What's next?:

"Hi, I'd like to buy a car please.... Yes of course I want fucking wheels".

You say that but my mate just spent £2700 on a bicycle and didn't find out until it was delivered that it didn't come with pedals or tyres on the wheels.

hah. A) yes, trading standards B) the newspaper is always a good one too

and C) I've taken to SLAMMING places like that on google reviews, tripadvisor, foursquare, any medium I can find and making it abundantly clear what my experience was, don't know how well that works in your area, but I live in an university town and those cool kids read their takeaway reviews around here and act accordingly.

before I finished uni, start of the year, someone had a run in with the canteen staff because frankly their food was inedible - cold, undercooked, we all told them to take it back and get a refund... they were refused a refund.. the next day they were picketing the place and not a single person (including staff lol) bought food in the canteen all day long.


Word of advice, don't just do negative reviews. Persistently negative reviewers end up being ignored.

My advice is to hack into their wifi from a car outside the shop and do some seriously questionable internetting. CP, bomb supplies, the works. Then drive away and await the fun.

You could always buy sims 3, create yourself, then create the house in question, give the guy a wife, bang that wife, burn their house down and steal their dog.

All completely legal and slightly as satisfying :p

I do plenty of average and good reviews :) and occasionally I find somewhere truly fucking awesome, and make sure everyone knows about it lol

Got a reply from citizens advice

"Based on the information you have provided the key legal points in response to your enquiry are as follows:
UK law suggests that if you can demonstrate that the trader has failed to comply with any agreement you both reached during pre-contractual negotiations (discussions held between yourself and trader before you completed the purchase); you may hold the trader in ‘breach of contract’ and pursue them for a suitable form of redress.
What you may seek is dependent on the severity of the breach. To clarify, if the breach is serious, you may seek to end the contract and claim a pro rata refund of any monies already paid; whereas if the breach is minor, it may be more appropriate to claim an amount of damages that would reflect the nature of the breach.
Therefore at this stage, you could try to discuss the matter further with the trader, with reference to the above information. However if you are unable to reach an amicable compromise, you could take a more formal approach and send the trader a recorded delivery letter. The letter should outline any relevant events regarding this issue and make it clear, what you expect from the trader and why. It should also give the trader a reasonable timeframe in which to respond to your claim(s) e.g. 14 days. It is also worth retaining a copy of the letter and the recorded delivery receipt provided by the post office."

Problem now is do I send the recorded letter to him which will likely cost more than I want to claim back for my aunt or just suck it up and forget about it, I really want to piss him off for being a cunt to an OAP that's the problem.

Do it. Ask for their response and refund in writing within 14 working days.
If they dont respond, I'm very happy to help fill in a Small Claims Court form for a refund!

Find their kids, beat them up, then call child protective services on THE PARENTS. They will lose their children. Then you wait 15 years and send them a letter with a photo of you and your adopted grown up children saying "fuck you. no bun? I stole your kids, you cunts".

Totally reasonable and proportionate.

You are clearly going to live for a very very long time, because for me life is waaaay to short to waste time with this bollocks. In fact I can't believe I just wasted 45 seconds typing this post, and 2 minutes reading this thread.

Feel as if this thread has run its course. So, how's the weather down there?
