I must say with Jessops even the nottingham one have always been very helpfull in the past i cant run them diown and getting a camera from a shop llke Jessops you will always get good service before and after buying i have always found that out,if it is has cheap from Jessops as online get it from Jessops !.

Oh I could, in fact I often look for Jessops staff walking across the road (or even on the pavement, a bit too close to the kerb) :D

I think it a case of the blind leading the blind or a non-exsistant source of reference. Along with the fact that people do not like to admit that they can't answer the question correctly and just give any reply. Basically it is down to management to give staff training or provide a well informed help line.

To be honest I would prefer no answer than an incorrect one because it could lead to time wasting or cause damage.

I find this remark rarther offensive Andy especially from a member of Admin. There are probably WPF members who no doubt have friends or family who work for Jessops and this kind of remark is totally uncalled for. There may even be members themselves who work for the company. So much for the friendly forum:mad:

I know Andy is far too nice to mean it at all literally Angela, maybe a joke in doubtful taste, but no more. How about a look at my horse laugh in over-exposed to take the frown off your face? :)

Epona you need to get a grip Jessops is crap!! and this is a friendly forum!!

:D That gave me a good laugh.

Hello Epona: I found Andy's comment hilarious, and I am pretty sure that was his intention, and that he does not drive over Jessops staff, and that he has no violent intentions towards them. I was tempted to ask if it was him that I saw reversing over a Jessops staff member but I thought better of it.

I posted my experiences earlier, and they are crap.

The staff sometimes try hard, but not infrequently they are rude and/or useless. Many are young, they are clearly not particularly well trained (not their fault), they are probably not well paid (not their fault), and they sell a large range of different items (not their fault). I blame the management not the staff.

As an aside, a few months back I was in the local branch (name withheld to protect the innocent) and a young Polish woman was serving. She was wearing a shirt that was not tucked in to her trousers. I asked her for some lens tissues. She turned round, and bent down to look in some draws. As she did so, her shirt was pulled up. Her trousers were falling down, and her backside was exposed for the entire world to view. I'm not sure she realised why I was struggling to stifle laughter. Pity I didn't have a camera with me.

They have had my 20D for repair longer than I have owned it, I wonder if its used as the staff camera, probrably come back with snaps of clacton pier all over it.

Totally uncalled for Andy, let's keep the forum decorum!
