To be honest, the only benefit with the likes of Comet, currys and PC World is if you want something right now and are prepared to pay for it! None of them give the customer any useful product information. None of them seem interested in giveing a good deal either and customer service is pretty poor. I went to comet a bit ago to buy a coffee machine. It was advertised for £70 and showed as being in stock. I got to the store, because I wanted to see the real thing to make sure that it looked ok etc but there were none on display. There was nobody around and I had to go and hunt for one of their staff. I was told that the website was wrong and that they were not going to get anymore in and if I wanted they could arrange to have one sent over from another store but it would take a week - how is it trasported? Carrier slug? I went in 2 days later and there it was but now at £90. All they seem interested in is selling their expensive extended warranties.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

their analysts worked out that people would simply give up and go and buy another product or do without.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

I must admit I didn't need any 'expertise' as I do thorough research and they were all special offers, as is every single thing I buy these days!Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment
