Sounds exactly like the "Sony Centre" malarkey that caught
me out a
while back...

You might reasonably think (mightn't you), that the Sony Centre stores,
- you know, the ones with "SONY" written all over them in big
letters, -
in the trademarked SONY logo style, the ones that sell nothing except
SONY kit, - are in some way related to SONY?...

Oh no, Jim-feller-me-lad, - nothing to do with us.... they are entirely
independent retailers not affiliated with SONY in any way - and in fact
not even affiliated with EACH OTHER in any way, - you can't buy
something at one store, and expect to return it to a different store -
except by the grace & favour of the 2nd stores' manager...

Did I hear someone at the back say "Misleading"???
