strung together this:

I've just attempted a search and it's come up with 4 items that all have
the same description and technical details and with the same
manufacturers part number but with different CPC part numbers and
different prices. Hitting the links for the items takes me to a
technical page where 3 of the items are not listed (the cheaper items).
The ONLY way to get the correct information is from the paper catalogue.


That's because it also drags up the special offer parts, which are the
same part no.s with a 2 digit suffix. They're all the same item which
can be ordered by the special order numbers, provided the special
offer period is still valid.
All four items are the same so you don't need 4 different pages of the
same information.
Admittedly, it's not the best way of doing it.


It would help if they stated that it was a promotional offer last to a
certain date rather than giving part numbers unrelated to the those
referenced in the technical data page.

At least on old site you could find a part description of the item on
the first page. Now you get a page with a part number, a second page
with a poor partial description and a further page to navigate to get
the full description. Where one and a half pages did the job before it's
now at least three pages. This is hardly an improvement.

Try searching for SCART leads and you will get page after page that only
say SCART plug to plug
