No reply to that other than walk straight out.
(I suppose I could have smashed the shop windows and turned some doughnuts in the car park... You always think of these things later don't you.)

same happened to me but the guy was only joking! when I first walked into the orvis shop, I was expecting the staff to look down there sniffer at me If I didnt spend wads of cash. I shudnt have judged, the guys there were sorted, chattin to me like a normal person. Hence im a regular customer!

the only person in that shop who didnt apreciate me was some woman behind the tills watchin the money roll in whenever a toff entered the door. and guess what, she knew f*** all about fishing
