Subject: RE: BS: Iceland buys 51 UK Woolworths stores
Iceland is a funny company. One time I bought a microwave oven off them. After a while it broke down. they replaced it with a new one, which also broke down and which they also replaced with a new one. And the same thing happened again.

In the end, I couldn't work out whether it was a good deal or a bad deal. I always had a new microwave, on the other hand - they kept breaking down.

After smoke started pouring out the back of the third replacement one, I went to Currys and got one which has never given a day's trouble.
