b) a TV of any kind from homebase

snob isnt the word,mind you i generally purchase all my electrical goods 
from Harvey Nicholls, and believe me being on first name terms with the 
store and department manager helps a lot  lol, we even get a private room 
with dvd etc,etc and free wine when we purchase which is very regularly i 
might add and not just electricals at that.

I might buy a TV from Homebase but I would think long and hard and 
then think once more before buying a pile of unreliable trouble like 
a Bush TV.

pasty for 10% of the price?

yes possibly but the food is superb you know and the chef is wonderfully 
attentive, in fcat we have been shown around the prep area on more than one 
ocassion and its wonderful, the cleanest area i have ever seen. The thing 
that doe sit for me is my relationship with both the GM, The security 
Mmanager and all the staff members know us on first name terms which is 
excatly what good customer service whould be about although most of the 
Hharvey Nicholls staff are a step up from the comets and the homebases 
standard of staff.

Well food is food = energy.

Once went to British Homestore restaurant in Watford. It was a strange
experience. The room had very low ceiling, something like a half cellar. All
around there were mirrors with a dark reflections, surely one-way mirrors.
While I was eating, I was thinking that management might be standing on the
other side and watching me, like being in a Big Brother show.
