Thanks Halfords

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

I dont shop at halfords, or at least very very rarely, but just thought i would have a quick search on their site as i had 5 minutes.

Turns out they decide what to search for not you!

Pointless waste of your life using their website wasn't it.

The Halfords electronic catalogue is garbage. I know because I worked there. What you get on the website is what they have on the tills in store. Half the stuff isn't even in it.

They won't sell choke cables anyway. You might be able to make one from a bicycle brake cable though.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

I did find the other day when I went to halfords that it's always worth comparing the online prices to the instore prices, managed to save some money on the new stereo for my Zuki when i noticed it was a whole £6 cheaper online. Spoke to one of the employees and they gave it to me for the online price. Score :doublethumbs:
