I've tried online site, but the context does not make much sense.  :hmmmm:

Can someone please translate the following text to English?


Die Farbe blau, macht deren Angebote auch nicht interessanter


It was sent with a mail by mistake from prospective customer, and I think he may have been taking the piss

The color blue doesn't make their offers any more interesting.

Seems like the Google translation gets thrown off by the comma after "blau", which has no place there.

Thanks for that - it seems this customer is having a bit of a pop at me so I shall revert in kind   :devil:

I trade paper - joblots from container loads upwards globally. One of my German customers obviously did not appreciate my new colour scheme (blue) I started on an e-mail template, and took the piss to his colleague, but accidentally copied me in.  :laugh:

Made a note to send him this link tomorrow -

German: Will you stop talking about the war?
Basil: Me? You started it.
German: We did not start it!
Basil: Yes you did, you invaded Poland.
