Sorry Sharps, not the food but the shop

I went into the Ormskirk branch on Thursday for a new indoor aerial as the lloytron we had just packed in. The salesman was very good going through their range explaining the advantages of the more costly ones in comparison to the cheap brands. The one he was pushing my way cost nearly £40 which I thought was quite dear considering it was to replace a much cheaper model from another store. He then said hold on a minute, went into the back of the shop and came out with what he called 'a managers special' namely a £40 aerial that had been returned, he wanted £25 for it so I thought deal. Got the thing home only to find it was knackered, didn't even light up when plugged in and the power signal switch was jammed.

Friday I returned to Curry's with the faulty load of crap in my hand and explained it should never have been offered for sake. The assistant, clearly unimpressed offered me a refund but also asked if I would consider another product. Having traveled to Ormskirk I thought have a look as we still needed the aerial. I was shown another version by the same maker, the salesman assuring me it would pick up any free view TV going. When I arrived home I went upstairs, fitted it, switched on, started down loading channels only to find that nothing was received. I tried putting the aerial in different positions, stood on one leg whilst perched on the bloody window sill, still nothing.

At dinner time I returned to Curry's with the useless load of crap. I was greeted by yet another salesperson 'Hello Sir, are you returning something' controlling my explosive temper by talking through clenched teeth I explained that the bloody aerial could only pick up dust in my house otherwise it was a total complete and utter piece of dog [Poor language removed]! Some what taken aback by my attitude the assistant offered me a full refund, when doing so he said would you like another aerial Sir, offering me this £40 item identical to the model already returned. I have this vision haunting me as I write of a guy attempting to fit a TV aerial in his anus..........

An hour or so ago I went to Crays, a local store and purchased yet another aerial. I was told by the assistant that he couldn't guarantee it working properly but I could bring it back if it didn't, it cost £20. I got home fitted it and yes, it gets every free view channel under the sun

The moral of this story has to be screw the big stores as they will screw you, the little guy is best by far
 


My wife brought a printer from Currys before Christmas, followed all the instructions to the letter, but when it came to putting in the paper just could not do it.

It's an Epson XP (Long number) black in color, with a side viewing window, and opening trays top and bottom, and has had mixed reviews.

I just can't get the paper to go in the top, was purchased at 69.99 but usual price was around 120, it was on special offer.

anyone who has this printer, or one with a top loading paper, i.e. not a forward thrust tray, I would be interested to hear.

It's a damn nuisance I can tell you, it just won't accept the paper, print error, I will get back to this another time.
