Dual fuel cooker - £59.96 - can understand that
Washer, Dryer or washer/dryer - £8.96 - sounds like a bargain

I can understand that charge TBH, it would I assume include setting up all the channels, DVD, video, etc etc although not really that complex stupid people do exist

Youd also be suprised at how many pay the surcharge, then when the tv turns up they happen to mention to the delivery man/men that the sky should be here later too, then the delivery man/men 'do one' saying the sky bloke will set everything up

So its cheaper to have a dual fuelcooker fitted rather than a SINGLE fuel???

If the plasma cost includes hanging it on the wall it aint too bad really. It probably doesnt and means that it is all connected via RF- just like in their shops - awful!!!

If it includes hanging then it is a good deal. If it doesn't - wtf do they do?

I bought my 50" plasma a good few years ago and I think then it was £50 setup ??? But when you consider the weight of the thing ??? How the hell could an elderly person pick up the tv and place it on their own TV stand??? Plus if you paid for it you would abuse the setup and if there was even the slightest of problems you know you would have them back

Some people do worry about the setting up and willing to pay.

rtfm or pay £50? Simple choice really

Personally, I do neither as I love to sit there cursing at the things whilst trying to get them to work (typical bloke)

If you read the manual, it is never that difficult to do anyway.
