I purchased one of those 16ltr oil drain pans on-line from machine mart using their click & collect service. managed to print the receipt off then my internet service went hay-wire. I went through the next day to collect only to be told that I wasn't on their system & would not be until mid week next week. 4-5 working days. they had them in stock though my receipt was no good . I have to wait until mine with their paper work comes onto their system. or buy it again . I was fuming , its a 60 mile round trip for me. ( I was going shopping in Leeds so journey not in vain.) its about time they got updated & be able to check stock in store then collect

I find Machine Mart a bloody nuisance to deal with, as anything bought in store has to be returned to store if it breaks. Its about a 90 mile round trip.
Their mail order postage charges are a joke.
Shame, as their aftersales phone support provided by the 2 old duffers in Nottingham is very good.

You want to go into the nottingham store, they still use VT100 terminals !

Luckily Cardiff isn't too far away. and they are always really helpful including carrying stuff across the road to my car.

In the metropolis of Barnsley we have a machine mart, a screwfix, a toolstation and a halfords all with 10 minutes. It's your fault for being bumpkins. :P
Bumpkin: A socially awkward person from the countryside. ;D

No chance of the office plebs browsing for porn and infecting the company network with malware, then :y

Yep, VT100 porn was somewhat disappointing. Just had to play "snake" for amusement back then. ::)

Despite the screen burn and the need to give them an occasional smack :y

Were you allowed to play with your snake at work back then? Did the EU stop it? Another reason I'm glad we're leaving. :y
