Twice I called play.com customer services to find out when the wii + balance board console would be delivered given it went from 1-2 weeks delay at ordering to being 3-5 weeks after waiting for one week.

On both calls I got the usual sort of stuff you expect to hear when you call up someone and they can’t really help you (although I did request them to send the in-stock bundled items and send the rest when in stock which they refused); but also I was told on both occasions that as my card had not been charged yet I could cancel the order if I wanted to.

So I did, after 2 weeks of waiting for play.com selling this for £240 with an ongoing delay of over a month, I found John Lewis selling the same black console with sports and sports resort with motionplus for £150 which you could pick up from a store the following day. Also the balance board was expected in stock at amazon.co.uk around a week later for £85, so I called them up to ask if I placed an order online I would be sure to get one of that consignment and indeed that is the case.

I picked up the wii last saturday and have enjoyed it for 3 days now it’s a really great console, and amazon will have the remaining item wii fit plus with balance board here tomorrow (5 days earlier than expected)

So I cancel with play and less than a week later I get what I ordered from two other retailers and save £5.

Watch this then picture how it would have ended in the UK.

The UK would have acted all friendly to him, taken him off for treatment in a nice hospital, probably realised he was in the country illegally and sorted that out for him then given him a  4 bedroom council house to say sorry for his inconvenience – oh then given him £500 a week for the rest of his life.

Or at least that’s how the hundred different police TV programmes on Virgin make it look where someone obviously commits a crime – gets a free dinner then is sent on their way home.

Last year I stopped putting “Hi xxxx” and “Regards, Brad” type stuff on emails; initially people were a little lost but then realised that the fact the email got to them meant the first bit was unnecessary, and the fact their inbox showed the email was from me meant I didnt need to remind them at the end of every email.

Email: use it wisely….
