Griff will deliver an evening of laughter from forty years of travelling - through family, manhood and the world itself. He has been down rivers and up mountains - literally into Africa, out of India and across oceans in Three Men and A Boat, Mountains, Rivers and other adventures.
Where Was I? promises to be a riotous ride around the world. And all without the help of Bear Grylls.

A warranty is extra to the protections in the Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA) and can’t override or replace these. This means a retailer can't just say you're out of luck because the warranty period has ended.
The CGA says that products have to be of an acceptable quality which means they must be fit for purpose (or do what they're made to do), last for a reasonable amount of time, be safe, and be free from any minor defects. What is “acceptable quality” is based on what you could reasonably expect taking into account things like the nature of the goods, what you paid for them, and any particular statements made about the goods.
If you have a problem with something you’ve bought and the warranty period has ended, you might still be entitled to have it repaired or replaced. Check out our information on your rights as a consumer or phone CAB on 0800 367 222.
