SBS “Gold Medal” scam!
March 17, 2009 – 11:25 am - Posted by PeterReaders of recent advertisements for SBS virtual radar will have noticed the the product was claimed to have been awarded a “Gold Medal.” This has proved to be a complete hoax. No gold medal has been awarded. The best explanation from the distributors was that they themselves awarded themselves the gold medal! Sharp practice, or dishonesty? Make your own mind up on this one.
In the meantime RadarBox continues to gain the reputation as a product that is reliable, has lots of features not found on the SBS product, and above all, does not need to be promoted by hoax gold medals - it sells on its honest reputation.
German Exchange Student
February 23, 2009 – 3:27 pm - Posted by DaveFor a little over a week now, Waters & Stanton has employed a German exchange student named; Marius Mollenhauer. Marius is 24 and comes from Hockleys twinned town of Haltern Am See in Germany. He is currently attending Ruhr-University of Bochum studying English and Geography.
He is visiting us for 6 weeks in total to experience the English language and culture first hand. When not studying and working hard, he enjoys football, cars, and watching DVD’s. He is going to be working in different departments throughout W&S during his stay.
Marius is still taking everything in at the moment, so we will come back and see how he likes or dislikes England, but I think he will enjoy his stay, apart from the weather maybe!
Picture coming soon!

Happy New Year
December 31, 2008 – 12:10 pm - Posted by DaveWell I know all of us here had a good time over Christmas, and we hope all of you did too. There has been a lot happening over the Christmas period here at WSPLC, the shop has been especially busy. Unfortunately for the time being we have sold out of W-8681 Weather Stations, they are so popular its hard to get one to everyone that wants one. We should have more of those in soon though, so don’t worry if you haven’t managed to get one yet.
And as most of you have probably noticed by now our site is completely up and running now. We are still tweaking settings and making minor adjustments, but nothing major. I have had a few comments from users about the site, which I’m pleased to say are almost all good. If you have any comments about the website or the blog, feel free to leave them on here as they are all read and checked by me for spam before they appear.
We are wrapping up 2008 well, and everyone plans to celebrate tonight. 2008 has been a good year even though the economy is turning, trading has been good, and we hope that in 2009 we will see even more custom.
Thank you and happy new year from all the Waters and Stanton staff.
New Site & Ebay
November 24, 2008 – 12:44 pm - Posted by DaveAs most of you have probably seen, we have now got our new website up and running. There are still a few wrinkles here and there that need to be worked out, so we are still ironing those out, but for the most part the site is working well.
We have also implemented a new feature today; stock level indication. We are the first, and currently, only major dealer in the industry to have stock level indicators on our website. This means you no longer need to ring us to check if your product is in stock. If something is indicated out of stock, go ahead and order it as the product is probably on it’s way to us already.
On a related note, our feedback on Ebay recently hit 11,000 positive replies. We sell quite a lot of second hand and brand new equipment on Ebay, so take a look and you may find something you like.

New Website
November 6, 2008 – 6:11 pm - Posted by SteveWe have been hard at work here behind the scenes overhauling our website. It’s now ready for public consumption and so we plan to roll it out over the next few days. Please bear with us if the site is down over this period, it probably means we are uploading the new site and all will be back to normal shortly. We hope you like the new design and features!
