Currys [4]

Posted on by


Currys, the retail company are a bunch of cunts.

Last Saturday, 25th October, Elder and the Berserker took me to buy a new TV, my current one having shook a 7 the night before. I purchased a suitable replacement, pleasantly surprised at how reasonably priced it was.

I paid for it and went home, where the Berserker installed it for me.

Now, here’s the reason for the cunting. Whilst paying, the sales assistant did the usual extended warranty sales pitch.
No thanks.
Did I want an electronic copy of my receipt?
Yes.

I know, I wasn’t thinking. BIG mistake!

In the last seven days, not including the receipt, I have had 10 emails from Currys mainly promoting their Black Friday sale, another American abomination.

There’s no media link but I have attached the Black Friday TV ad, for which alone Currys deserves to be destroyed, Budweiser style.

YouTube.

How very dare they!

  1. By purchasing stuff from Curry’s you are encouraging them to make even more of their terrible ads.

    Quiet frankly, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.

    Good morning.

  2. That’s twice you got me JP, I thought the nom was going to be about the spicy dish, instead it’s a crap store.
    And two no dàrķies in the black Friday advert, surely trades description should be notified..

  3. All companies do it. Electronic anything is an abomination.Argos are especially dreadful, but there is a horticultural company of my acquaintence, who if you look on their website at ANYTHING will send you an email which starts “Caught you plant shopping again!” – there is something so effeminate, so net curtain twitching about it, you want to tell them to fuck off, but you can’t because the address they send it from from does not accept replies. Only go to J Parkers website if you really want to buy something.

    But if any company ever asks if I want an electronic receipt I always look as dim as Ed Miliband and say “what is that?” when they tell me I always so, Oh I don’t have email – my phone is an old Nokia so they can’t call me a liar.

    • I suspect that your not really a jew or a Yorkshire man JP the way you fritter away money like Viv Nichols.

      You didnt even haggle!!
      Or get anything free in the bargain.

      Im most disappointed.

      I like to think that you clutched your chest and said
      “oh my days, how much?!
      Ecky thump your killing me here!”

      As you pull the purse from the string around your neck and start counting out small change..

  4. Currys are cunts,so I feel your pain.

    Perhaps thirty years ago they refused to “price match” a very expensive CD player I found cheaper on the retail park,despite having a very large cardboard sign suggesting “we’ll beat any price!”..

    I sent them a very firm letter and received £200 in compo,which was adequate.

    Anyway I understand these places are now rammed full of grinning pakis trying to offer all sorts of extras so I avoid the dreadful mess like the plague.

    Fuck them.

    Good morning.

    • In fact I can go further,I haven’t to the best of my knowledge ever visited one of those “retail parks” since 1997.

      Hell on earth I believe is the correct phrase.

  5. At the bottom of these nuisance emails, there’s usually a link (in tiny writing,) which you click to opt out and stop receiving future correspondence from these companies. Opt out and block is my advice.

  6. I’ve had a similar experience only recently, Be Jeezum, from sly. Having had some up to date work done on the house to receive this necessary evil. I decided to purchase a film from the cunts, just like I’d done in the past. What did I get ! Nothing but praise for doing so ! Being treated like a child ! Hoping I enjoy it ! What the fucking hell !?!. Twice I’ve had to ring them, to get this childish nonsense from my fucking eyesight, the twats ! I ranted and raged at them to rid me of any further contact from them, other than what they’ve provided me with, or I’ll be rid of them for good.

    I’m fed up of being treated like a halfwitted child, regardless of my age. I only use the landline for the likes of these fucking cunts, when asked to give them a pat on the back for doing their job !?! I lived throughout the rationing days when we had fuck all and didn’t get treated any differently for it. Twats want to be loved and praised these days for doing what comes naturally. Stop wasting people’s time and wallow in your own self pity.

    • I’d still think of a satellite/t.v. signal it as more an Optional evil than a necessary one.

      I stand ready to be corrected on the matter if my conclusion is inapposite, (anyone)?

  7. Curry’s is the electrical retail version of Asda.
    Staffed almost entirely by chancing park keys, with as much knowledge of the products they sell as Harvey Price has of astrophysics.
    John Lewis used to be the place to buy a telly.
    Price matched with a 5 year warranty thrown in.
    Brought to an end by that over promoted dark key wimminz who nearly destroyed them a few years ago.
    It makes you wonder if there are any trusted retailers left.

  10. Fucking useless. I went to their local “showrooms” looking for a replacement for my PYE radiogram. Nothing. The twelve year old cunts running the place claimed they had never heard of PYE and asked me what a radiogram is! At a push I was willing to accept something by Decca but drew another blank. They tried to sell me some tiny piece of Jap crap. Fuck that. After what they did to our chaps? I think not. I guess it is no more wireless for me.

    Good morning, everyone.

  11. I remember a few years ago when my fridge packed up without warning. It is a necessary appliance that needs an instant replacement. Currys had just what I wanted in their window, but when I enquired within, I was told it was the only one left. “I will have that one then, I’m not fussy,” was my reply. “No you can’t have that one, it’s the disply model,” I was then told. I said ” What is the point, when you have none left?” “We are waiting for more, but this model is delivery only (another 40 quid on top.” At this point I started to think I was going to loose it. “What are hachbacks for!” I shouted?” Followed by “Currys no Worries!” & then I walked out. Luckilly there was a Comets nearby, that could fullfil all my needs.

