    Same here. What a load of absolute twaddle. I presume the live stock count was totally inaccurate then? That they chose to promote something they had low stocks of? I also presume the batteries won't magically reappear on the site before too long.

    Using the old - no stock get out of jail free card. Why not be honest and say "Sorry, we f***ed up". Maggots.

    You win some (kodak), you lose some - I can live with that, but don't like porkies.

    Was likely to be a mistake (strange it was also a mistake in the email?) but you never know with some places like aria doing things for 1p legitimately.

    ...when they think nobody is looking. We all know they have a lot to shift. I was thinking of replying to say "Neither, I'll just wait for more stock thanks :) "

    Calm down you lot - dry cells are a false economy and an environmental nightmare. Be sensible MoneySavers, and buy recharageables - you know it makes sense. ;)
    Time is an illusion - lunch time doubly so.
