    There is another supplier in the Pontypool area, 1/2 way between Peterborough and Oshawa. Lotus valley is the name if any one is interested I can look up their address & number. Very nice couple to deal with, CDL dealer and syrup producers who sell in the Durham Region farmer's markets.

    mtb guy- saw on your signature that your MF in half makes you a redneck- I thought all the rednecks in CANADA lived in Alberta? (I used to live in BC)

    There are pockets of rednecks all over ontario. generally located close to the farm equipment dealerships.

    Anybody ever deal with Webers in St Clements? They are close for me, and I'm looking to buy some tubing.

    I went through Pontypool on my way to Daves and never found them. Pontypool is not a very big village for anyone to hide in.

    We have purchased from D & G in PQ a few times and never had any problem. As for Atkinsons this past summer I broke a hydrometer and never expecting this not to be out of stock had someone stop in to pick one up. They were told they were out of stock and wouldnt have any till next spring. Really: isnt this something that is really basic and you would think that a supplier who claim to have "great' customer service would have that item always in stock.And as for Martin Weber in St. Jacobs, good pricing but not a large amount of supplys.

    ps got 2 hydrometer at LEADER in Vermont, they had tons in stock

    Ken WP if you are still having problems with D & G give Germain Fortin a call at 450-539-2225. He has his own showroom near Waterloo Qc. and he sells for CDL, and he also speaks english. I'm sure he can fix you up!

    Techtuar deals with him a lot also and gave him a good recommendation also.Most French are good with service but some are a pain. I found the product number for fibre board on my own thru one of the old D&G catologs so I can go and ask the kid over at the Compton store for a price now. I just can't figure out why dealing with the people in Montreal is such a problem. In this day and age you would think they would jump for new business.
