    Conversation apparently went something like this:

    Mrs B: Can you take it upstairs for me?
    Argos: No Mrs, if it's over 50 KG we won't even attempt it.
    Mrs B: Well you might as well take it back then, because there's no way me and my husband can do it.
    Argos: Well let's just get it in the door, and we'll have a look.

    ...

    Argos: We can't even get it in the door.
    Mrs B: Well you can definitely take it back then!
    Argos: Let's have another go.

    ...

    Argos: Which room did you say you wanted it in again.
    Mrs B: The back bedroom on the left.
    Argos: Ok.

    ...

    Mrs B: I bet you're hot lugging that upstairs aren't you?
    Argos: A bit, yeah.
    Mrs B: Do you want a cold drink?
    Argos: OK, that'd be nice.

    ...

    Argos: There you go Mrs, all delivered upstairs into the bedroom for you.
    Mrs B: Thanks alot Argos! Here have a can of coke each for your trouble.
    Argos: Thanks Mrs. Bye then.


    "a can of coke each for your trouble"

    Never underestimate the power of Mrs B. to get what she wants
    Pretty much as I predicted it then.
