And another winge while I'm at it. Local enourmous B&Q had a promotion on
Bosch accessories, buy 5 get 50% off.

Luvley jubbly I though, 5 blades for my PMF 180. Trouble is, they all had
to be the same and they only had 4 of any particular type. Looked every
time I went in over the next few weeks, never more than 4 of a kind.

Asked various assorted droids if I could buy 5 mixed and the answer was
that HQ had specifically forbidden managers to allow that.

Piggin scam if you ask me.



Remove the four and give to a mate for temporary keeping. They go and ask a
'droid if they have 1 in their warehouse part. QED


Or remove a couple and place in some other part of the shop tucked at
the back of something. Go back later and have the 4 off display plus you
cache of them making up the numbers.
