>>Damn, Damn, Damn :-((

>>I hate loyalty cards,
>>I always forget to take it with me when I go, if fact I dont even
know
>>where it is.
>>My wallet doesnt have space for 14 trillion little plastic cards so
I cant
>>carry them all (and NO - it isnt because its full of money). What
really
>>gets up my nose is the fuss they make at the checkout when you have
dashed
>>it there to get something you urgently need and waste even more of
my
>>already scarce time convincing me that I am seriously missing out
by not
>>having that 4 pence added. I would rather the item cost 4p less in
the
>>first place and I could just nip in and out of the store with no
hassle.
>>
>>I also hate the fact that all stores now try and sell everything
rather
>>than there being specialist shops dedicated to a particular range
of
>>products.
>>
>>In my home town we used to have 3 specialist record shops where you
could
>>by almost any record "off the shelf". Then everyone
started selling CD's,
>>putting the specialist shops out of business, so now you can go
into
almost
>>any shop in town and buy a CD as long as its in the Top 20 :-((
>>
>>Last Christmas I went into WH Smith and they had more CD's than me
by
>>quantity (ie 50 of each title in the top 20 plus a handful of other
popular
>>artists) but I probably had as many, if not more, different titles
than
>>they did.
>>
>>The dedicated hardware shops have gone to be replaced by the DIY
>>superstores, again with lots of stock, but that little used bit of
>>ironmongery that is needed worth about 20p will either be non
existsnt or
>>sold in a little plastic bag for about 2 quid.
>>
>>Still....it is good to see X10 spreading. It might help the prices
to fall
>>to more realistic levels, but lets hope they stock more than 3 or 4
types
>>of modules. We want the whole range of stuff they have in the
States.
>>
>>There....got that of my chest, I'll get off my soapbox and I'LL GET
ME
COAT

of
