Heh well I did say as much.

Indeed certain stores of a certain group don't have the best in after-care  
service. It may cost a little more now, but it can often make the  
difference.

Obviously on commission :-P

Actually I'm not bad at wrapping various shapes up having had large  
amounts of practice when young, sometimes it can be fun as in when I  
wrapped up a round tin in two sheets of paper (simple silver foil and a  
translucent gold) to make it look like a giant toffee.
