Be reasonable and charming, ask if they want to replace it, they are welcome to take away the old one, install the right one, and retune/set it up again for you. You will be in for their engineer any evening this week, from 6-9pm although a call to let you know which night would be thoughtful. But you've had an idea - perhaps you can save the hassle and everyone saves face - how about you split the difference? Any sane manager would shake on that.

Comet owner boosted by closure rumours

Kesa Electricals – the owner of Comet – has seen its shares jump almost 8 per cent today, on rumours that it may close the UK chain Comet and return to its roots in France.

Kesa said last week that UK trading had been poor, [1] while French revenue, through the Darty chain, was up 5 per cent despite the downturn. Group like-for-like sales were down 15.2 per cent on the year.

The retailer said it would cut 150 jobs and close up to 10 stores to reduce costs.

The news follows an analyst report on Dixons from Morgan Stanley [2] which noted that its annual rent bill was three times its annual underlying profit. Morgan Stanley suggested the retailer close the UK business and concentrating on its Scandinavian business. ®

Farewell Comet, you was the Jimmy Saville of retailing. Adding class and colour to our retail parks. Comet was a heavenly temple for worshippers of cheap electrotrickery.

Let us pray there is enough slack in the cable to keep Currys running.

"don't want something slightly worse" but that what you have paid for - if you want to keep the one you have then pay the difference, you would be shouting from the roof tops if they had over charge you £100.00
