Call the Tech guys #
They did!
The tech guys are currently reformatting the servers with the default XP pro the server came with, They will then ask of the owners had a backup, at which time they will say "nothing we can do it's your problem now" and leave....

HDMI cable in store £90.
"We sell 90 a week."

The same old Dixons story.... #
Dixons bought their network gear apparently new from a famous high street retailer but found the box had been opened and the equipment already had someone else's settings......

Hmm... #
"Missing even a day's trading online will hurt the firm - it has been one of its few areas of recent growth, up nine per cent in the last half year."
That's because of their roundabout system of working:

Yes you can. It's called using your mobile to place an order via collect@store and then going to the tills and waiting a few minutes while a member of staff goes to find you item.
