TBH it's frustrated me as I wanted some new camera stuff. I'd saved up and then when Brexit was announced, the price went up by 20%. |

This amuses me. The last company that made me redundant did their advertising. Guess they're not campaigning too great. I wonder if Queen John Lewis will now lose her crown? <stirs cauldron> |

In the age of internet price comparisons, prices matter. |

Interestingly, some electronics stores over here are putting in data blockers, you can make a phone call with your mobile, but you don't get any data connection! |

I’m surprised that doesn’t count as anti-competitive practice |

So what I normally do is take a photo of the item and price and then go home and look it up. I appreciate that since price comparison websites have been around, electronic and electrical goods stores have had models with slightly differing model numbers "exclusive" to their store. With a bit of research, you can find out what the actual model is (the figures and features tend to be the same). TBH when I went to buy a new LCD TV, I went to John Lewis, Currys, and Richer Sounds. In Currys, a salesman came up to me and started chatting. In John Lewis, I was just asked if I needed any help. Richer Sounds had only two salespersons and both were busy with a one customer. I waited around for ten minutes and decided to head off. I ended up ordering the TV from JL online and got it delivered (along with a fancy TV stand) less than a week later. |

What's that got to do with JL? |

The comment above about people going into stores and using price comparison sites, whilst in the store. |
