Classic :-)

I know. I wanted to cry when she said that.

I took my (at the time) 4yo to the New Forest several years ago; on the
way picked up a brand new kid's MTB from ToysRUs at Southampton. After
erecting the tent I set about assembling the bike. Imagine his
disappointment when I discovered that the rear brake stay had been
welded 1" too high up and it had to go back in the box (it was their
last one).
The replacement (several weeks later) worked and still works fine, but
I have been scared off such "bargains" by the experience.
