Tell him to watch the paths in the mornings.

They can be as slippery as a laminate floor at this time of year.  eyes:

Nope ~ I've been in and out of the house all day. Using Firefox as normal so am unaffected by the M/Soft Explorer. May have to go out again later.

 rubschin:

Presumably if the others were gubbed, they wouldn't be able to post that they are OK, but the lack of posting doesn't mean they aren't?

Such a conundrum, perhaps a little nap............................

Spotted youths with wide smirks, managers who look like they might be old enough to vote, crowds of elderly people wandering around looking dazed ~ that the place?

Oh I almost forgot ~ Staff recognisable from the appalling stench of cheap aftershave that precedes them and lingers on everything they touch ~ even your change and particularly the box they handed you with your purchase in it.

Wouldn't be seen dead in the place.

I did warn you.

To a 'T'...

Enter PC World with my on-line receipt...
Go up to the 'Order on line and collect desk'
Woman on 'Order on line and collect desk' wanders off with a disinterested look
Wait...
After several minutes the security bloke asks if he can help
(resist sarcastic comment)
Hand over on line receipt thingy
Ah yes, here it is here (hands over small 'Dell' box)
No it isn't... a) it is red and I ordered blue... b) there is never a 19" monitor in that box
(Lots of staff scuttling around)
Eventually they find the right three boxes
Spotty youth "You know there isn't any virus protection wiv this doncha"
Yes, I do know that and I don't want any
Spotty youth "You know there isn't any warranty wiv this doncha"
What, not even a manufactures warranty?
Spotty youth "um..... yes but no insurance"
I don't want it
Spotty youth "An this display is fragile like"
I don't want it (glares)
Spotty youth then tries to find the order on the computer but can't...
Spotty youth #2 "search on the user name"
Time passes slowly but they can't find it...
Spotty youth "You'll have to give me your details again"
Eventually all is completed and I just have to enter my PIN but Lo! They've charged me 99p too much!
Spotty youth starts all over again
Enter PIN then handed boxes which have to be 'checked-out' by the security guard who is sitting two meters away...

Well, that saved a lot of time then...  noooo:

However, it was worth it just to see the look on spotty youths face when he realised what a bollocking he was going to get for not selling overpriced virus software or insurance!  point:

 lol:

What I love is the way they all stink of Lynx ~ as if they have bathed in it. Took the THW in there once, just to find out if what the boys obviously believed from the adverts for Lynx was true. She turned a sort of greenish colour and asked me what I thought they cleaned the place with that could cause such a stench  lol:


Ah to be young again ~ in our youth is was carbolic soap for weekdays and Lifeboy on Saturday before you went to the dance. Progressed onto Old Spice but soon learned better.
