[QUOTE="phil d, post: 477027, member: 27126"] I went in there a couple of months ago, one of them was advising a bloke how to connect a new gas fire, no mention of gas regs, or ACOPS, or even of the need to test, he went all funny when I asked to see the manager. I love watching them advise a customer on buying a power drill, they always recommend the most expensive one, I then ask said customer what he's doing, "only need one to put a couple of shelves up mate, probably use it twice a year" is the usual reply, then I point out a basic hammer drill for about £20, "that's good enough for you mate" I reply, helpfully, then watch as their 'expert' walks off in a sulk! even better when you point out that the chrome sockets, he wants at £30 each can be had for only £15 at Toolstation, and they're the same make. Try it, it's hilarious. [/QUOTE]
