has anyone had items exchanged or money back from ALDI in Sheffield or anywhere locally---without a receipt. I must say I had my money back for a pair of golf shoes which had a fault from the store at the end of the Moor I must admit I was refused initially by the staff but wrote to there headquarters in WestBrom and they sent me a letter to instruct the manager to repay me. I have just had a similar incident at Worksop ,when last year I bought a set of Christmas lights which when put up this year had a fault on the blue ones not lighting---once again refused by staff and again wrote to ALDI head office who said they could not exchange them without a receipt====despite me showing photos of the price on the box and also the warranty registration card with the 3 year guarantee-----Looking on the internet at advise when not having a receipt I have given them enough proof of purchase that may be necessary for such a claim , I usually keep receipts for years but buying from a supermarket the till roll is about 2ft long and easily forgotten about----Welcome any serious advise

Quince Harmon versus Beach Boys
wagginfinger replied to wagginfinger's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
just picked up on my thread and noticed "trans" has a live performance of the boys at Smithywood--I was most probably there as it was my club-------Is there any chance of an upload to You Tube ?--thanks for all comments -
The past 2 Fridays on BBC4 came up with programs both of which lorded the praises of the Good Vibrations by Brian Wilson in making this epic for the Beach Boys--this was crafted by splicing and over laying multi tracks---a feat we were told took some 92 hours This got to reminding me of one of Sheffield's top groups from the 60s/70s Quince Harmon who did this song live to perfection an -absolutely brilliant version also I seem to recall them being regulars on radio 2 with Dave Lee Travis featuring groups daily Final thought when the group finished their first set with A touch of velvet and a sting of brass ------ great times in the clubs----
