Harveys "The Fu(ckwits)rniture store"
utter twunts!! utter fucking twunts!!!

after a nightmare episode involving 2 sofas my mrs demanded direct action against these fuckers!

quick background: our original sofas arrived covered in mold, 5 weeks later our replacements arrived and the delivery guys left us to fit the feet ourselves, at which point we realised that the screws weren't long enough and were too big for the holes drilled into the feet - cue 6 months of complaining via OFT/Trading Standards/legal action, resulting in full refund (and a free "leather care kit" that they never took back.... admittedly we kinda maybe told them that the driver took it with the first sofa)

Anyway.... me and the mrs went for a wander round the Middlebrook retail park (next to the Reebok, and it's FULL of sofa companies, including Harveys!) and I think it has a Boots too

We were childminding a baby for one of her friends for the afternoon, and sthe mrs thought we should pop in and joked that we should leave a used nappy stashed behind a sofa for their staff to find. I'd been bouncing the little sprog quite a bit making it laugh and needed a sit down. All of a sudden, the kid burps and out it comes! Not quite Linda Blair in the Exorcist, but enough to coat the side of the sofa with a nice covering of vomit. There was no staff in sight (thank God) but out comes the tissues to wipe the child's mouth, and off we head for the doors!

Not exactly the dirty protest that we'd joked about, although looking back, I could have ran to Boots for some laxatives if we were so inclined!!

All that ...
... for the sake of a handful of screws - I'd have just gone and bought the right screws.

Ahh, Middlebrook
Used to work in the HMV there. It was great.

Rest of it is a shithole though.....
