    lol i cant get over ow many overstickers there are for this catalogue already! ive only worked one day since the new cats been out so havent had time to notice too many mistakes. the main things i can think of are 720 0432 (pg 1136) comes up on the till as a grass trimmer but it is in fact the hedge trimmer it shows in the cat. and the basic modular package (pg 215 nos 5 6 7) which always worked on the tills in the old catalogue doesnt work anymore and has to be overridden to get the deal price

    the only other thing i can think of is in the clearance leaflet not the catalogue, which is the deal on the ds micros or whatever theyre called for 69.95 but again the deal doesnt work on the tills and has to be overridden

    btw.. am i the only sad person who has read it page by page twice by the end of friday??

    This darts cabinet 24.99 here

    and £29.99 in the catalogue. Not advertised as special offer so must be a misprint in the catalogue. ;)
    ;)
  • apparently 405/3314 has a wrong price, advertised as £10 dearer on instore POS?

    well when you bear in mind that the buyers are currently sourcing products for cat 68/69/70... and we're on cat 66..a lot can change in that length of time. whilst the sheer number of typos is shameful, the number of bulletins is small fish compared to what it could be.
