It's the close season for table tennis and a great time to stock up on product before prices go back up again. So I went online to see what Tees Sport had on offer in terms of table tennis rubbers.
Tees Sport is a specialist supplier of table tennis gear - superb range of rubbers which is what I was after. Within a day of ordering my two new sheets of rubber - low weight and posted first class - dropped through the letter box. It will be interesting to see how the company now interacts with me given that this was my first purchase from them for about three years.

Deal of the day (DOTD)
I follow Marks & Spencer (M&S) on Twitter for professional purposes. However, I am also a M&S credit card holder and use the points I gain to purchase some of my clothes from the store. I've had a couple of pairs of Blue Harbour moleskin trousers and they are living up to their billing.
Well I was interested in a recent DOTD that flashed up on my Twitter feed. For one day only trekking trousers were on offer at £25 rather than the normal price of £35. I'm not a sucker for an offer but had been thinking of buying such a pair of trousers but hadn't got round to it.
Click through to the offer, order on line - plenty of stock available in 4 colour choices, 3 lengths and a full range of waist sizes. Placed my order on line and opted to collect at the store of my choice - although I could have had them delivered to my home address.
Collected them at my convenience, no fuss and one satisfied walker. Good blended experience of online / instore too. Add in the good looking construction of the product and it looks as though M&S is back on form.

The Bat Doctor
Followers of this blog will know of the cricket gear purchased from Super Sports in Preston recently (see blog of April 14). Well cricket bats are pressed from wood and are prone to cracking and splitting. When what seemed like a small crack appeared in the splice of the bat (getting a bit technical here!) we motored over to Preston to see Mushy in his shop.
He had a good look at it and diagnosed the fault as some glue coming loose and not a split or crack. He explained that if that was the case the crack/split would go through from the front of the bat to the back.
He then spent ten minutes vary carefully re-glueing the bat - he's not known as the Bat Doctor for nothing - and tested the bat himself, exerting his weight on it. My son was informed just to carrying on using the bat and not be afraid of it splitting or cracking - because it shouldn't. If it did we were just to bring it back and he'd replace it.
Super Sports import bats from Pakistan to their own specifcation - the owners go out to witness the pressing process personally In the Palace Shield cricket league based around Blackpool and Preston it is unusual to see cricketers using anything other than a Super Sports bat these days.
