the bbq…

So we decided to get some outdoor recreation stuff since summer is on it’s way now, and whats more social than a bbq and a pool? So down to the warehouse we went. We found an awesome little paddling pool and a little gas bbq. I looked around the shop and grabbed the only gas bottle I could find – a 9kg one.

Since the intention was to have a bbq that night and perhaps invite our friends Elliot and Hillary around for a drink and a hot dog, I decided to ask the clerk at the checkout whether the gas bottle would fit on the bbq, he said it would so off we went. I filled the gas bottle on the way home at the gas station.

By the time we made it home the sun was dropping behind the hills and it was a bit cold to have a swim so I set up the bbq to get it ready for dinner. Only when I got to attaching the gas bottle I found that it didn’t fit! I called up the warhouse to ask if they had a part that would make it work- they didn’t. Instead they told me that I should have bought a 2kg bottle for that bbq! I would have loved to! I explained what happened to them and that it was all their fault and they told me that they would accept a return of the full gas bottle and replace it with a 2kg bottle when they get more in stock. 5 days later still nothing. apparently they will have some in today sometime.

Last time I shop at a place like that! they ruined my dinner plans!
