As you say, always paid bang on the nail, no messing. When I dealt with them they didn’t use computers and avoided modern technology as much as possible. Absolutely no weekend working, Saturdays for the family and Sundays for the Lord is what they used to say. Dealt with a few down your way mate. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They used to come here, spreading the word, no problem with that, each to their own, but when they found out I don't follow the faith, they don't stop in anymore. Not trying to be offensive to anyone, but it does sound like a cult. Each to their own. Atb j Quote Link to post Share on other sites
