Not even that good at getting right stock let alone running a landline business.:D

    It is funny that manufacturers and dealers alike will slag off grey foreign imports ....... when someone else is doing it :rotfl:
  • I dont think that its the companies fault that the manufacterer sent the wrong mains charger do you? Slagging off their landline phone company in the process seems a little pathetic!

    I notice that from your second post that you are in fact an employee of
    the Carphone Warehouse. :confused:

    The manufacturer supplied the correct mains charger, for the country. CPW was just sloppy in not ensuring they specified UK chargers when they bought them in the other country. :)

    LMAO - well at least they were upfront about where they work. Talking third person as if they weren't an employee would be so far past pathetic - some would say deceiving!

    Oh wait, that's what they did! SHAME ON THEM!
