I don’t want to buy online.

with 3 comments

I don’t. I would rather buy from a shop, I would rather have person to go back to. I would rather walk out with it today. With that in mind: I ask why it is so much cheaper online? The hard drive i want is £200 in PC World and £100 on Amazon. I don’t see why it is so much more expensive and i don’t buy the whole overheads, staff rubbish. These big companies aren’t really cutting prices, they don’t try to compete with online because they know they can charge what the hell they like because there’s some mug willing to pay it. Pah. If their prices dropped in line with the internet (and not, we’ll match the price - just drop it) they’re business would go through the roof. Will they? Of course not.

Ho hum.

  2. That you don’t need to be aware of your grammar at all times? Especially if ranting!
