Cold. There's no way I'm buying that revolting paper for any voucher. Ever.

Spend £10 on a basket of goods which is overpriced as it's Waitrose therefore saving nothing when you get a free paper.

I don't know which is more incredulous, the fact most of the stores are Southern England based or that you actually use Microsoft Edge :wink:

Isn't Robert Dyas the store that hates Northerners and Scots? Or is that just Theo Paphitis?

Dunno, I think it is the store that does not exist for many a town in the country.

This looks like it might be a loss leading offer, so buy it, don't read it, and bring down the paper a little bit!

"...incredulous..."? :confused:
cicobuff
5 Dec 15#11
Yes....incredulous...it is hard to believe that all the stores are in the south of england (as in not a fair representation of the country), and it is hard to believe that someone actually uses Microsoft Edge.

No need to spend £10 on a basket of goods, normally one item should be enough at Waitrose.:laughing:

If you aren't fussed about browser plugins, then Edge is faster than Chrome in pretty much every area. Vastly better at using system resources too. Firefox is a fair alternative though.
cicobuff
5 Dec 15#19
Perhaps I have not given it much of a chance, but to be fair the layout of it is hardly the most inviting.
wenttoabetterplace
5 Dec 153#20
I can't really see how the layout is an issue? Looks fresher/cleaner than Chrome - and much improved over Firefox. It's really just the extension support that lets it down.
(If you run a low powered computer...then Edge is THE best browser to use. Firefox is v.good too. Chrome is woeful though. Video playback hammers the CPU - whereas Edge barely touches it at all. Memory management is vastly better too. I dare say that with extension support, Edge will be the browser to beat. I'm certainly quite happy using it)
cicobuff
5 Dec 15#21
Horrible icons, horrible browser bar, just seems unintuitive to me. Guess I will have to get used to it with Windows 10 Phone shortly.
Just read this [article], comparing, and it pretty much sums up Chrome is the best browser right now to use, and I will carry on using it.
wenttoabetterplace
5 Dec 15#22
Are they really that different? Firefox in particular is disjointed. Edge and Firefox look pretty similar to me...
wenttoabetterplace
5 Dec 15#23
I previously used Chrome - particularly for inline translation. But its video playback, memory management and CPU demands make it a woeful choice on my computer (Baytrail Asus T100). It is also pretty horrible when using the touch screen.
It perhaps suits more powerful systems...and if it does, then there is much to like. But it has a long way to go before it eclipses Firefox or Edge on lower powered machines.
(P.S. - we've taken this thread WAY off topic :smiley:. Let's swing it back towards Robert Dyas!)
cicobuff
5 Dec 15#24
Fair enough, and just for the record I don't have any vendetta against Microsoft, just been used to using Chrome on my desktops and laptops for years, same as preferring using google rather than bing...people tend to stick with what they know and even when I have done installs for people you will find a lot of people prefer using Chrome than IE...I think that sticks and Edge will take something special to change that.
Installing Chrome was one of the first things I did once I installed Windows 10 on my laptop.
wenttoabetterplace
5 Dec 152#25
Everyone prefers Google search to Bing :smiley:. But Chrome isn't what it once was. It's bloated at the expense of performance. I also do not like Google's business practices (or how close they are to US institutions - and how they don't back other US companies such as MS and Apple when it comes to defending peoples right to privacy).
Edge (+ v.infrequently, Firefox) work well for me.
Given Google's questionable business practices, one could argue that it is incredulous that someone would wilfully choose to use their browser :smiley:
Back to Robert Dyas!

I won't vote hot/cold but I got a £5 voucher in my local free neighborhood magazine that was delivered yesterday. All my neighbours discarded theirs without reading, so I have like 4 of them lol. Too bad there is nothing I want in the shop

If this is a voucher that gives you a fiver off ANYTHING in Bobby Dyas, then it`s an incredible(_;) deal to be sure. Buy some Duracell batteries for example, give them the voucher, then walk out without paying a penny? :confused:

Shame it can't be used online. I have about 4 items in my basket that will have to be dekivered cos the nearst store is 90 miles away

Deffo worth £1.60 then! I`m off to my newsagent :smirk:
GlentoranMark
6 Dec 151#45
The Halfords lights come with batteries and a £9.99 receipt (at least mine did). There's no mention of anything free on the receipt so you could pull a fly one and bring it back tomorrow for a £9.99 credit note :stuck_out_tongue:
The Dyas voucher is no good for me but thanks for this thread or I'd never have known about the lights. It's what I needed for these dark nights.

6 Dec 151#46
went in to Robert Dyas, got a lunch box and cup and he didn't even want the voucher (after I had bought the paper!) - cost me 97p plus £1.60 for paper and I had the voucher spare!
jimmybo to joesmum
6 Dec 152#48
Don't forget the bike light set voucher - you've got 'till Saturday to redeem that one in Halfords :smirk:
Or - as it's the season of good will - give the voucher to someone with a bike :smile:

like most things its only useable at stores in the SOUTH of England. like most shops theres no Robert Dyas here up north in Lancashire.
nothing for us up north in lancaster, no ikeas, no robert dyas, no amazon same day delivery, broadband speeds substandard, no john lewis, no major cinema chains, no airports, no posh shopping centres, few airports/fewer destinations from Monopolistic manchester airport so no cheap flights. few job prospects, no high class universities, few career oppurtunities, nearest specialist hospitals hundreds of miles away for most, and to top it all and and add insult they call flood hit carlisle a city!
the conservatives only care about the south, us northerners lancashire and above are just to make up the numbers

The point is - as you yourself actually reiterated with that dictionary c&p - that "Incredulous" is what sentient beings may or may not be; inanimate objects or concepts can only be incredible (or otherwise).
I couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd help out/annoy (delete as applicable).

Thanks, a bit late to the party though. It was already pointed out in comment number #12 'incredible that' would have been the appropriate word choice.
