    Maplin Rant

    It's like I imagine the State run shops in the Eastern Bloc were - but with items in stock. Everyone is far too busy without pesky customers coming in trying to buy stuff. Or maybe it's because I'm in the South.

    I didn't realise they had Maplin in the south.
    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

          Somehow "Hello Campers" comes to mind. But I could be thinking of something else.

          Hidi-Hi!!!

          Maplins is a decent store, just the staff are fairly crap.
          If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.

            i.e. not decent then - I want the whole package - as in someone available to sell me something in under 4 hours and without having to visit 65 different counters on 7 floors to get my paperwork stamped.

              Their delivery service is pretty good - I've used that before - saves having to deal with the numpties in store.

                All well and good but I tend to be away from home a lot - although I suppose I did get my new phone delivered to my hotel.

                I wish they would make an effort if they are going to bother having shops at all - I really don't like having to go to Dixons instead - they really are scum.

                  Currys .digital

                  I don't like Curry's that much. Only ever go in there to get some batteries or some headphones in a hurry.
