Yes....It would be nice to think that in light of the problems that are going to condemn our nation to 10 years of a financial depression,
the likes of hasnt been seen since the great wall street crash in the 1930's, some bright spark might just say...HOLD ON LETS STOP ALL THIS TICK BASED ECCONOMY BOLLOX. But oh no...fat cats have bonuses to make, Gordon Brown has a nation to con in time for the election...So lets just keep on keeping on........NO FUCKER WILL KNOW!!!!!!

I have an Argos Card & use it regularly. If you spend up to £95, its interest free for 3 months, £195 (I think), its interest free for 6 months, & £295, its interest free for 9 months or something to that effect. If you're able to pay it back quickly then I personally think its a good way to buy.

You could buy Argos outright for £295!!!

Just heard on the news, they've double charged a load of people .. so if you did buy something on those cards .. check it to make sure ..

Easy way to make a few extra quid and put it on the stock market .. there paying it all back slowly .. should be back in people's accounts within a few days apparently ..

Cant really rob owt from Argos cos most of its kept in the stock room. It's more of a guns n masks job than a quick in and out to be honest.
