A made up day whereby the media judge warble on about the internet and comparison websites.<br /><br />Whatever they say the online peak is this week for the very good reason that its 3 weeks delivery and the first weekday after payday. If you want to post overseas you must do it by friday ot its too late. So the rush starts today.<br /><br />Something i haven't heard on the media yet is that although online costs are far lower than high street, profits are far lower too.<br /><br />And often they don't mention the hidden costs when gabbing about 'savings'<br /><br />My £900 TV from the local shop was £300 less in comet.<br />It came with a 5 year guarantee {£140 extra} the cables {£40 extra} and free delivery and installation {£95 extra}<br /><br />So for a real extra £25 I got it locally. And they took the old 30 kilo<br />plasma away. -30 kilo, I kid you not!<br />What the hell were Fujitsu thinking in 1995 making a flat TV that was heavier than a washing machine?<br /><br />BQ Industries looking at about 6% down today on fairly poor 2010 figures, which is a result we are quite pleased with, considering how tough it is.<br />{That doesn't include internet sales which are way up but we have 10 times the lines online that we had last year.}Bill Quango MPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861116614665461655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-54976045823783839622011-12-05T17:37:19.668+00:002011-12-05T17:37:19.668+00:00You guys are doing better than me, still 45% down....You guys are doing better than me, still 45% down.
