Hi All,

I needed to use my wallpaper stripper / steamer the other day and
found the power lead was missing? ;-(

A quick drive round all the likely places turned up nothing so I
bought a new steamer sigh.

I once mislaid my lead, so I went to B&Q (where I'd bought the
stripper) and asked a guy in the relevant section whether I could buy
a replacement. He rummaged around in a little cubby-hole and found a
spare lead (from a faulty stripper), and gave it me FOC !

Result! .. And you *can* sometimes get help like that.

I believe 'officially' he shouldn't let you have it as any returns /
ex display stuff have to 'go back' or be tested before they can sell
them again (rules, shrug) ;-(

All the best ..
