After the microwave blowing up, we thought we had better go and buy a new one. Along with this our oven has not been working and we were unable to get it repaired! But we thought we would just deal with the microwave today. We went into three shops and quite frankly they were not interested in serving us and I don’t feel like spending money at a shop that really is not concerned if you buy or not. In one we even asked them about one of the microwaves and the girl just wandered off and went and served somebody else!
Next we went into Arçelik, the one on the main road to Girne, on the opposite side to Mr Pound. What a difference, they couldn’t have been more helpful and their prices were cheaper! The store manager, Seray served us and told us we could have “Christmas prices”, a far better microwave with a grill as well for at least a 100tl less than the other shops. We were so impressed with her service that we ended up buying a new oven in there as well. I know we have bought quite a few things from this shop in the past and they had all my details on computer, apart from the fact that they had our old address (because the authorities decided to change all the street names and numbers.) We won’t be bothering with any of the other electrical shops in future.
We brought the microwave home with us and the oven is being delivered and fitted on Monday and she told us not to pay for that until it was fitted! Well done Arçelik!!
We also bought Cyprus Today. Very little “news” to justify the 4tl price.
I heard from Torin and he was having a disastrous day. He has flu but had to go to the shops because it is the twins birthday tomorrow. First he got his shopping, went to the checkout to discover he hadn’t got his wallet with him. Back to the car to find he had left his keys in the ignition and then on the way home felt dizzy and drove up the kerb. I told him he should go back to bed and stay there, which he did.
We watched the Man U game in the afternoon. They won 4-0. Looks as though they will be getting at least one bit of silver this season, maybe three.
