A couple of weeks ago SWMBO and her best pal went for a trip out to a Cheshire town about 15 miles from here to look at a high class furniture shop, frequented by WAGs and the like.
Pal wanted a coffee table and they were also to have a bit of lunch there........Store A.
Pal saw a marble ( probably marble dust and resin ) one that she really liked and would fulfil her desires. It was a tad over £1600 !
As she and Mr Pal are off on a cuise, she put off the decision until she gets home.
Fast forward a couple of weeks....SWMBO and I go to a large, top quality, expensive, furniture store in unfashinable North Manchester to order some new ceramic coals for our fire. ( and have the obligatory coffee )....Store B.
There, on the same floor as the coffee shop, was the same table, same manufacturer, same size......identical........£645...and not in a sale or special offer. Store B gets
the business.
Bearing in mind that store B are, presumably making a good profit, it does seem to me that store A is just taking the urine....'cos it knows it's main customer base has more cash then brains !
