Dont think I would pay much more than £20 anyway for a DVD player these days....

You can pick up Toshiba upscaling DVD players for around £35 if you shop around

Have a Google Shopping search for the Toshiba SD-390... it's under £30 in places.

Don't need to mention places, just mention what you got and how much you paid.

Used I assume? Or have prices gone back down?

Does things for free count?

Anyone in Electrical Retail may have heard of Panasonic's 'Focus on the Future' scheme, bascially, for those who don't know, it allows you to claim points for the Panasonic products you sell, for example you'd get 320 points for selling the TXP42G10B etc...
And I saved up enough, and got enough to buy myself the DMC-TZ7 (3200 points) So bascially, got arguably the best camera on the market, for free

(Retails at around £300 in most places at the moment

)

PS. Only in the sale section so won't be online/an advertised deal. Basically just trousers and jackets for £15 each at most.

Their sale section was actually pretty good - leather bomber jackets for £30 from £180 etc.

aye, just looked online, Will next be in town on monday for work, but not sure if I could fight through roadworks/tourists in edinburgh during my lunch hour.
Do you know if they had any slim fit suits?

Russinating · 1 Aug 2009 at 20:58

Yeah I'm a slim fit and there were a number of jackets I was looking at (had sizes 36-48 ish). I didn't buy the suit out of principal - the jacket was £12 and the matching trousers were £30. I complained and the manager said they could do the trousers for £20 (I asked for them to be £12). I told them they could leave it.

I may go back in on Monday

My friend got a suit for £15/£15 jacket/trousers.
