Anyone Know This Crowd?

I'm sure your local Ducati, Aprilia, KTM, Kawasaki, Moto Guzzi and BMW dealers are all sitting by their landlines keenly awaiting your call, go on Perry, make their day.....

 

They may not be awaiting my call but strangely enough, the luddites all have landlines. Clearly, they have managed to suppress the temptation to rush out to Tesco for a PAYG sim.

Strange that.

 

It's literally an industrial unit not a manned showroom. You don't need a landline for fibre, you just get billed for line rental by providers piggybacking on the bt backbone.

If you are expecting even a modicum of dealer support from an outfit like this you are shopping in the wrong place anyway.

 

As it happens I agree with you in this instance. An established dealer representing a big brand should have a land line. I'm disappointed you don't think they are expecting your call, wouldn't it be great if when you finally make that call they pick up and say" Ah Perry, we've been waiting for you"

 

If you’re referring to Worcester Ducati they have a landline number.

It wouldn’t bother me if a business had no landline in the slightest.

 

It would me. To the extent that if Ducati Worcester only had a mobile number, so if I wanted to use my landline to call them, it would be in effect be calling a premium rate sex line, then I wouldn't call them, or give them any business. That could be why any of the big dealers that I know, such as Riders, Fowlers, and Frasers, all have normal landline numbers. They have fixed premises and so fixed numbers. I expect that they want to leave the throw-away PAYG sim numbers to the drug dealers.

 

I only know my taxi driver by his mobile number. But then, he doesn't work from an office and spends much of the day out and driving around. That makes sense and so not surprising at all to only use a mobile.

 

Always out and about doing business ....... So just the same as the business at the head of this post then ?

You contradict yourself young padawan
