A warning peeps if you buy a toy for anyone keep the receipt!

I bought a doctor who tardis and a set of figures for my 8 year old for xmas. I didn't keep the receipt as I didn't think I'd need it. Unfortunately thats not the case, as an uncle with altzeimers has gone and bought the same for my son.

I duly took the tardis and figures back to the store and explained my dilemma. At which I was told 'no receipt no exchange (I didn't ask for a refund). When I pointed out that the figures were exclusive to the store the (I presume) manageress relented and said I could change the figures.
When I asked if she would do the same with the tardis she flatly refused saying 'you could have bought that anywhere'!

So my little'un will now have two tardis on xmas morn and think santa has gone daft!

So folks make sure you keep your receipts and don't end up like me.
