[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 476959, member: 6969"] Imho a lot of shops on the high street deserve to die. Some will know we are building a new house. Earlier in the year we went off to town to shop for kitchen appliances. On our shopping list was a Fridge / Freezer, A built in oven and matching built in microwave. A built in dishwasher. An island cooker hood, and a gas hob. We went to the one and only white goods shop left in town, Curry's / pc world. Being the only shop in town, you would think they were in a fantastic position to have a good stock, helpful staff and be able to offer us a good package for all our stuff. I have not seen such a tatty run down showroom for a long time. They did not have all the applaices we wanted, let alone several makes to choose from, e.g no built in microwaves, no island cooker hoods, no gas hobs. The FF we had seen previously that we liked we noted was now on "sale" for £50 MORE than it was marked as normal price 4 weeks ago. A discussion with the manager and they would not budge. So we left in disgust. Bought the FF for £100 less from AO.COM including delivery. All the other white goods came from Howdens with the rest of the kitchen. It was just a shame we had to choose the appliances from a cataloge rather than seeing them in the flesh in a showroom. If that is the best that Curry's can muster when they are the only white goods shop left in town, then they deserve to go to the wall, the sooner the better. For things like that, I would far rather see the stuff I am buying in the flesh, but if a shop cannot even offer that function, then it has no purpose any more. [/QUOTE]
