Stupid is as stupid does
I’m split on this one Aidan, but I won’t do a Lib-dem and sit on the fence.
Customer: Even if it is free, if a helmet does not fit snugly then it is not fit for purpose. Not only will the owner of the newly acquired helmet feel uncomfortable, but are potentially putting their life at risk in the unfortunate event of an accident.
I once purchased a tin opener for £1.50 because that was the only one which was available in the small town where I was working at the time. Due to the fact that it would not open my tin of beans, I returned to the ironmongers seeking a refund. The proprietor of the said shop refused to reimburse me, stating, “It only cost you £1.50.”
After much debate and when I pointed out that the cost was irrelevant as it wouldn’t open a tin, he agreed to repay me in full.
Retailer: If I was employed on the clothing department at a Motorcycle dealership, my conscience would not allow me to sell a poor fitting helmet to a customer without advising them of the fact and of the implications, should they wish to proceed with the purchase. After all, it’s not a pair of flip-flops – it’s a life saving item of equipment.
I will mention one phrase that I believe is applicable to this situation.
" Take responsibility for your own actions - and suffer the consequences of poor thought process "
There is another phrase that is also appropriate too
" Buy cheap, pay twice "
I believe that this will cover most eventualities.
Gotta disagree with that Ken. The helmet is fit for purpose it's the idiot who buys or sells a badly fitting one that is'ntOriginally Posted by monday21

Sorry Graeme, I could have worded that better. Of course you are right. What I meant to say is that it's not fit for the individual it dosen't fit, if you know what I mean. :-/ : ;D
