only to be told as we are in administration we have a sign saying can not refund oh she has not got one up here,
...
then came back and said i have just spoken to tony one of the administrators who has said under no circimstances to refund or replace the console

what i would like to know is what to do next i have a used psp that cost me £125 there was no sign saying no refunds as we are in administration and i dont want a refund anyway just a replacement:o

My local store has the signs up at the till "no refunds only exchanges" - its the first chance I've had to go as I worth Fri-Sun, and 75% of the stock has gone. You don't have the same rights now but you could go down and argue for a change. If you spend all day making a scene from 9am, occupying a till until you see a manager and then refusing to budge until you get a replacement.
The prob is, what happens if they have no stock?

on other matters...

I read in the paper that the british public are "enjoying" the recession! You get people who are "wondering who's next", which sounds morbid. I guess it won't be until a year or so if everything continues and unemployment rises that this might change. Today in Woollies when I was in about 4pm it was fairly busy - a couple of dozen people in with at least six queuing up at the tills. I know this time of year is usually their busy period, but it was fairly dead a month ago when I went past previously

Of course you have the same rights, if its damaged/faulty you are entitled to a refund, unless it was sold as faulty/damaged

Am I the only one who read the 'Halloways' post as Sarcastic? I think he is taking the **** out of Peterborough, Woolies probably hasn't even closed!

Read it again...

Either I am right or 'Halloway' has not written their response very aptly, but I really do think he/she was just saying Peterborough was boring!

I read it the same as you Leanne, tongue in cheek sarcasm.
We were in peterborough woolies on sunday and it was carp. No bargains at all to be had, just a few already over priced items with 10-20% off.

I also remember when that woolies used to be twice the size it is now, and had the big cafe upstairs. I think it still has a smaller cafe? But ever since they made it smaller it's always been really poor at displaying toys upstairs.

It was still open yesterday, didn't go in just drove past so don't know if there are any bargains to be had.

Actually I have nothing against Peterborough. When I used to live in Cambridge I'd often go shopping there. The cathedral is also well worth a look.
