Volkan,

I thought a little anecodote might give an idea of the kind of nice people Thorpe Bros are.

Around 9/10 years ago at Long Marston Warwickshire, I stumbled across a jet meeting. One of the main highlights was the new JPX powered StarJet I think being flown by John Palmer. Wild rabid horses would not have pulled me away from this spectacle.

It was a really hot and baking day. I happened to be out on my own with my son, Greg a mere 2 or 3 years old. We had of course walked round and round for ages, and still being a novice father fully in charge, I had not realised how thirsty he had gotten. He began to complain just a little bit just as we got to the Thorpe Bros Stand.

One of the Thorpe Brothers was stood behind his wares and had in his hand a big glass of orange squash. Greg looked up and immediately pointed at the glass, using that kind of irrestible blackmailing face, clearly he wanted the drink!. "You can't have one of those Greg, we'll have to go to the refreshment wagon" quoth I looking at the incredibly big queues to the catering wagons.

Mr Thorpe without being asked said "No worries, kids need fluid on a day like this, here you are son", and in doing so passed this glass of squash over to the eager clutches of Greg.

Greg duly drank........... the lot, virtually 3/4 pint of squash or so!!!!! Then when finished he politely said thank you, "Can we go home now"!!!!!!

I was so embarrassed, I tried to pay for the squash to an obviously amused Mr Thorpe but he would have none of it, but I did pay for and walk away with a catalogue, mainly out of embarrasment!!!

But there you go, nice people who could always do a side line in refreshments should the need arise at the next show they go to!!!!

I hope the web site works out well for you both,

Tarrah,
