This morning i took delivery of a shiny new samsung tv only to discover it had a scratch on the bottom panel. How pissed off was I.Not for long though i got on to customer services and after learning that the model i chose was out of stock i was offered a refund or replacement tv of the same value . when i saw fuck all in the same price range i got on to a supervisor and she said she couldnt reduce the price of any new tv's on the website but she could knock some off my tv if i kept it. Having nearly bit her head off for suggesting such a scurrilous outcome i just tentatively asked what figure she had in mind (the fact that she was a jock didnt fill me with much hope) i was expecting an offer of about £50 - £75 tops and for a ton i would have got the black touch-up pens out and lived with said scratch.
She came back with an offer of a £200 reduction :wow:
Oh i dont know says i , is that the best you can do !!! I shall just speak to my wife (already out working the poor sap) ..... well ok then i say trying hard to hide my absolute delight.
Top and bottom is that i now have a brand spanking new samsung tv for £149 smackeroos. Cushdy.
Ha ha , quality RJ , unfortunately i read this post too late, in fact it was quite a while after I , in an unguarded drunken moment , invited them for xmas AT OUR HOUSE .
Oh Christ on a bike ,what have i done ?
While some of you are out enjoying yourselves on xmas do's etc , spare a thought for me as tonight i must endure a chinese meal with my inlaws
Think i might take a book.
I just caught a glance of your avator and remembered that my mother in law is on the boat over here tomorrow , so any thoughts of punishment for said step child are now on hold as she is the apple of the old trouts eye.
