ok fair enough slating BLB but now consider their point of view if:
You have 50 people a day coming in asking to use the pump
people nicking or breaking it......
You can pick up a decent track pump with pressure gauge for £15 - I don't doubt BLB can get this cheaper at trade prices but let's stick with £15.
50 people a day at 50p = £25 a day / £175 a week.
Are they really going through around 12 track pumps a week ? I doubt it, they are simply making money, I think your point would have merit if a pump was expensive.
It wouldn't be such a bad idea to charge 50p just to keep people from asking for it every 5 min.
Why would they wish to stop people asking for the use of a pump ?
