    Anyone got any model numbers for any of these items.

    My store had what I believe to be the only McCulloch Petrol Hedge Trimmer that Focus sell, the Virginia MH542P, reduced from £119.99 but only to £80.39

    They did check with other local(ish) stores without success.
    However they did find a petrol hedge trimmer at one of them for £29.99, but they said it was a Black&Decker reduced from £50

    I had lots of problems checking out. The barcode was invalid and they had to delve deep to find a short code to enter into the till. It came up as £70 reduced from £99 (I think) and had to be manually dropped to £30. A "when its gone its gone" sticker was the only indication of the £30 price.

    But what exactly is it ?

    I'm not necessarily looking for barcodes or Focus product numbers, but knowing that it is made by XYZ and is a model ABC-123 might help in locating one.

    So sad!!! Got to my local store, having been told one put by, only to find it was not on offer (even thought they said it was when I called) and they wanted to charge me £119, not likely!!! So no hedge trimmer for me.
    Always on the hunt for a bargain

    I think we talk at cross purposes - your hedge trimmer = my strimmer (but the manual was still useful).
