    In theory they are, but in practice you have to claim it from the administrators, or take them to court for a refund. At that point, as they are already in administration, you would become a creditor like all the others and so would probably not get a full refund. That's why they direct you to the manufacturer - they will repair or replace as necessary so you won't lose out.

    Like donga says, be careful when buying goods from shops under administration.

    As for the main article, that's just standard from the Mail. Pretty sure they did a full story a couple of years ago when Rio went on a caravan holiday rather than going to Barbados or some other. Does anyone actually care?!?

  2. Sorry, I should have just said 'the article is bollox and the journalist should be ashamed that he (or she) as nothing better to do with their time' <ok>

    How can anyone get upset by this article? It's a non story "inspired" by one of the dullest tweets in history.

    I also see that the Express are suggesting that Chelsea are trying to nick Suarez off us.

    Laughable! As if we're going to be selling our best (and practically only) striker!<doh><doh>.

    Even if the interest was genuine -- I'm taking it with a pinch of salt, as it is journalism, after all! -- they're going to have to be shelling out Torres/Ronaldo-type money if they have any hope of landing our current best player.

    I moved house last year and bought £1,500 worth of carpets from Floors to go, they went bust before delivering and I spent a year chasing the administrators looking for a refund and I haven't received a penny. really ****ed me off. luckily we had the money to spend the same again on carpet from another company. My wife also won over a grand a couple of months ago at Bingo so we now look at that as Karma's refund

    Brand new contract, player genuinely loves the club - you can see from his body language that he does and his daughters name is an anagram of Anfield plus his general worth... you're looking at at least £70m + a contract of about £150k a week - that money with a manager who is actually quite shrewd would see us completely re-design our squad

    although i'd rather keep Suarez thanks

    I have a happy carpet story to recount. When I was still with Mrs Collider and the children, we had a pet hamster. It lived in one of those stacking towers. It had a hole in the floor which had a bung in it. Overnight, the little twat got the bung out and dug a perfectly circular hole through the carpet and underlay. I went fu.king mad.

    later, I called the insurance company. I started with "I bet you've heard this before, but you're not going to believe me". The woman laughed and I went on to explain what had happened. I explained that I had some friends who had their own carpet retail and fitting business and I could get a good deal. She said if it was below a certain figure, £750, we could go ahead with a written quote from them. The lads came in to have a look at it. They asked me if I had any offcuts. I did and they managed to patch it up so well that you couldn't see there had been a hole. It cost a tenner and two pints each. A couple of weeks later, I still hadn't had the cheque for £700, so I called them. I got passed to a manager. She began by explaining that having looked at my policy, I wasn't actually covered for the animal damage done. However, my original call had been recorded in which the woman told me I was covered. Three days later, I received a cheque for £700. Poetry <ok>

    Contact the Daily Mail about this - they will probably do a follow up article

    Long shot, but did you pay via credit card? If so your credit card company is liable for the full amount - suggest you get on the blower to them asap if so.

    Nope... Debit Card... and we're not covered - we tried that avenue. The bank said our only hope was to chase the issue through the administraitors
