whay all the different fonts and sizes?"If you no longer go for a gap, you are no longer a racing driver" - Ayrton Senna0

Never mind that, i cant make sense of it? OP i suggest if you want watchdog (and us) to understand what the hell is going on, you reword it all in the default font, using commas and fullstops where necessary.
I couldt understand what was being sold for what. You mentioned £90, if thats what you paid then how is it a rip off? (considering the normal price is circa £115). It would be a simple case of incorrect description.Back by no demand whatsoever.0 -
It's easy to understand! The OP claims Argos are selling a cheaper version of the Navigon and describing it as the more expensive version. So if I go into Argos tomorrow and buy this cheap version and 'subsequently' discover it's the wrong one based on the description should I/can I insist it be replaced by the more expensive one they advertised? BTW Hudson are you now reduced to issuing the order :- If I helped click "Thanks". I thought you were better than that....are you really that desperate?0

You have a real cheek complaining about the OP's grammar given your own deficiences in that area!0 -

I found it difficult to read.

How much did you pay?
What specs did they advertise (were they the specs for the essential or easy variant)?
If your unhappy and got a lesser deal, get your refund and ask them to change it. Life's too short to be worrying about this stuff.
Making your original post all bold doesn't help either, the first part is understandable but the part to watchdog makes no sense.Back by no demand whatsoever.0 -
OP, you have given no indication that you have pointed out this error to Argos.
Was this purchase made in a store or online?
If in a store, have you spoken to anyone at that store and asked for their explanation?
What was their explanation?
If purchased online, could it just possibly be that whoever despatched the thing to you actually made a mistake and picked the wrong item in the warehouse?
Just a thought.
It might not be the massive confidence trick you seem to be implying.0 -

So you're ok with your own bad grammar and spelling but struggle with other peoples fonts and bold? I think we all understand (including you) what the OP is complaining about!0
