Yes I am afraid it was S J A & S
In the days when I was buying in bulk. One of the A bros would deal with the orders personally
The service has gone downhill over recent years & some of those office staff are lazy sods
After the 30mm bright round episode, i was up there the following week.
Didn't bother going to the steel stores. Went straight up the cutting shop !!
I asked one of the lads if there was any chance that he had an off-cut of 30mm bright round ??
He stopped what he was doing & said " Lets go and have a look "
We went down to the shed, right next to the steel stores office. Pulled out a 1.7m off-cut. " Will that do )
He did malke a point of shouting into the office " This gentleman would like to pay for this bit of bar "..........." You know, the one you didn't have time to cut last week )
He went as red as a beetroot

It must be a universal problem
Brings a whole new meaning to " Nothings too much trouble "
You get nothing & even that is too much trouble !!??
