Bit harsh chaps.
Certainly wasn't meant to be, Geoff. More "objective" was my aim.
Being the sort of bloke who, once out of his weekday work uniform, prefers not to slob about in Jeans of a weekend, I have got in the habit of wearing those cargo trousers or whatever it is they're called. Some zip off, some not, and mainly Craghopper, as well as being a good fit and comfy, they also have a Ram motif! 
Coupled with various "outdoor" type fleeces, rather than a "pullover", and polo shirts rather than "proper", it would be fair to say a good 50% of my wardrobe now comes from GO, with a further 20% from similar high street outdoor retailers (Mountain Warehouse & the like). (The rest come from Burton's... with Muckerette's excellent staff discount! Thank you, Sir Philip Green!  )
When GO have a deal on, they can be very, very competitive, and I see no reason to stop using them.
It's also handy as not only do they offer free and easy out of town parking, they also have a branch literally 200 yards from my office... and even in the right direction for home!
When I'm ready for a new tiny Coleman gas bottle for my single burner, I'll get it from GO.
If and when I need a new loo bucket, I'll get the same as I have now... from GO.
Same goes for most pegs (Other than Delta, of course) and various other sundries.
If and when we need new kitchen gear (tables/cupboards/cookers and stands etc, I'll certainly take at least a look in GO, before trying t'interweb.
...Oh, and I got my soopah doopah fisherman's sleeping bags from there too, and I'm always raving about them!
So no... not "harsh"... just firm but fair! 
... In fact, I've come up with a new, rather snappy little line for them...
"Go Camping? Go Fishing? Go Cycling? Go Hiking?
...Go stop at G.O."
Hmmm... Quite good that... Think I'll Email their Catchphrase Dept! Might get it on telly!

I know in a post way back I said I wasnt overly impressed with G.O. but now I have parted with me 5 quid for their discount card I might need to eat my words a bit. Went the other week to get a new portaloo which was a good price, but came out with the Vango Aurora sleeping bag as well, which now makes me wish we had got a good one in the 1st place. (live & learn I suppose). Anyway, raining today, so took a run back there today to get some of that pink toilet stuff. Didnt even bother with a basket as that was all we went for. About an hour in there and at the till with the toilet stuff...plus 4 thin fleeces (2each) 2 pairs of walking shoes (trainer type) for me and yes I did offer to get GW a pair, and with our discount for being English Heritage members, I got change out of 70quid. I probably would have spent nearly that visiting some posh house & gardens and tea & cake in their cafe, which was what we had planned for the day. See the sun can shine on a rainy day. If anyone from GO sees this, the staff in your Canterbury store were top notch, really friendly, and the young guy on the footwear dept couldnt do enough to help so thanks again.
I read the title of this thread and thought you meant you'd returned your entire order!
