Well you didnt expect them just to fill there shelfs with stock (that wont sell for months) just for you to spend £20 now would you.amsie wrote:I felt "disappointed" when I visited Hattons for the first and last time.

No, they said they didn't have anyone to take us to have a look.Jonny wrote:Sorry, I don't understand why you couldn't have a look round the second-hand section. Is it really cramped or something?
When is it that you were at Hatton's? I was there back in 2004 and it was that way then, but I was there in May of 2011 and it was full of all new display units and the staff there were very friendly and helpful. It is not full of shelves of items that are handled by lots of previous customers, so one has to look at items in the display shelves before getting a boxed item to see, but personally, I didn't have a problem with that. I agree it's not like in the old days, but I was quite please when I was there. It was well worth my trip over from the States.amsie wrote:I felt "disappointed" when I visited Hattons for the first and last time.

So off we went, asked about the second hand section, and they said if we wanted to have a look we would have to come back friday, as there not a chance we could today, even when they was a few of us wanting to look! I also felt one of the staff members wasn't very public friendly! To be honest, the rest of the shop is that impressive, and is fairly standard, however, abolutley everything nearly is behind glass, even boxed wagons and coaches, so you cannot really browse and only sutible for people who know what they want.
