Big W = 10 weeks lay-by, default if no payment within 14 days (a bit longer
in practice) of last payment. Although the christmas conditions may be a
little different. But it's safe to assume that there is no unclaimed stock
sitting aroundout the back by now, especially as we had a stocktake early Feb.
