I've just been on the PcWorld site (I know - don't ask!) and I see they
are now selling fitness equipment and boys bikes. Usually, when a
specialist retailer diversifies into unrelated product lines it's a

It's never helped other companies ( M&S being one of the major ones but
there have been more) when they tried to diversify from their core customer
base.

desperate measure and a sure sign that all is not well with the
pennies?

That's not all they're selling. Go to the home page and search for
"recovery". It appears they're selling themselves for £30 ;)

They've fixed it, but it's on El Reg for prosperity ;)


As an aside to that, I spent a frustrating 10 minutes searching for
something fairly simple - A4 glossy printing paper. PcWorld's search
facility is awful! Eventually I found what I was after but the 'product
details' page didn't tell me if it was suitable for use with pigment
inks. I was just starting to scream when a pop-up appeared with a
message appeared inviting me to comment on the site and assuring me
that they really value customer feedback. Well, I was just in the right
mood to supply them with some feedback so I clicked on the 'feedback
now' button. The pop-up disappeared and nothing else happened.

They read your mind about what you were going to ay. Next time wear a tin
