Default Argos Catalogue

The loss of the Argos catalogue won't matter to me, being allergic to spending money. However, it does remind me of my daughter's Christmas list, when she would present us with that Argos catalogue, with circles drawn round any item she was hoping for, on every page!

The catalogue must cost them a fortune, I hate to think how many they print each year, probably not as many as they used to. To be honest I am surprised Argos still exists.

The end of an era but let's be honest. Which of us hasn't browsed it without coveting the latest gadget

I feel sorry for the loss of revenue at the printers, that’s a pretty good contract gone!

Since they've decided to scrap the catalogue, they really need to redo the website it's hopeless!

Bet they lose a lot of sales

Cool

I used to enjoy looking through the Argos book, especially at the things I couldn’t afford. Something else the Internet has killed off I suppose.
