With this bizarre appointment front of mind, I did something I never do earlier this morning on my way through Heathrow Airport....I stopped and entered a Dixons "Tax-Free" store at T5.
Now the target ('captive') customers here differ greatly from the elderly and uneducated that DSG-run stores normally target with legal fraud, so maybe there'd be a different approach, a different mentality, a different experience...
...I lasted less than 60 secs. Horrific.

I thought I would have a look in Curry's this afternoon.
They have about 50 High Definition TV's all with a single Aerial Antenna connection playing a loop. Image on every TV varied from fuzzy to really fuzzy.
At the front door they had one "special deal" £399 TV playing a blu ray with a very sparkly HDMI cable (price probably about £12000). Maybe it is a very clever ruse to get everyone to buy the TV with the great picture.
Curry's have definitely improved though; someone had managed to turn on all the TVs. Pity all the tablets had flat batteries.
One Sony Mini System with bad speakers was playing Radio 1 at "11". Sophisticated, I thought.
Oh and an assistant practically jumped on me 12 seconds after entering, though he kept calling me mate, so that's OK.
