cant be bothered to put the effort in they dont deserve to survive.
Saw Digby walking in Stratford over Xmas, he did look a bit dejected and tired. I wonder if Suzuki pulling the franchise was the final straw, thought he would survive as he had a good afluent customer base
Not good as you say, choice is now ever more limited.
Feel a new thread coming on.
You may have a point there Chris, it sometimes seems the bigger the showroom becomes the more impersonal it is. I often used Knotts as a stop off with students for a coffee - an ideal opportunity for the salesmen to create a good impression and to start developing two new future customers. Alas, not once on any occasion did a salesman approach and offer to show the students around and to talk to them about their future needs whether it was for a bike or clothing. Potential customer's walk in and are completely ignored - where's the sense in that.
I don't understand why they weren't open on Sunday. Seems daft not to be.
