Now I remember why I despise 'main' electrical retailers.
Currys, Dixons and their ilk.

Just been on a shopping trip to buy a DAB clock radio.

Now is it unreasonable for me to assume that because 'they' charge a premium for their products, and their 'shopping experience' to want them to have _some idea_ of what it is I'm after?

Specifically, the difference between Digital Audio Broadcast and PLL Digital tuning. I mean, I know they both have the word Digital in there, but there's really an _awful_ lot of difference.

Trying to get me to buy and extended warranty too, was really quite irritating. I don't really need a £40 warranty, on a £70 bit of kit. Especially when if it breaks in under 3 years, I'll be returning it as 'Not Fit for Purpose' (A statutory right in the UK) anyway.

I also have a danger survey on The Register that needs filling out.
You can find it here

And here's a meme, just because it's almost ironic...

Angel
You are an angel. You walk away. You are a
nonviolent person, and nothing can ever get you
mad, let alone send you into the howling rage
some people enter when they've been insulted.
Why did you even take this quiz?
