dm is housebound and wanted to buy a recliner chair, saw advertised in magazine, phoned up, appointment made, salesman visited yesterday. [i wasn't there, as prior apt else where]. she ordered one and fast forward to today.
she phones me all excited about this chair being delivered on tuesday, i'm happy for her until i heard the price [deep breath] £2000. i'm not impressed as she can't really afford it, and i've since found similar on line for around £600. she has phoned to cancel the order and is waiting for refund. she has just called again [quite happy] to say that she has had call from salesman saying he'll reduce the price for her - cheeky fucker !
just venting about it, how these people prey on vulnerable, sadly she was happy to buy it until i pointed out alternatives and that is the worrying thing.
