BAZZO Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Having occasion to visit the Argus store on The Moor for a Max and Molly Activity Boot (which promises catlovers hours of endless hide and seek fun and play)I could not help noticing the amazing purchases of my fellow shoppers.Mums were staggering out with sheds and conservatories.Dads were buying chain saws,hot tubs and fully-fitted kitchens.And pensioners -bless 'em -were loading their trollies with Dolphin Picture toilets seats which come complete with easily-assembled fittings. As regular shoppers will appreciate, this Argos does not seem to have any formal display area -the goods all appear from behind a screen like a conjuring act. Later I popped around the back of the store -half expecting to discover a massive warehouse - but aside from a street drinker and a few cardboard boxes -nothing. Unless anyone knows differently I suspect that Argos has a massive subterranean kingdom beneath our city linked to its outlets at Angel St,Crystal Peaks,Meadowhall and The Moor.Perhaps employing hundreds of illegal immigrants and Polish plumbers churning out hot-tubs,bidets and novelty activity centres for cats.This is something our investigative hacks on the local paper should be checking out before matters come to a head.

hollymai Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Angel Street have a huge cellar with their stock in. They also have a stockroom behind the collection points too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desy Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Tell you what Argos must when you have to pay for delivery because they have not got it in stock. When you could take it home if they had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuff Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Argos don't stock sheds, conservatories or hot-tubs in their stores - they are for home delivery only. As far as I'm aware, the company hasn't expanded into fully-fitted kitchens yet - you'll have to go to Homebase for those (Homebase is owned by GUS, the same people that own Argos). Trollies are also not available for customer use in Argos stores. As other poster have said, the Moor has a large stockroom in the basement, with Angel Street having 2 stockrooms - a much bigger basement and one behind the collection counters.

Fareast Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 This is quite exciting ! I think Mr. Bazzo may have stumbled upon one of those bizarre mysteries , the like of which Sherlock Holmes used to solve after " three pipes of strong shag ". This may be only happening [ or appear to be happening ? ] at Argos but what if the situation spreads ? Imagine , now , standing outside Morrison 's . Hundreds of people lurch and stagger out , every hour , their trollies overflowing with fast food and cream cakes . Then , you take a peek through the door and see that the shop is only in fact 10 meters deep . Your breath would be taken away . It is possible that there is a parallel world operating beneath our pavements , staffed by people from far off countries ------but how will we ever know the truth unless someone like The Star investigates it ? Well done , Mr. Bazzo ! This could be the beginning of something akin to Watergate or at least the mystery of The Red-Headed League . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick2 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I think they teleport each item in from their home planet Argoso IV, in the E-Duke nebula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveUK Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 ARGUS m Greek Mythology (Latinized) Derived from Greek argos meaning "glistening, shining". In Greek myth this name belongs to both the man who built the Argo and a man with a hundred eyes. The plot thickens and i found the H.Q maybe the Potal Center. Or where the Argos Main Stargate is http://homepage.mac.com/cparada/GML/Argos.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
