Currys PC World. It is to retail appliances what roly is to football club stewardship and latrine is to honesty.
Massive bunch of crooks peddling piss poor shit boxed up as goods, then having the brass neck to say "tough luck sucker we've got your money and you can do one" when I take the shit back cos it doesn't work or isn't the size they said it should be.
Do yourselves a favour people, shop elsewhere, anywhere else, we'll all live longer.
The sooner this scumbucket goes bust the better for all concerned.

Could not agree more.

I have also vowed never to darken their door again. They once told me to write to the manufacturer when I returned a faulty item. I eventually 'won' my money back by standing my ground and basically causing a scene in their shop. Weeks later I heard a savvy woman doing exactly the same when she eloquently argued that her contract was with them - the shop where she bought the item and it was the shop's contract with the manufacturer to sort out.

Years later I retried them when purchasing a chromebook advertised at a good price. A member of staff told me that they only had one ready for sale, but it would cost more as their engineers had painstakingly set it up. I told them that everything I'd read suggested that a chromebook was ready to go when you opened the lid - the reason I was interested. The staff member - who incidentally was now backed by two others - told me I that I'd have to be very computer literate to get a chromebook up and running on my own. Fortunately I trusted my instincts and walked. The chromebook I later bought on line was indeed as simple as advertised to set up.

I can only conclude that their staff are trained to lie and evade the law.

Middle aged/ elderly people who still haven't worked out that modern phones have a silent/ vibrate function meaning fellow train passengers need not be subject to the increasingly irritating message alerts during particularly rampant text rallies about "putting the sprouts on" or "picking up pile cream" or whatever such nonsense it is people of that age have to talk about.

Another key example of why those over 40 should not be afforded access to technology.

I am over 70 so shall I just top myself now?, will you be happy with that, being that I am not allowed access to technology, where does it end, Mobiles, computers (how will I keep up with Charlton match day scores?), TV, Bluetooth, perhaps you will tell me what I am allowed, thank you

Lighten up Gramps it was a joke.
