Are customers stupid? Or is it us?

Sometimes we do things that look silly, but sometimes the reasons are sillier.

For example, we sell Trampoline Safety Netting. just the net. It’s for when the wind has mangled the net part of your safety enclosure, or the kids sat on it, picking it apart with the fingers for fun. So, replacement netting. But, some people who have seen this, and bought it apparently were disappointed that for their £25 or £35 they did not also get the full enclosure AND trampoline.

So, for 2012 we have a new image that shows the net, but has a warning message explaining that the poles and sleeves are not included. So we also need to say TRAMPOLINE NOT INCLUDED? See them here at: http://www.trampolinesshop.co.uk/acatalog/Trampoline_Safety_Nets.html

And, whilst talking about unnecessary messages, at my local pool, they have a notice on the vending machine saying that these machines are for people coming out of the pool. ‘For health and safety reasons’ people using the machines will not be allowed in for 1 hour.

Why? Apparently someone in the pool has bought the old wives tale that it’s not safe to swim for 1 hour after eating, so they have banned people even buying a mars bar! So much for work, rest and play.
