However, i have been approached by the staff before asking if i needed anything...but given that i knew you and what you had told me about them i politely said no and they totted off back into the corner!

I hate PC world with a passion, any dealings i have had with them has been completely negative. They pick the laziest job shy gits to work there... I don't think i have ever been approached by a sales person and i swear that they deliberately 'pretend' to look busy in order to avoid giving 'assistance'... maybe this is because they really don't have a clue! I do have a story however. I went into Currys in Liffey Valley... i was getting an external HD for work so when i asked for a VAT receipt he needed the address - i told him Fonthill Business Park... he replied can you spell that (this was an Irish guy in his 20's), bearing in mind that Liffey Valley is off the Fonthill Road, i thought it odd but spelt it nonetheless.. F..O..N..T..H..I..L..L... he wrote down, then stopped and looked at me... i looked back.. a few seconds of uncomfortable silence... then he uttered the immortal words .. eh Business.. looking at me with confused and distressed eyes... I can't remember my actual response but i think it was something along the lines 'You're shitting me'... them slowly spelt out B..U..S.. I..N..E..S..S. I haven't returned since that visit.
