The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

Want credit........on that HD Ready flatscreen LCD?
I work for a mildly prestigious High St electronics retailer who's name might rhyme with Tony.
If you come into our shops and are interested in our TVs and want credit...here's what NOT to do:
1. Have bad breath/bad hygiene (I'm sat next to you remember)
2. Be completely unable to control your stupid kids, because if they knock something over....your finance might go through, but i'm adding the damage to it.
3. Take a personal call, as i'm sat there doing nothing while your chatting to your mate about the bird you knobbed last night.
(Your finance will fail)
4. Lie to me about your age (It'll fail anyway)
5. If it doesn't go through first time, you can try again later that day, or week if you like, but it won't go through....and you're fucking up your own credit rating as far as i know.
6. State to your partner/mother/brother/whoever that "if this doesn't go through, I'll bung it on the credit card".....well guess what happens next.....it's less hassle for me to put a credit card through a PDQ machine that handle all that dumb paperwork, post shit out etc.
There's more secrets....but this is a test the waters first post and all that.
