Whilst i totally agree in law what your saying must be true, in practise.. it gets to the point, you need to threaten a slot on 60 minutes to get any action !

That does it for me - I'm just off to buy a new digital camcorder from Curry's - they have some excellent deals at the moment! Took my microwave back after 11 months as it was making a weird noise - they just replaced it there and then. I wonder if Curry's want to expand to Aus??

No.

Uk pc's are designed for europe. They have a uk time clock built in, and this doesnt work in australia. There are also keyboard issues, with pound and dollar signs.

I would searchfor a thread on google referring ppl who have issues with UK pc's and to sell them before they move to australia.