  15. Furniture village are cunts too, pet4homes, well they are cunts too, ever since I got my Hound, I have been bombarded with e-mails!

    So I lied, I gave them my old postcode in the belief it would be quick, was it fuck, the woman’s grandfather had lived there! half an hour later (after mentioning rising damp and a few other wobbly bits on the house) she let me go.

    • Small potatoes, MNC.
      We have a Sony BRAVIA 8 II 4K QD-OLED Liquid Quantum Pixel TV with integrated 7.1 B&O sound system audiophonics.
      Mind you, we had to sell most of Mr Beau`s bodily organs to buy it.
      Lovely picture though.

    • Don’t try to impress us boasting about your posh van with a tail lift Mis. Real men simply lift the stuff up on to the tail board.

    • Not only a remote but one with voice activation

      ‘Play classic coronation street’

      JP will love it, he can call the TV a cunt when it stops working

      • I just tried it with mine

        Top of the screen ‘you are a c***’

        ‘Sorry can’t find what you are looking for’

        Nice to see it auto censors free speech

  17. Do they still make TVs with valves for older people.

    ‘Would you like your receipt emailed to you’

    ‘You mean you want me to give back the receipt you just gave me so you can scan it and then email it to me, bloody hell that will save me having to carry it home, thank you’

    • Hey, watch what you say Sicky! I’ve spent some time working on valve kit. I even made a working valve diode in one of those tiny fish paste pots when I was at school.

      So yah boo sucks to you!

  18. Seriously, why does anyone go to a shop any more? The competition for your business on the net is cut-throat and the stuff turns up at your door within hours. No hassle with traffic or parking and you don’t have to meet or speak to any cunt.

    • Agreed Arfur,
      I went out the other day looking for a Fair-Rite 0431177081. Couldn’t find one anywhere. Only ch*v shops on my High St.
      Plenty on the internet. Better than having to go out amongst them.

      • So you’re in electronics Arfur Tunn? Most folks out there wouldn’t have a clue about a ferrite ring. They would probably think it was some form of sexual deviancy.

      • Ayup Arfur,
        it’s for a mains filter, updated G3SEK design. Lots of noise on HF.
        A lady in the village keeps a selection of rings straps and fastenings, so goes the rumours.

      • You licensed then Arfur? What’s your prefix? Please don’t give out your call sign and jeopardise your anonymity! I’m a G3, 1969 vintage. Fuck me I’m old.

      • I’m a G1 Arfur, got it in 1983. I used to drive around, covered an area from Sunderland to Nottingham. I had 2m/70cms in the van to pass the time while driving. Mostly on HF now, usually just listening.
        You’re right about Richer. tv, amp, speakers, dvd, d to a converter, headphones. They’ve done well out of me.

  20. Black Friday: another American invention that we have to have over here because it’s another reason to buy crud we don’t need.

    It’s similar to how all shops are now ‘stores,’ Father Christmas is now ‘Santa,’ everyone misprounces schedule and harassment and now even pronouncing lieutenant as ‘lootenant’ has crept over too.

    Even though their bantu-ridden American Football thankfully hasn’t caught on here (yet), we also have to have the ‘Super [toilet] bowl’ shoved down our throats too.

    Fücking hate all of it.

    • I loathe the whole entire existence of hamshankland. All our Father Christmases are going to fuck them up the arse. How dare they alter our language. Why don’t they go and find one of their own to fuck up. I agree with all you said before, Cunntrarian. The cheeky cunts how dare they. They also don’t like me calling them the Canadians shithouse.

  23. Must admit their latest adverts do have the whiff of twattish. Don’t think I would allow some ugly cunt to sit on me even if he did buy a 100” quantum colour trans spatial tv. No no fuck off.

  24. It’s a good while back, but I went to Currys to buy a television, I’d been told they were the only people who still stocked this particular model. It was my first big widescreen tv. When I arrived I was told they only had one left, the demonstrator model which was on the shelf switched on amongst all the others. I didn’t want a used one but I didn’t have a choice, and they’d knocked £50 off. I asked them to switch it off and arranged for it to be delivered, installed and to be given guidance on how to work it.
    When it arrived and they brought it into my living room, I saw that it was filthy, they hadn’t even bothered to wipe it down, it still had all the muck on it that had accumulated over weeks or months in the showroom. The two fellas who brought it were just delivery men, they couldn’t tell me how to work it, and even better, they hadn’t even brought a remote control with them.
    I’ve never been in a Currys shop since.

  25. Curry’s. What a load of wank. They were fine about 10 years ago. Bought a Bosch Washing Machine from them about 2 years ago and paid the £50 tale away old machine and installation fee. Took the old washing machine outside myself.

    They tried to fit it and said “that isolator is leaking”. Switched it off. Left us with no working washing machine. I had to get a plumber to fit a new isolator and plumb in the machine. They said they were not plumbers just fitters. No refund from Curry’s. Never again.
