Dixons is the best price I can find for a Sony 26S2010U LCD at £606. This is actually £656+de l. I have discount codes that give free delivery and £50 off £500.

The next best price I can find (and I have used AV Forum and price comparison sites) is £628 + £20 del. Also there is a charge for '9 months interest free credit' finance of £25.

Dixons finance has no £25 fee and is 12 month interest free credit.

I make that as a saving of £67. Worth having IMO.

For some strange reason I've never considered getting a loan and then paying cash. Is it easy enough to get say £600 from a bank on a similar interest free basis?

ANYHOO

I'm going to try to order this again tomorrow. Only this time I'm going to use my full name. I've been using my shortened name and I just realised. Obviously this kind of thing could confuse a computerised credit check. This would definately tie in with me not being on the Electoral Roll I think.

I'm actually pretty hopeful. I'll report back tomorrow.
