Curry’s TV Adverts

They are absolutely inane like so many adverts these days. I'm finding car adverts so irritating these days too, they tell you nothing about the cars at all execept,perhaps, that they do up to so many mph/battery charge. Up to, without a from, in front of it giving a range is pointless. They are all to arty as well.

Like lots of people, I try to ignore all adverts and find them just ridiculous and irritating. There's that particularly irksome pop up ad on Gransnet with some woman's face on it which pops up over the content. I have no idea what it's for, as I immediately tap on the symbol to get rid of it.
Gransnet admin - please take note 😂

Had great experience with mum at local Curry’s. Helpful and knowledgeable. But we did have to watch the delivery charges on a fridge/freezer which varied according to day of delivery, etc. We ended up buying from a local independent, where price was slightly higher but they offered delivery for free and were able to deliver more quickly. It appears to shop around as they say! But Mum lives in a large town, and definitely has much more choice than I do in a smaller town dominated by tourists.

They didn’t know zilch about heat pump dryers or about self cleaning filters- had to show the guy where the filter was stored 🙄ended up going to a local shop who were brilliant, plus keeping them going.

When I shop in Curry’s I delight in confusing the assistant (assuming you can find one).
In my mid 70s, silver haired and I am treated patronisingly as though I am completely tech ignorant and easily conned.
In fact I have spent most of my life in IT and I take great delight in asking the young assistants highly technical questions that they can rarely answer. I take a wicked sadistic pleasure in cutting the worst ones down to size. 🤣

Their adverts are always daft.

I like Curry’s and shop there in person and on online, always very happy with service and products.

HOWEVER, their adverts, particularly the latest one, drive me up the wall!!

I use currys as there isn;t much choice these days in our town. Where I lived previously we had a fabulous small independent shop where we bought all our white goods. They also did repairs and when the door catch broke on my washing machine the guy told me it would be £35 for a call out but he described over the phone how to remove the door myself and take it in and the catch was replaced for £5! When we were looking for a new appliance we always asked if they had any 'graded' machines and they usually found us one. Most of the faults were undetectable and we had some real bargains from them. There was also an independent place selling TVs and Hifi etc that we used for all those types of purchase and we always negotiated a good price there too. Sadly customer service and choice has gone out of the window now that most people buy online and stores have closed.

I always use a local independent retailer for my electricals..

Dreadful ads do they think we are simple minded or something, specially the one with the beard!!

That’s not very kind Quizzer
Our local one was very helpful a few years ago, but we’ve also used AO.

I rarely see ads and haven’t seen the Curry’s one, nor been inside a Curry’s shop for at least six years. But my grandson works in the back office of the Returns department. They resell some returned items on ebay. Caveat emptor ( buyer beware).

Agree with Mum2three can never find an assistant in Currys, they don't seem to have any knowledge of their products (if you're lucky enough to find one), then its usually out of stock (but can be ordered on line). I stick with John Lewis, assistants helpful, knowledgeable and after sales brilliant.
