    Re: DSG International preparing to tumble out of FTSE 100

    I've noticed DSGi adverts on telly over the last few months advertising systems with Pentium D processors and the likes... a sign, from where I'm stood at least, that they're struggling to shift stockpiles.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Good riddance to them. You treat customers like dirt, this is what happens.

    Heh. Like most big companies they have good people and bad working for them, and I have to admit I have been grateful to pay their shocking prices on occasion since it's hard to source e.g. a PSU at 7pm on Saturday from anyone else.

    However, having said all that I'm still doing the snoopy dance since their whole corporate approach stinks, IMO. Next step a buyout from some turnaround specialist?

    the corporation stinks, and the workforce is encouraged to lie and make up things in an effort to score sales from the unsure and unknowing

    i welcome their imminent flushing

    There's good and bad people at DSG or any other big corporation. I have yet to meet any of the former at my local Currys or PCWorld.
