Ok Argos the shop that everyone has a joke about and talks as if it has the plague.
Then go and shop there.
They come in wearing long raincoats , hoodies , high collars, balaclava, to hide from being noticed.
Which works until you look down at the shoes
and say " Hi Mum see youre out shopping then".
Ok back to the serious stuff.
Once in if you havent an item in mind you serach for an empty space on the catalogue shelf,,
and having found one proceed to look in the index of the extremely large catalogue,
of which you have gone to the back of , only to find it's in the front.
Let me see now I want an MP3 player. Arhh there it is on
Page 59 / 102 / 450 / 451 / 557 Fantastic i don't have enough spare fingers to bookmark the pages .
Once the item is found and chosen you check in the little blue machine thingy, by tapping in the 3 and 4 digit code and then it tells you ( Sorry None in stock )
Great try again. lets try that one,
The one I didnt really want and it's dearer, but hey its MP3.
Good ok,,, that one they have, Now get your little free blue pen.
( free to use not take home)
Scribble in the code and how many you want .
( dont get the 3 and 4 digit code in the how many box,,,
it will cost you a fortune )
Now take said piece of paper and totter along through the maze of metal bars until you reach a till.
Upon being summond , present said piece of paper , pay money and then recieve another piece of paper.
You are then directed to sit on a row of hard back seats like you are waiting for a bus
Watching a TV until your number pops up,
A bit like watching the Lottery on a Saturday,
But all you win is what you paid for.
Suddenly up pops your number .
and presenting your new piece of paper they stamp it and return it to you as a memento of your trip
Along with the Mp3 player and a bag you can get all of the days shopping in.
Simple.
Must admit I juist love it.
A little update.
Just been in and bought a Gordon Ramsey Slow Cooker/Tagine.
I have this horrible feeling if I don't use it correctly
It's going to start swearing at me. read more
