of, off & f'off...
not quite an expensive mistake; tho it would of been if i was as daft as the staffer that served me in a certain west london (mind your..) p n q's whorehouse today.

on wondering round looking at stuff to make some shelfing units (raw wood beams) for a garage; we happened to notice some nice metal units apparently reduced as damaged stock from £35 to £10.. Turned out in classic lazyarse fashion that the price labels where for a different item.. charming.

okay, so they were still damaged stock & a random member of staff was asked to find out what the price would be.. so off he goes and come back saying 10% ..so thats £3.50 ? .."yes". a little suspecting of the rather good bargain we inquire again - 'so all we'll pay is £3.50 ?' ..."yes". ..hmm, so we load up the trolley with another three units and proceed to the tills.

whereupon we end up in a huge (but somewhat polite) argument with the manager, who insisted he'd advised the staffa to -reduce- the item by 10% off ..and not to 10% -of- the price. ..the prick whod told us so, even sided with the managers idea of events. showed the guy up something good infront of the manager & a slew of onlookers... so it was worth the greif in the end.. pricks !

hmm, the last rosey memory i had of visiting one of their stores; involved geting so pissed off with some incompetent bitches inability to tell the difference between hammer & smooth finish paint; that she would of ended up with a new suppository.. if i was anymore of a nut-job..

in the words of jack dee.. 'they need a bloody good decking..'
