I've just remembered about your seat cowl.

Pester me by PM on Friday and see if I've remembered to send it during the week. Sorry.

They are smaller than the Oxford ones, about the same capacity as a shoe box, that's before the Oxford ones are expanded, these ones are not expandable, no outside pockets, and as far as I could tell no waterproof covers. Far inferior product.

I know one of the directors at Oxprod, I'll drop him a mail.

Good idea- I emailed their customer services as well.

B1ker- no worries. Argooses fault!

Actually Peg just said that they were on Watchdog a month or so back for advertising items that were wrong sizes etc for pictures shown..ie CD case which had a picture showing a capacity of 100, but when bought it fitted less than stated, amongst others. Reckon if you go on WD website you'll find the article.

Cheers Dizz! Have emailed Watchdog too now.

I do like to kick up a stink where I can!

"I will get my Argos man to look into this. I suspect it’s Argos being lazy and not doing fresh photography/marketing for a new item."

Will be dealt with folks.
