40 minutes. 40 sodding minutes I was stood there, looking for some purple shirted goon to notice the affluent young man ready to spend the cashmonies. I'd try to grab one, and from the basic grunting, ooking and eeking of their primitive tongue, deduced they couldn't possibly serve me, because they were going on their lunch. One bloke on the floor throughout, desperately trying to sell some cable or other to a baffled pair of old biddies.
So I nicked off back to work, having noted the set model, and ordered it off Amamazon. For around £200 less. And free delivery.
