Well yes I'm still here despite being laid low by something nasty in early December and still I'm not right or back working but slowly getting better.
Anyway on to other things some catching up. Went into Cambridge, well Newmarket Road superstores to be honest, on Sunday 2nd Jan to buy three items, a vacuum cleaner, a very simple camera and an office chair. Research done before left stuff in stock according to web pages. With the vacuum its why we went there and not the usual supplier whose website said none in stock, shall come back to that later.
Into a well known electrical store with stores all over for the vacuum and simple camera to keep in my pocket for work. Finds camera and buys, should have listened for heavenly music as it all went downhill from there, finds the vacuum and tries to buy, you have two the webpage says. Off goes young lad, comes back sheepish look on face ten minutes later, ahem, webpage is not right we havn't got any, hmmnn.
So off to store two another national chain , look for office chair and find, but hang on its not got the adjustment suggested, ask manager, they used to have! And so we left, not impressed and with only one out of three items.
Back home, while I'm looking at the camera Elaine is phoning the Cambridge branch of usual shop where there web pages say nationally they have none, oh that model I will just check says the chap on the phone, we have four in the warehouse here. So one is bought and it arrived by post today, as did the almost identical office chair I found later on while surfing the web.
Is there a moral, dont buy anything!
