Yeah sorry on a serious note, he is a willow barron. Has his own brand, can get you pretty much most gear at very competitve prices and I don't think there has been a case of a poor quality bat.

He may take a little time in coming back to you but will deliver every time

This Talisman fellow is also known as the Pod Father.
He does more miles and personal bat deliveries than anyone I know.
Watch out for him turning up on your door step with 3 or 4 20+ grainer bats all in your weight for you to choose from and the next thing you know you have bought two bats rather than one because they were just too good to say no to. 
There are rumours of him having a base somewhere deep in the heart of Cider country and that he can supply all sorts of cricket equipment (and dodgy pingpong balls apparently) at excellent prices.
Catch him on a good day and your equipment will be with you next day, catch him on a bad day and it may take a month.
What can be said is that he has excellent contacts within the industry and has exacting standards and knows about willow.
He also bowls a vicious away swinging heavy ball.
