Radders, you need to show them a space docking video!

The trivial pursuit will be tame after that!!

Sales? Nope...... I find the people who hang around the shops from stupid o'clock in the morning insanely mad.

Never buy anything in the sales... clothes shops are the biggest culprits for putting stock out that aint seen a rail for 2 years previous.... sales are crap.

if the mrs likes to save money tell her she will save more if she stops shopping
a womens logic : she buys a Ł150 hand bag in the sales for Ł100 and she believes she has saved Ł50
Mans logic he believes she has wasted Ł100
he is right

halfords are the WORST for doing shite like that

offering a sale,,, putting the price up for a week before then lowering it in time, or selling stuff they NEVER sell for twice the price then lowering it to half the price as a sale to get people in

all bollox

there are certain things that they list as being higher in price in certain stores around the country

so they will say "higher price in at least 6 other stores"
