Of course

Nothing better to lubricate the gears when making deals than to dangle the carrot giving the impression that your thinking about buying 50 new top of the line PCs off them

 

That could become quite irritating VERY quickly.

We watch with great anticipation..........(note to self should really go out and get a life )

 

The original and best

 

Did this saga put anyone off buying anything from Currys, Dixons or PCWorld in the Sales?

 

With the Christmas period and New Year when is response day for Currys Pete?

 

7th of January 2008

Thats what the Court papers say.

 

They had better respond to the court soon ......

4 days left

To Currys who are reading this, get your useless Corporate Customer Service fingers out and lets go to Court

This is the 666th reply to the thread - the devil has come for his pound of flesh

 

I'd be interested to see a video of the flashing pixel with something other than a static black background behind it, even something with a dark background where the pixel is but other motion in the frame. I'm curious to see in that situation how noticeable the flashing pixel really is.

 

Thats a good point and something that will be done for the judge, thanks for that suggestion. It is actually more annoying with other motion on the screen as it draws the eye towards it - good video to capture

The judge will want to see it with a picture on the screen, ie. how it would be viewed in normal circumstances. He/She also needs to see how it flashes - everyone who have seen it cannot believe Currys position.

Even their own 'Tech Guys' said that they couln't live with it, but must work to 'policy' ....... can't wait to see Currys faces when that evidence is produced in Court

 

Been missing this, so I'm glad to see we are nowhere near the end yet. Looking forward to Easter now - no eggs, just pixels!

 

The outcome of the Court case should be very interesting.

 

Pete will you be turning up in court under another assumed name too? I've lost count of all of your aliases on SN. Suspect at least half the posts on this thread are just you chatting to yourself under your various guises

 

The claim has gone in as The Scarlet Pimpernel

 

Someone with time on their hands could out you now Pierre.....

 

BBC NEWS | Business | Currys owner issues profit alert

 

Blamed on a "dip in consumer spending". No **** sherlock I wonder how much is down to the general consumer spending trend though. After all, when sales are going up, it's due to "a good business model" etc. rather than a general increase in "consumer spending". i.e. when sales are up it's due to their brilliance, when sales are down it's due to a dip in "consumer spending".

Or is it due to the pslewis effect

How have other electrical stores been getting on?

 

Wonder what the next Lewis alias will be

 

Well did there time run out ??

 

Looks like today is the day where some update should be forthcoming.

 

I wish you the very best of luck.

They have asked for a 'stay' of 14 more days to prepare a defence.

"Yes, there is a fault, no we will not fix it" Thats their defence?

 

and was it granted?


expect a barrister or QC to pop up at the next one.

i think your gonna get an example made of




mart

 

I'm confused, who's taking Curry's to court now over a dodgy telly? I thought it was PSLewis but now it seems to be this FriarTook character

 

Is their any update from the Old Bailey on how the big trial is going or will i just have to wait for sky news later ?

 

 

Would be a damned good Barrister or QC to convert a TV with a fault into one without a fault

They are going to need God on their side to win this one!

 

Oh good, its still on-going. This is far better than Corrie!

 

Their defence needs to be filed before 21st January 2008.

What possible, viable, defence can there possibly be for not repairing a faulty TV in line with Consumer Law, the 12 Month Guarantee and Good Customer Service?

They will have a standard defence which may have worked in the past, no doubt - but, I cannot think of one?

Consumers are very well protected in this country against this kind of thing - if only all consumers realised it and acted accordingly, the likes of DSG would be brought to its knees or it would have to treat Customers like John Lewis, Waitrose and Argos do!

 

Not bad going to get a comment like this when it involves no sex, drugs, violence or drink!

 

But it DOES involve a Flashing Pixie ..................
