the Ryanair school of buying a washing machine

Anyone bought a large appliance (fnar) lately?

You buy the appliance for £xxx
You pay a delivery charge of £xx
You pay a connection fee of a further £xx
you can pay an additional 'scrap' fee of £xx to take old faithful away

sharp practice or wot? and having paid the first 3 sums, could I get the van men to move my old washer up 6 steps so the council can come and take it away? (and there was no option for me to pay for that). Jobsworths, grrr!

And you didnt run this by me first Debs? After all the money i saved you on the bathroom stuff too?
Silly moo

But yeh i agree, lots of retailers and not just the web based ones pull this ploy and it shouldnt be allowed imho, its false advertising to a degree but according to the letter of the law they've done nothing wrong have they
