Be informed

I write this while “Stand down Margaret” by the Beat, plays on my turntable. Contemporaries will understand the significance.

It is time to be a shade more discerning with whom I transact. First on my list, Carphone Warehouse. I’ve been customer of CW for 15 years or so. The customer service was always good. The largely male sales assistants were always knowledgeable and had solutions. Sorry, the boss, Charles Dunstone is a signatory to one of those deceitful letters in support of the Conservatives in the election campaign. End of business. That goes for Dixons as well.

Second, Charles Tyrwhitt, great shirts. I’ve written about this company before because of its use of Hermes couriers. Now it turns out that its boss, Nick Wheeler is also a Conservative signatory. Never again will they get my business.
