Give it a go, well worth a try as you have nothing to lose. If you can convince the area manager then who knows. Point out you are part of a group with national coverage but local service if required, and good luck !! :D

I imagine it would be a very lucrative site if you could get it but I would imagine these sites would be maintained by national operators if anyone was to (officially) get in.

got a tower into a wetherspoons, sold 19 in two weeks and then spent the last month in the back room while the managers decided whether or not to let me pick it up... got a voicemail last night saying i can have it back. apparently their head office sent an email out to the area managers saying that charity machines are a scam. Bit of a pain really but if you need some free storage for your machines.... :lol:

I got a call today from a weather spoon site I have in Eastbourne asking me to remove my machine due to head office sending an email around telling them to have them removed. Massive shame as it sold over 50 pots per week, week in week out

So how has this rumour got around that the machines we have are a scam, is it worth contacting weatherspoons they are approved and endorsed by H4H

Regards
