    Currys: Just say no.
    There are two types of people in the world: Those that can extrapolate information.
  • They wouldn't price match a Smart TV on Amazon. They said that Amazon were not the seller. Their Price Match promise only refers to online sales. 
    I wanted to buy it from Currys because it would arrive much earlier.
    Purchased from Amazon instead.
    Price Match lie.

    Never shop in Curry's - can't be bothered with the extended warranty spiel.  When they finally accept that no means no, they look at you as though you have ripped the bread out of their children's mouths.

    The 1st word in the thread title is "Currys"; that about covers it.

    You're replying to a 6 year old thread.
    Rather than hijack someone else's, very old, thread better to start your own.

    And you've responded to the necro-thread to lecture him.
    Actually, it shows that 6 years on and the vendor is still behaving the same.
    Which is quite relevant.
