Leicester argos had signs pinned to the self service machines to advise any reservations for chocolate oranges were cancelled and these were not available due to a 'technical' error.

Heh. Who'd have thought some innocent chocolate Oranges would be the baine of Argos's senior management? Complaints, Arguments, Stress, Lies, Cover ups, Technical failures, Rationing. God help the Argos bunch over Easter.

And good on you mate. Providing it wasn't wasted (when there are others in need) I have no issues at all!!

What I have learnt:

Calling the stores closest to you and finding out what they have is the best option.

Online, Neath store read as having three oranges when in fact it had seven. Morfa store read as having none when in fact it had a large number (I learnt from being in the Fforestfach store) and they were all on BOGOF. That was today at four, but Morfa had also run out by then anyhow. Ah well, got my seven. And had a bit of a treaure hunt when out retail parking with The Folks.

Ok it might have been the bargain of December and my good intentions of saving them for the nephews and nieces went out of the window when i got home:EasterBun but god did i regret eating far too many of them at 3 am this morning when i woke my OH up moaning thinking i was having a heart attack. He wasnt up for giving me tlc and sympathy and chucked a packet of tums at me telling me it was my own fault for being a pig and it was indigestion!
Mine are being donated to friends and family asap!!
