Decided that as most folks here like them, I'd get one. Used our 'supermarket loyalty card' points and ordered a B&D. Went to collect it today, and it wasn't till I got the box home that I realised the girl at Customer Services, [ now there's an oxymoron for you, here in France
], had given me a 12v cordless B&D drill instead.
Buggered if I'm driving 40 klics to get "Well, it's a red B & D, with a battery and a handle, what more d'you want? ALORS!! You opened the box!!!", so I'm keeping it.
Guess I'll have get one by mail order.
