Went to buy a couch from Plush, was told there'd be a 3 mths waiting period 
for it to be made in China! Bought an entertainment unit from Freedom, 2 
months waiting, WTF??
If I could buy online, I'd have got it sooner from China AND cut out the 
middle man. Is there a law to stop retailers selling items they dont 
actually STOCK in this country or what?
