Unexplained attraction
For some weird reason (probably the colour scheme) I feel more comfortable in CFW shops than other more garish stores,
Given that, the sales force are usually seriously thick but that often comes with a box shifting operation with slim margins. Not much sign of the arts graduates who are allegedly selling fries in McDonald's.
My purchases won't keep them afloat, though. From memory it was a MiFi some years back when both phones couldn't get data service, and recently a £15 handset for minimum functionality voice and text.
Currys/PC World is now one of the very few places where you can see/touch/feel white goods and they usually have at least one competitive offer.
Also good for working out which laptop size and layout works for you, if this is your first laptop (took a friend in for a once in 10 years purchase).
Phones and PCs are something of a dead area for consumers now anyway as they are "good enough" until something breaks.
