Default Dixons and Carphone Warehouse Merger agreed new name Dixons Carphone
You want a Mobile Phone sir
take a Free 1080P 32" LED TV with it,
that could be it if they merge


http://www.theguardian.com/business/...e-merger-talks


[Dixons and Carphone Warehouse are in merger talks
that could create a FTSE 100-listed electricals giant
with a market value of £3.5bn.
Together the retailers have more than 3,150 stores
and annual sales of nearly £12bn.]

Yes but Currys is Part of Dixons
always has been.


So for you Dixons is the same as Currys or PC World


They want to take on Amazon
(but I say they will never match lower prices)


On SkyNewsHD
Eamonn Holmes talked to the CEO
and likes the idea that they will help more with getting you to be able to use things
