  1. Currys Advertisements on products, for instance the laptop deals on media channels such as online, newspapers, TV builds attraction to the potential consmer. When you go to store to purchase the product offered for the price advertised you are informed about offers such as add-on software packs, antivirus and insurance. The representatives drill you to purchase the offers umpteen times even after declining the offer. Then you realise even if you opt out from these add-on offers there is still an £30 non-optional charge for what they tell you is a backup that is already on the system it took an unrealistic 6 hours to put it on and will take the same 6 hours to get it off. Even Windows installs faster and a simple backbone backup of the new system which is probably the same on all similar products is imposed on the customer. So the customer actually ends up purchasing the product for £30 extra. Is this right thing to do?
