In the Beginning.... There was Hard Rubbish.

Every great story must have its genesis. Ours began with the annual hard rubbish collection in our neighbourhood and a certain little unloved object of the two wheeled variety.

We spotted it whilst driving one day and did the typical hard rubbish stop in the middle of the road forgetting that there might be people needing to get to their super urgent important destinations behind us.

Unfortunately, because we show an unnerving lack of foresight, our one and only household car is a sedan and so Mz.P sprung out and claimed the little beauty whilst Gerard headed home in the car.
Mz.P wasn't far behind as luckily our new precious was only just down the street and soon the Le Tour de Wunderbar (apologies to any French or Germans checking in as we bastardise both of your languages) was sitting in our shed.



A bit of a polish and she was soon ready to be put up for sale online. She wasn't sitting there for very long when we had some interest and a sale. A nice little profit and any banker in the room want to tell us the ROI on something you get for free?
We looked at each other and said, you know, I wonder if we can make a habit of this?

And so the first seeds, the sprout of an idea and an adventure was born. Hard rubbish, alas, only lasts but a few short, joyful weeks, but hey, there are a plethora of Op Shops around these parts. Maybe it's time to give them a visit...

Hello My Very Special Friend Is Usually Not a Greeting We'd Want to Hear.

Hello.

        Welcome.

If you're reading this, then that makes you a very unique person. For you, yes you, are reading the very first blog, a blog that in this moment most likely has and has had (apart from our mother) no readers other than that of yourself. And what is this blog that you are reading that you have somehow stumbled upon as you surf the interweb at some unusual hours of the morning (you really should go to bed, that's what our mother would tell you)? Why this is the first unread blog for our brand new site that also no one actually at this point knows about. But, wait, soon that may all change! Read on, if you wish to learn the tales of our new start up adventure. As we share our experiences conversing with suppliers who only know English as their fifth or sixth language. Fear not, this will not be some xenophobic rant, for we find it a marvel of our modern wonderfully interconnected world that for the price of a free email or an Alibaba inquiry we can converse with a friendly helpful person in the middle of China about their latest products. But despite our admiration for their language and merciless negotiating skills it always brings an unironic smile to our dials when we receive these overtly friendly emails that go something along the lines of
