Would the one with a lot of staff changes be a large national one with many branches and and anagram of EFC? ?:| I know they have had been having staff changes round this side if the world? :|
No, Specs, just a small independant, feeling the pinch..

:D

 
I use a small independent.

The service is great, they even engraved a shower switch while I waited last week (10 mins).

Prices are almost always better than most, they are struggling to beat MK prices with B&Q at the moment.

The staff have been the same for years and they even do free pies on a Friday Applaud Smiley

 
I have 4 accounts and only use the independent on a weekly baisis

No computers there (so it takes half the time to get 1 item). They write the items on the sheet and total it at the end os the week. Then it's 1 cheque per week

Ross Elec (Neweys) called last week to see if they could do anything for me.

They are quiet

If you weren`t so fat away, I`d come up there.

Service at my local TLC is getting abysmal !!!

Lask week, I picked up a heating timeswitch, and when opened at the customers, IN FRONT OF THE CUSTOMER, it turns out to be a used, faulty, mangled bit of kit!!!

Did I go ballistic with the manager? No. He checked, and it had not been returned there. It had come in from another brach as new. Head office had a rather nasty email. 13 years I`ve been going there, and standards are getting bad. :(

 
I'd go for the free pies :)

SF opened a trade counter near me (well 45 miles away) and I went on their opening w/e they had coffee and cake. No more. :(

We've got a credit crunch on at the moment, we don't need a pie-crunch as well!

The government will have to give billions of Pukka-Pies to the wholesalers to keep them in buisness!
