    Been trying to contact Argos in Sprucefield to buy the 32 inch that one of you very kindly posted up last week, about three pages back.
    When I ring them, I end up getting through to a number in the UK..
    Any ideas how I can figure out whether or not they have it?
    Thanks

    The 32inch is not available to reserve in stores, I just done a check here http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CheckPriceAndStockEntryCmd?storeId=10001&GiftMode=Reset&jspStoreDir=argos&com.ibm.commerce.context.experiment.ExperimentContext=com.ibm.commerce.context.experimentimpl.ExperimentContextImpl%40dbf91d5&action=CheckPriceAndStockEntryCmd%3FlangId%3D-1&langId=-1&ddkey=ArgosGSGiftModeExitCmd and entered the details Cat Number: 529/3805 and Postcode: BT275UJ

    because it's a special offer most likely. You could possibly contact irish customer services and ask if they can forward you to the sprucefield store, as its not possible to contact the UK customer service from here.

    If you don't know anyone in the UK, let me know when you want to travel up and I will have a colleague call argos in Sprucefield and find out if the TV is available.

    Anybody know what the opening hours are for both Sainsbury's Lisburn and Asda Westwood this monday coming? Do they usually open on bank holidays, if so do they use their Sunday hours or are their different opening times altogether?

    France.

    Have a look at Irish Ferries.
    They were recently advertising a return trip including cabin for €99 (not sure if it's still going), spend 6 hours in Cherbourg, you get 2 days on board, bring back as much wine, champagne etc as you want.

    Hi,

    I'm going to Belfast tomorrow for the long weekend.
    On the way though, I would like to do some shopping.
    Where on the way, would I find:
    Next, Dorothy Perkins, A-Wear, Primark/Penneys, and other similar shops?
    Lisburn?
    I was hoping to avoid Newry as it would be too busy.

    Thanks!

    +1 its sickening hear them ask for patriotic shopping while at the same time lining their own pockets!!
    Anyway....Iceland and Sainsburys have some great deals especially if your a Vegetarian

    Hi there,
    haven't been reading this thread and don't fancy looking through 3,000+ posts so if anyone could help I'd appreciate it :)

    I'm going to be paying for something worth over 2,000GBP in the UK soon and just wondering what's the best way to get sterling cash? Will I just go into my bank or should I take it out of the wall in the UK when I'm there or get a bank draft or what?

    Any help appreciated as it could mean I'd save a few bob, or maybe not :)

    Getting 2k in sterling from a hole in a wall will be very tricky as most cards have a small daily limit for cash withdrawls. You are best to go into your bank and get the sterling cash from there.
