My wife doesn't understand how some of the Model
Engineering suppliers stay in business.

Some orders you wait months for and are still
incomplete.

As I say to her, if its castings or parts for a
particular engine, then you are stuck with that
supplier good or bad.  That is till you've finished
that particular model, then you make sure they are not
the suppliers of the next project.

Cheers

Ken
