Santa must of been because the glass of sherry had gone. ( along with the bottle ) He must of been pissed as he forgot to leave my "big" pressie 
Maybe he left the money with my wife to get it in the sales a? Santa and his elves must of crash landed because the place was a mess, bottles, glasses and bits of food everywhere 
He must of spiked my water as i have a feckin ed ache and cant remember much :p all the practical things i asked for like work shirts, jeans steelies never came because people said " cant get you work stuff for Christmas ??? " so now all the good clobber i got last year and didn't get time to wear it will be worn for work and people will say ..." that's how you appreciate my present." bah humbug . :laugh: hope you all got what you wanted and had a good one , i did lol

Its nice to get together as a family. We were invited to a pub Xmas night, i thought that will be nice as had sat there with our boys, doing what boys do best ...getting pissed. i was the driver as usual. when we got there a big tele was on and we had to watch their pantomime they did in June. almost two hours of torture, the sound was s**t, dancing s**T. there's me sober as a judge trying to look interested and everyone else ( drunk ) taking the piss. most embarrassing.

brought the missus a sat nav from currys in sheffield while we were up there for a weekend.
when she opened it on xmas day, it was missing from the box!
took it back to currys in hemel, to be told, "take it back to where you brought it"
yeah right, all the way back to sheffield? i don't think so
watchdog here we come

F**k dan that's a first ...a lost sat nav. maybe it will find itself :laugh:
joking aside i wouldn't leave the shop till they replaced it m8. the store man is on to a good thing a? We was doing suspended ceilings in a warehouse years ago. temptation got the better of me, i took the drills and bits out of the boxes and replaced them with a brick and a nail. imagine their faces when the customers opened the box. Naughty i know but I'm only human :;):

to be honest, i don't know and the missus can't remember in her haste to open it.
how many of us open every last box when we brought something before we left a shop?
We have contacted watchdog, and are awaiting a reply, failing that, a relative is a solicitor.
When he told us to go back to sheffield where we brought it, i should have said, " i can't i dont have a sat nav to get me there!!"
Stupid thing is, i boycott all the big electrical stores becasue of this sort of thing, and i stupidly thought it would be okay.
Always buy from the small shop.

I guess if it went legal the onus would be on the retailer to prove it was missing from said box at the time of sale.
How much was it? I guess the monies involved would be small fry to a large retailer anyway.

it was £130. and i claimed the vat back.
I told them it would cost me more than that to exchange it, and even if i did go there, they cannot guarantee me a replacement. You cannot phone a currys store direct. oh and their customer helpline is answered by "foreign" sounding people. yet another call centre in india!??!
wathc this space for a fight and a half!

my auld fella bought another sat nav,and lo and behold the language was preset to norwegian (or summat weird)
he was at his wits end with it but i managed to get it back to english, chances are someone had had a play with it before it was sold
