This product was advertised in the magazine recently. It is a new idea for parasol bases that 'flat packs' for carrying in the van etc: It has a spike that you drive into the ground and this in turn screws to a square base and tube to hold the parasol.
It seemed the perfect answer to those age old problems of the base allowing the parasol to blow over in a light wind. I was really impressed by the idea and tried to order one. First I sent a letter and Cheque to cover cost and having not got a response that way ordered via the internet. I have even spoken directly to Mike Halsom the person who makes and markets these and despite him saying he would ensure he would send me one in time for my annual holiday on 17th July I have received nothing. I must stress that my cheque has NOT been cashed and neither has my credit card been debited so I am not out of pocket, BUT why is it not possible to get this sent to me? Has anyone managed to order and receive a Miracle base (www.miraclebase.co.uk)? I would be interested to hear. Amazingly the product looks so good I still want one!!
