what is second hand?

[chesters1]

i was patiently waiting in Argos the other day ,when a lady returned an item (under the 16 day return policy) after she got her refund and left i enquired what happened to the goods , the salesperson said they were checked an if ok put back on the shelf , i asked how much discount there was on the item if i wanted to buy it ,he said none!!!!

Surely if they sell that item again its second hand

it has already had one owner ,so can anyone tell me the legal term of new and second hand??????

Chesters - you haven't revealed the half of it. Consider your water supply.

 

You get charged for your waste water and sewage being taken away from your house - these people recycle it , and either they or another company charge you more money to supply this water back to you via your taps.

 

Second-hand ? You should be so lucky - it is said the average glass of Lower Thames Valley water has been through seven sets of human kidneys already !

 

You quite rightly raised the point re dissolved oestrogens in tap water on another thread (coarse-fish forum) - I think you may have hit a nail on the head here - and its increased sevenfold by recycling - frightening isn't it?

 

I'm just glad the bulk of our local water comes from a borehole, but I'm sticking to whisky or wine to make sure

unfortunatly even the boreholes may not be safe ,any waste tips around? do they seep into the ground water????? they may not be classed as toxic dumps ,but whose to say what goes into them!
