Dear all,
coudl you please sugges me a model shop selling product on line. I'm
interested in trams, trains and tube models.

http://www.ltmuseumshop.co.uk/

You may need to E Mail the museum with your request but they have a good
range of Tube and Tram models and some train stuff. They also sell a
wide range of bus models.

Am I alone in finding LT Museum Shop staff incredibly offhand and
unfriendly most of the time?

No - despite being a regular myself there is little recognition from the
staff and that despite the fact they know I am staff.

The wages are not very good and I imagine that the job can be hideous
when the place is besieged with school trips or else legions of families
during the holidays. As I'm sure you know dealing with the public can
leave a lot to be desired at times!

I spend (perhaps too much!) time and money in there and the staff nearly
always seem to look unhappy and behave as though serving me is a real
chore. When one lady was extremely pleasant to me last week, it was an
unusual enough occurrence for me to notice!

I think I know which lady you are referring to. Strangely the shop
manager is very helpful if you ask him a question but then he's not
often about the place. The rest of the time a question about the
availability of a model or a launch date or a request to reserve
something is met with a pile of lame excuses as to why it isn't possible
when I know full well that certain people can get all sorts of things
reserved!
