Temperatures are high and my old auntie is perspiring,no problem i thought,I'll go and buy a fan. I tried Argos ,no we aint got em,our summer catalogue ran out on july25 and we dont have fans in the winter catalogue.

B & Q ,no ,theres no demand for them !!,the nice man said,tongue in cheek as i sweltered at close on 30 degrees on saturday!!

Comet-no

Currys-no

Powehouse-no

Miller Brothers-no

Maplins-no

Staples office superstore-no

Viking direct (office supplies by mail order) -no,next supplies due late september.....

If anyone knows where a pedestal type fan or similar can be had in Stockport or Manchester please let me know as according to the world of Retail,Winter has officially arrived!!!

Buy a fan heater - most of them also have a 'cold air' position on their switches.
