W@nkers.”

i Wasn't going to go into detail but that story is very similar to mine!

Went to buy our first ever PC, Walked in, chose the one I wanted, waited, and waited, ant waited ..... After literally 30-40 minutes still no assistance. Back in those days they kept the computer boxes under the display shelves and at the end of the aisles. So I loaded it onto a trolley and headed to the checkout ..... All of a sudden 3 members of staff were suddenly able to free themselves up and came charging over "You can't do that... We have to serve you!!" - Erm OK. I was sent to the seated area till an assistant was free, Finally after about an hour in the shop I got the assistant to load it onto the trolley and started to walk back to the checkout ..... once again "You can't do that, we need to go and sit down"

I had been in the shop for an hour and wanted to go! I reluctantly walked to the seating area again, and then the spiel for the warranty started, I politely interrupted and said it is my personal policy not to buy extended warranties, he laughed and changed the subject than started again! I reminded him it was going to happen, and begged could I please just pay for my PC and go, and he happily laughed and said "I am afraid it is a job requirement for me to ask you at least 3 times" ..... To which I replied "Well I have been here over an hour, if you ask me a third time, you'll lose the sale"
He did, and I left. He grovelled as I was leaving, and acted like his hands were tied.

I resolved never to buy a PC from there.

I love how everyone knows what scammers Dixons were with the 'extended warranties' that weren't worth a light, and so they quietly hide their main name and make Currys the more dominant one. I'd never shop there again.





"There's millions", said Geoffrey, "All under one roof"

I've always known that.”

I knew it too, but the misheard lyrics are more fun - that's F.U.N. Google it.

No doubt that's after scenes like Asda when they tried it for the first year and people were punching each other over a TV and falling over each other, causing a health snad safety nightmare. Not sure if they did it for a second year, but if so, they certainly toned things down.

Oh, Jane, but those guys have one thing that the other guys don't have... a badge saying "PC team" or some crap like that

Can I just say to all the hipster oldies on here ("I'm 108 and listen to Carcass!") that Daniel O'Donnell and his usual Christmas CD buddies aren't trying to sell their new CD's to you. It's aimed at the fans of that type of dirge. Lord knows where they come from but they're out there in sufficient numbers I suppose. Then there's always the Guilty Pleasure listener. Don't forget them! So hipster oldie, you're not going to find it in your stocking (unless someone is giving it to you for a laugh). So, enough with the faux outrage if you please.

I have always thought they said "there's millions of debris all under one roof" which has never made any sense to me. I couldn't be bothered to look it up as I wasn't that interested ... but now it makes perfect sense. Although .... who is Geoffrey ?

Geoffrey is the rhinoceros - you know, the one with the spindly legs and really long neck? The 'front man', as it were.

A rhino has a long neck ? I will have to pay attention next time. I normally zone out as I don't understand what they are singing about !

Give over! It's one of the most covred songs in history and this version is better than pretty much all of them. Try the Boyz II Men Glee style version or Sarah Menescal's jazz stylings!

I am surprised that we haven't had the latest effort from bloody Foster And Allen to torment us again yet. As you say, I think music like this fits squarely into the "what shall we buy grandma this year" category.

Albums strictly for the over-60s and every year we get more like this. Though, to be honest, I doubt even my own mother would enjoy this sort of crap and she is over 70!!”

It's all next summer's car boot sale fodder, joining the old Bryn Terfel CD's and Friends DVD's that have been on the car boot circuit for years now.

FFS, why do people have these dumb-ass things?! Like that stupid bloody 'HIVE' thing that switches on the heating 10 minutes before you get in, from your smart phone! How DID we cope before???????????

I have to agree. I am sick of this kind of breathy indie singing!

LOL! My husband knows more than them, and he doesn't even work in I.T.

Sounds about right. I am sure they just sit there waiting to pounce and sell people extra crap!

And at you waiting an hour! We waited about 10-11 minutes, then hubby got up and said 'WE'RE GOING! unless someone will just put this through a checkout for us NOW.' As we walked towards the door, an assistant ran over and said 'ok we can just put it through the checkout at the front!' FFS, we have had computers since 1999, and laptops since 2006; we DON'T NEED HELP!

You can buy a pack of DVD's or a PAYG mobile or camera at the checkout no problem, it should be the same for a computer or laptop unless you REQUEST help.
