The effect of uk.d-i-y posters

The stores are unprofitable High St shops. they are to concentrate on the web and sheds.

What, Maxie? I always wondered WTF that was all about but couldn't be arsed to ask because it all seemed too complicated.

Mr Pole,

F****it, when did I say you were Maxie? Clean your fat flabby ears out.

Funnily enough, I walked back inafter the 28 days dixons desi=gnated 'acceptable efforts tro repair' and a cowering saleman handded me a brand new unit.

I know its not mine, because I had replaced teh mains plug :-)

He also admitted that they had 'accidentally' retained my original purchase receipt.

That was Monday. on Tusedasy I got a cryptic message from some repair center saying they had my parts from Sony and my machine would be returned to me shortly.

What should I do if the repair center ships my original machine back to me direct?

I obviously cannot afford to spend one more penny on informing Dixons, or taking it back...:-)

On topic, yes, I think its teh death knell for most high street outlts of anything.

Judging by the ferocious pedestrianisation of most towns, the car restriction and the ensuing traffc choos and congestion that results from ever more traffic calming and safety mesaures, coupled with teh rise in national obesity, no one will actually be able to carry anything larger than a pot noodle or Caffe Latte from any high street shop to the park and ride bus servcce.

Leaving the town center free for what its citizens want. Beggars, CD Mobile phone and shoes shops, and as an arena for after binge rioting and general mayhem.

I have coined a phrase for those that think this is Progress. UTHAMNILICs.

It stands for 'Used to have a mind, now I live in Cambridge', but the C could stand for Cities just as easily.

Keep it, or at least just wing it and see what comes of the situation. I've got two of quite a few items because of this sort of thing, most impressive being two garden sheds! If you keep quiet you might get away with it!

Yep, thanks Dell for the spare £3k DLT drive

That could help, I'll try it when I go offline tonight ;-)

That is another reason for allowing Suffolk to flood.

Actually, Eliza, put this in your flash ram and remember it. Its not suffolk that is flood prone. By an large its parts of norfolk linconshire and cambridge.

And essex.

My present house is almost 300 foot above sea level, compared to the cambridgeshire cottage I had at 2 foot below sea level...

Complex things loke glaciation and terminal moraines that aren't part of your programming would have allowed you to converse knowledgeably on te suffolk topology.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ If it behaves like a moron, walks like a moron and quacks like a moron, it probably IS a moron.

Suffolk should flooded anyway.

Well it won't be, not wihout pretty much 75% of southern england going with it.

Try identoifying teh 300' contur and remvng all the country below it.

Thats London and most of the hhome countries gone for a start.
