[Gllug] Hardware bits supplier in/near Oxford

[Tushar Joshi]

Come to think of it, I bought a pair of speakers from them, 
they were reduced from 100 or so to 60, however they mislabelled
them at 30. So I naturally bought them at that price. They were
the size of the boot of my car and after getting them home
and using them for a couple of hours the fuse blew. 

PC world didn't have any replacements since they had other faulty ones.
These are logitech speakers BTW. I thought I could replace the fuse myself
however I had to remove 50+ screws from the back panel of the speaker
only to find it was also glued on so I consequently gave up and had 
to return them and add them to the PC world faulty stock pile of 
logitech speakers. :( HOWEVER if I had mailed ordered these things
I'd surely have spent more money/time in sending this stuff back
and forth. So PC World does have advantages sometimes.
