one may visit to choose one's leather and order accordingly. They all appear to be in Manchester or Bolton.

I think I'd rather sit on the floor.

You are only allowed to sell a product at a sale price for 6 months after price establishing the higher price for 28 consecutive days. To ensure our whole range of beds was half price for the whole year, the manufacturers supplied mattresses with different names on different sides. So on one side the bed is called Hazel, flip the mattress over and you sell it as Luis. Every six months we'd flip the mattress over and start selling the 'different' bed. So a lady comes in and says "I'm interested in Hazel, but I see you don't have it any more." "Oh, I say. Yes that has been replaced by Luis now, have a try." So she lays on the 'new' bed and tells me how similar it is to the other one. "yeah" I say, "it is basically the same bed." "Even down to the scuff mark on the base" she replies... Whoops.

at your inability to tell the difference between Luis and Hazel. That's pretty stark imo.

worth the price they are asking.

Love the adverts where they give prices in single number form.
This sofa is just 2 9 9,

Sounds much cheaper if you don't mention the word hundred.

and currently we have someone in Putney to visit on the way to a possibly now cancelled barbie tomorrow. But the better looking firm has a showroom conveniently located in Preston.

there is a good chance the same sofa will actually go down in price
