Arrrr GOSH! Argos website goes titsup to make it EVEN BETTER

Who ya gonna call? High Street retailer apologises for blunder

UK High Street retailer Argos, which recently made a big deal of sexing up its store, is suffering from a major online outage right now.

The company coughed to the blunder just before midday by saying sorry to its customers.

However, it was a different story over on Argos' website, where it boldly proclaimed:

Sorry. We're offline right now to make our site even better. Please come back later and check out what we’ve been up to.

Call this digital?! Bring back the tiny pencils and doorstop catalogues

What is this? A pastiche of Apple's online store? No doubt, customers can't wait to fondle the shop's latest line of kettles.

Some customers said they were dismayed by Argos' lengthy sit-down.

It also appears that Argos is suffering in-store problems with its IT system, too:

The major blunder comes after Argos revamped some of its stores late last year as part of its "digital concept" strategy. ®
