“The Man”
T.I. New World Ltd
Dear Sir,
About Aug. ’87, I wrote to you regarding a grill unit for a Super Sola 11 which had self-distructed after only two years. I expected you to play the good guy, and replace it free. Instead, I got a letter full of old squit, and a replacement that cost me eighty-odd sheets.
During last November, when it was only just past its first birthday, the replacement did its first backfire. The wife gave me ‘the look’- the one she uses to open tins. I did my impression of a small stone. The moment passed. December almost passed before the next backfire, and-
“You’ll have to write a letter”- that’s the wife, pausing from breaking rabbits’ necks with the left hand while simultaneously skinning them with one stroke of the right.
From January, the pace hotted up somewhat. So did the broken fingers. My broken fingers. When I said it hurt, she just laughed, pushed back her S.S. cap and said “If you write a letter, it will get better!” Last night we had 3 blowbacks over one pair of burgers (home made with beef - not Bird’s Eye muckburgers) and our standard recipe for grilling beef, either steaks or humble burgers, is ‘just cut off its horns and wipe its arse’.
So Mr Fat Cat, your replacement lasted somewhere between 13 and 15 months, at about £16 a month. I could rent a grill cheaper, but it wouldn’t fit in the cooker. Now either you send me a free replacement or I declare war on you. What that means is for me to know and for you to find out. If you are going to do it the hard way, I suggest you pick up this weeks ‘Exchange and Mart’, and buy up as many tin hats as you can find.

New World agreed to provide a free grill unit if Randells would fit it, which they did.
