Agreed. You'd have saved lots of time by doing click and collect - at least to find out if they have stock. Loads of windows in our local branch.

You could have checked on the web before going... First one I tried
showed 2 in stock in Perth, Dundee, Dumfries etc, but as you say, none
in Glasgow :-)

I liked a pub gents once where they had microswitch activated taps
Someone reversed the wiring for the hot and the cold, ie if you turned
on the hot tap the water came out of the cold tap, and vice versa.

People coming out reporting this were treated as delusional with men
and women making personal visits to check for themselves.
