jimbeekeeper,
As you have said you have not seen a beehaus in the flesh
Now then, where and when exactly did I say that? You must know that misquoting, or quoting from a long time ago, can be extremely misleading on a subject such as this - and, furthermore, you are wrong, as usual, because, yes, I have seen an omlette 'in the flesh' as you put it.
To use the word superior is a very arrogant word!
Not sure what you are trying to say here but working on the context of the post I may be able to work out what you were trying to write.
If you were referring to me, please apologise and retract - Admin, please note.
You may have meant to use the word arrogate, but I doubt that.
If you were referring to the word, then you are in need of a dictionary, perchance? The Little Oxford Dictionary gives the following meanings (in this context) for superior: higher in rank or quality etc., (to) (where the 'to' means in comparison with); better or greater in some respect'.
I did qualify my use of the word with 'in many respects' and that 'many' was more than several, not two - as you might have us believe.
not want they want
I believe you are not entirely correct with that, or even the whole sentence.
I think it more appropriate that you should provide a list of how you think the plastic version is superior to the Dartington, if, indeed, you actually do.
I am well aware that no one is trying to convince me to buy one. I am well able look at all relevant information and try to come to a rational (usually) decision re what I buy, whether it might be a motor car, a beehive, or even a TV (of which I/we made the rational decision to 'skip' the old one, and not replace it, some years ago).
RoofTops,
Yaxley might come to mind?
On reflection I may have been a little sharp with my question, but, if genuine, 'they' need only to have read their post and realised it may have looked like a commercial intervention in an entirely 'out of context' thread and come back with an explanation. My apologies to the poster - if genuine.
I refer you to the original post where it says:
I have narrowed my selection of hive (which I will have 2 for my garden) to:
1) WBC
2) National
I know we often get off track, and we probably are here, but after ten pages of this thread, our newbie to the forum changes from 'I' (in posts one and two) to 'we recommend' (something entirely different) in post 3 for this thread. I remain mystified.
I freely admit I am not the most diplomatic person in the world, ask direct questions (and accept truthful replies) but I do try to give factual, helpful and honest responses to scenarios which are often of a distinctly hazy nature.
If you confirm the first line is correct I will contact by phone.
Regards, RAB
