Now you tell me!
They were in the car Mike.
Sold a set of stickers & a baseball cap while we were there.
Stickers are 5 quid for a set of 6 or 50p each for the small ones & £1 each for the larger ones.
The embroidered shirts & sweatshirts are done to order as we just can't afford to keep a stock of them, (we've usually got most sizes of printed T shirts in stock). I collected an order from our merchandise guy last week though & he warned me the price of cotton has rocketed -apparently there's a shortage of it at the moment, so he'll have to put up his prices. We can absorb the T shirt increase, but may have to add a quid or 2 to the cost of sweatshirts & workshirts. We don't make a profit from merchandise -I'd rather see 10 guys wearing cheap shirts than charge more & only sell 1. So you get 'em for more or less what we do, give or take literally a couple of pence.
Let me know what you'd like & I'll get it sorted.

Just had an odd email -well, I get odd emails from you lot all the time, but this one was from Doug of the Guzzlers car club.
-but not the Doug or the Guzzlers I know.

Hi Andy,
My name is Doug, I'm the Chairman of the Guzzlers Kar Klub based up here in North Wales.
I have recently found out through your site that there is in fact another Doug and another Guzzlers.
I am trying to contact the Guzzlers in Basingstoke, Hampshire. Do you have any contact details for them please?
 
Our Guzzlers Klub over here in North Wales is a thriving local club with our own annual show.  It would be good to contact the Basingstoke Guzzlers to find out about their club.

How weird is that! I've passed on our Doug's phone number. Just hope we haven't started some sort of international Guzzlers turf war now.

I forgot what I went for too - I passed a stall doing numberplates and thought to myself - now what did I want from a stall like that?  But there was no reply from my brain.
So I still haven't got a sign saying "BG Towers" to put outside my mahoosive new tent!
