as some may know i am currently pulling engine for a rebuild.startin to struggle by the time i get home from work its dropping dark so i thought id get myself a inspection lamp.the dim wit in halfrauds had know idea what i was on about and insisted on trying to sell me neons when i went into more detail about what i wanted he helpfully told me that yes they do them in different colours and ones that flash!!!!!!i asked him if he had ever tried removing a propshaft under the light given off by a green flashing neon.to which i just got a blank expression.luckily someone (another customer) after hed finished chuckling pointed me in the right direction.i am amazed about the staffs product knowledge!

lol :D

i remember when i went in for a set of spark plugs for my zed, i was told i needed 20, yes 20, i tried to explain i only needed 6 he said "no you need 20, thats what it says on the computer in front of me" (all sarky like), then i explained to himthat he may be looking at the order screen and not the info screen, the stoopid twit sadi i still needed 20 so i left and got them at a nissan dealer's (the same dealers that told me nissan didnt make a uk 300zx, its called the fairlady, buts thats a different story lol)

well come on its halfrauds, all their staff no about is chavved up air freshners, neon lights and second rate I.C.E set ups, im sure on the application form they are required to get 95% in the "how chav am i test"

LOL.. That is true.. If you ask a question about anything other than a Saxo, a Corsa etc. they know fook all generally (There is the odd assistant in Halfrauds that have helped me in the past, to be fair), but generally speaking.. Fookin useless!!

ime sorry if anyone has kids working in a halfords store here but they are a complete loss when it comes to any advise on what they attually sell and 99% of the time they are complete dimwitted pupating gangely cokheads more intrested in looking at themselves in the reflective windows than sorting us out with automotive information :mad: but its the fault of the store owners and shareholders in thinking all we need is a chrome "turbo" sticker or a cheap flimsy chinese excuse for a chamio leather :rolleyes:
