hugh Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 Nothing worse than the rotten egg smell from a modern car in a garage, makes your eyes waterđ·đ· Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglefire Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 My spitfire smelt of petrol at one point. Canât remember why now, but I think it was perished fuel lines.  But had to seal every hole in the wall between the garage and house - including the roof joists, it was so bad. the smell has gone now though.   but the very worst smell was when I was a student. One of the guys had very smelly feet.  Even freshly washed they could kill a budgy at 20paces. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougbgt6 Posted December 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 Halfords emailed me âWhat do you think of the purchase of your new battery?â Your system stinks? Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what I buy these days someone wants a review of it. I was even asked for a review of a chocolate bar... Stena Line sent me a survey concerning my trip to Stratford in August. "Why did you take Stena Line Ferries?" I replied: "Because my car won't fit on the plane...."  4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted December 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 Before I ordered from Halfords I enquired at Euro Car Parts, who deliver most everywhere, except NI, obviously đ But Berwick upon Tweed was also a no no. I then got 5 successive emails saying âWe know youâre interested, buy it, buy it, buy it!â I replied to each âI canât because you wonât deliver!â đĄ Whatâs the point in giving feedback if they take no notice?

dougbgt6 Posted December 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 And another thing, I bought a burglar alarm kit from Amazon for motherâs house.The picture clearly showed two door sensors, but when it came there was only one. The kit was correct, Amazonâs picture was wrong, so complained. A month later I get a âWhat do you think of your purchase?â email with the same two sensor picture. đĄ Nobody listens!!! db Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 add to the review requests the scam phone calls about how are you and a need for a survey ...Noooo !!! i did a review on Daishes in Llandudno as there were no spoons to serve the veggy, the reply was from them about problems at totally different hotel in eastbourne maybe thats why its burnt down knowbody listens.and  they dont read them Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglefire Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 I did a review on the apartment I was staying in when I was down the smoke for the last couple of weeks. Somehow it was rated as "Good" - but given its actually very hard to give a bad one since there is only one option of less than good and 3 for good or better, its bias. Still I did write some words that did give more detail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted December 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Halfords sent me a message today. âThank you for your feedback regarding your recent purchase, your review has been moderated and cannot be published as it does not follow our web site guidelinesâ I didnât swear, I wasnât rude, I was conciliatory, I just explained what happened and suggested they change their procedure. But no, it canât be told. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppyman Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 No surprise there Doug...... Try leaving a review on Trust pilot or Feefo? I think you will get a result then? I left scathing reviews about qwik-fit... ( i know) but having a lease car had to use them :( They were on the phone within a couple of hours asking me why???

Paul H Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 I bought a battery for my Vitesse from Halfrauds . When fitting I noticed the carry handles were missing . I rang to complain and was told handles were optional đ± Luckily the old handles fitted so completed the negative feedback which was never published Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vitesse has negative earth and just like the current negative comments go to ground đ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
