Went back today, none of the correct one in stock, but can get it for Tuesday, which I declined as I wont get to the branch before it shuts during the week.
I asked how can his data base know a) its the wrong one, b) what is the right one and c) how is it different to the online data base?
His answer said it all...the online one isnt that accurate!.
Did explain the two people getting refunds/exchanges yesterday whilst I was there.
This may have been said on the forum before, so sorry if this is going over old ground, but if they get a filter that wrong,what chance do they have for major parts?

I hope you feel better for having had the rant.
I suspect the two databases are in fact a single database, but the agent view of the database displays a lot more information about alternative fitments on a single model. This is a common approach with databases.
Personally, I am pleased for you that your problems in life are so little that an occurrence such as this requires a rant on a public forum.
In my life, an occurrence such as this would not even register on the "rant justified/needed" scale given the scale of my life's problems.. I envy you.
