Puzzled

We were driving along the M62 this morning and passed a sign saying 'Bradford Tourist Attractions.'
'Isn't that an oxymoron?' I said to Jan.
The only tourist attraction that I'm aware of in Bradford is Mumtaz and, whilst Bradford isn't that far away, I see that they have opened one in Leeds, so I hope to visit soon. Probably next week. Yum yum, really good curry.


Anyway, we're in the market for new garden furniture (see, we are optimists) so, after not finding what we wanted on-line, we popped into Homebase in Harrogate. We found what we wanted and tried to buy it.
'Sorry you can't order it, it's out of stock,' we were told.
'OK, I'll buy the display model,' I said.
'Sorry, we can't sell that yet.' they said.
'Excuse me, I'm trying to buy something from you costing several hundred pounds. You have something on display that can neither be ordered or purchased. I must be missing something but what's the point of keeping it on display?'
Then, to piss me off even further, I got the Gallic shrug.
'We'll call you next week,' they said.
Something tells me they won't last long.
