I don't really use this blog for rants, but today after visiting Halfords I feel it is justified.
I went in looking for a replacement stick replacement for my rear view mirror. Although my car, a Peugeot 407 is very common on the roads, it was a special order.
The other thing I wanted was a couple of blind spot mirrors to stick on, I always use them, and feel blind without them.
Halfords had them, at £7.99.
I walked out. Drove home. Within 2 minutes of getting on Ebay I'd found the replacement mirror for way less than Halfords were asking. I'd also found 2 blind spot mirrors, total price including delivery £1.98.
I bought everything I needed on ebay and still had enough change from a tenner for a Mars bar!
Halfords you are rubbish, and the only reason you haven't gone under is by default because you have no serious competition in the UK.

Shopping around *after* you just bought something is the wrong way round mate :)
