This isn't an opening page Andy, I guess it's the page you were on when you bookmarked it?
I've logged mine as Forum so I can just hit "View New Pages"

Have you subscribed to Arena? or perhaps if a year has gone by you need to renew your subscription to it?

How's work going?

Thanks chaps,
Apols, not very good with this new-fangled interweb or computer stuff and it's so hard to buy typewriter ribbons these days, plus putting stamps on envelopes to respond to emails etc...
Work's pretty busy thx BP with my 22 construction sites on the go and all. Problem, as always though, is 'who I'm doing it for'....
And I did Paypal two quid a while back so'll jump to The Arena in a mo.
Best to all,
a dot p

Welcome to our forum Chief, pull up a rusty bandit, have a cup of tea and a biscuit and tell us all about yourself.

Are you here or from over there?

Hello all,
I have spoken to Jack on the phone, he seems a helpful enough chap,but after sending my third order request and not received a reply I think it is time to give up. I bought some decals that he advertised on Ebay that must have been 6 months ago (he is still advertising them now) and he sent his catalogue with them I thought great, there or loads of things I need so I sent my first order request and that was the last I heard. It seem very strange he bothers to send out a catalogue and then totaly ignors any request for an order.

Regards JRA.

Having never used him I can't comment on him... He must be sitting on a pile of stock of his catalogue is anything to go by, surely he wouldn't want that lot lying around. His lack of communication is very different to Dave Berten who emails back very quickly and dispatches items quickly. I've used Dave a couple of times and have been here within 6 days of order. Could metal form have sold off all their stock? If so, who too?

Jack is one of a kind, he makes a lot of his stock himself.
My experience suggests he fires up the furnace when he has enough orders, so long as the temperature outside is below 80 F which isn't too often it seems.

Anyone know if MFP still trades?
I googled it and I got a hit that said the Business had closed?

I don't think he will ever get rich selling $10 lock sets and bandit glasses though.
