Simple and straightforward this one, as this email from me to them illustrates (I'd ordered a little three band radio off them):

So on your web site where it said, and *still* says:

  IN STOCK - READY FOR DESPATCH

that would be a untrue then? Isn't that more than a little dishonest?

Please cancel it: if your web site can't be trusted how can I trust the
rest of your business?

Shame really as I wanted that radio, however Simply Radios did have it in stock and shipped it to me the day after I ordered it.

 Current status: (via twitter)
Paul thinks the aborted sailing trip may actually turn out to have been quite a good outcome given the weather
