ok i have just spent 2-and-a-half-hours with a nice salesman from k!tchens d!rect who said all the right things re how lovely and creative i am, and wants me to part with £6000 i can't afford (even on installment) for £14000-worth (he sez) of fitted k!tchen, "jan" sales discount plus sign-NOW d!scount

i gave him a deposit cheque and everything, so he wd complete the design spec and leave it with me, and tomorrow or fri i will ring up and cancel cz now i have a lot of good ideas abt what i actually want and need and prices and blah blah

i feel a bit sorry for his wasted time but he wz smoothly hard-sell whenever i went "i may postpone till next year"

tho now i imagine i will be on their books forever, once i cancel, and get pestered quite a bit

haha yes his pitch was LOOK AT PRICES OF JOHN L£WIS ours are the SAME hence by OBVIOUS SCIENCE we are AS GOOD AS JOHN L3WIS QUALITYWISE yet NO! for our 50% discount makes us SUPERIOR to john l3wis

he also told me sad story of other hackney clients who rodered kitchen and ec ONLY TO DISCOVER their stairs were too small and no lift, so nothing cd be delivered: "so we build them an outside lift down from the roof [komedy pause] obviously we charge extra for that"

what is an "outside lift down from the roof"?
