Argos remove catalogues from stores to "test demand"



"Sheena Hendry said it was "astonishing" that there were no catalogues to pick up from an Argos in the Highland capital.
In a message to the business on Facebook, she said she was disappointed that there appeared to be plans to phase them out.
She said: "Do you even realise how many hours of peace and quiet that catalogue gives to parents of young children who sit flicking through the toy section?"

There's no "v=", though. In true British fashion, there's a "q" . . .

Are you trying to post the url to the YouTube search results page rather than the url of the page with the actual clip?
