I would like to say a very big thank you for the speedy service and ask if you could e-mail me when you have some more in stock with a 35 leg. these are a very high quality item and will last a long time, even for me, as a wild life photographer. So again thank you and I look forward to hearing from you soon." - S.Davis, 11 August 2009

Thanks again." - D.Richler, 5 June 2009

"Just a quick note to say Thanks for getting my order to me so quickly-brilliant service. Also as you quite rightly stated my account was debited for £80, not the higher amount stated. Apologies on my part." - M.Vyse, 9 February 2009

"Thank you. Recently I ordered the French Leather Lined Satchel from you, with it arriving at my door this last Saturday. (Because the post man seemed incapable of knocking on the door, I only just collected it today.) I must say your service has been excellent to say the least. You processed my order, dispatched it, and had it delivered to my door within three days, with the product itself in a marvellous condition. All this despite the apparent disabling weather conditions the country has suffered lately. It's been a while seen I've seen such service, so thank you very much. I will not hesitate to bring my custom to you once again - I already have my eye on one or two things!" - D.Wilson, 9 February 2009

"Just taken delivery of your magic heat hand warmers, Fantastic! A good bit of kit at a good price giving a good half hour of warmth. When activated it looks a bit freaky too!" - M.Pixton, 7 February 2009

"Received my French army leather-lined satchel first thing this morning - absolutely delighted and a real nice surprise as you said it wouldn't go in the post til Monday! It is ideal as a camera bag - I can fit a Canon DSLR plus one lens and bits 'n bobs such as spare batts, filters etc. The satchel is much tougher than a normal camera bag, and is obviously not a camera bag to the casual ASBO who likes to mug photographers ( I was threatened about 4 years ago by a couple of yobs whilst taking snaps of the Gateshead Millenium Bridge at night but requested them politely to eff off - then they saw my English Bull Terrier and thought that perhaps it might be best to heed the advice I was giving them!). I reckon you could do very well selling these bags to photographers - especially when you look at specialist bags made by Billingham (similar bag to the French satchel but at £108 rather more expensive!) Lowepro, Tenba etc etc. I will certainly be extolling the virtues of Mean 'n Green to my students - I teach digital photography to adults at several different establishments. Thanks again, and I'm sure I'll be directing many more photogs to your website." - N.Shuttleworth, 7 February 2009

"Just wanted to say my shirt came today and I am most pleased with both the shirt (which fits me perfectly) and the speed of your service. To say I only ordered it 2 days ago I was most surprised when it arrived this morning." - R.Atack, 3 February 2009

"I just got the S-10 gas mask. I would just like to let you know that I am extremley satisfied with the quality of this mask and that there are no functioning problems with it at all. The mask fits well, the field of vision is superb, and there are no leaks that I can detect. I was hesitant that there might be issues with it as it was used surplus but all that has been dismissed since I recieved it. I have no idea on the filters functionality, but I have ordered a new one from a different site. I plan to use it at my local gun range, there are a few of my guns that I am testing their durability in which I plan to pump through 1000 rounds within a day. Using this mask will keep me free of the lead contaminants and other airborn chemicals that are associated with military surplus ammo." - B.Nowell, 11 April 2007
