Wheres my Order? Or Refund? or Contact?

I ordered a Nintendo Wii for Delivery on the 23rd December 2010 for my mother as her christmas present and paid the extra £5.00 odd for it to be delivered between 1pm and 3pm that day. My Mother waited in from 10am till 7pm that day for the goods to arrive and got a text [...]

Vigin Media Ruining my life

Dear Top level brass\Mr Berkett\Secretary, I’ve never been a Virgin customer until recently, I always heard such bad things about you guys, the customer service is terrible, it’s unreliable, you can’t understand them when they speak to you. I thought it was all a load of rubbish in the end, I didn’t think any company [...]

I’ve only ever won a measly tenner

Dear Camelot, I feel it’s time I wrote to you concerning your national lottery because I’ve been doing it for many years and all I’ve ever won was a paltry ten quid,why is this the case when you have paid out millions of pounds to other people ? I go to Mr Patel’s newsagents twice [...]

Complaint on Bingo Adverts

I am probably not alone when i write this complaint. I have had a severe gambling problem over the last several months and have had a lot of support from my family and general practitioner to overcome the addiction. However, the addiction is very hard to overcome especially when all you see on television are [...]

I have been a sky customer for over 8 years and subscribed to Sky at my previous address. When I moved home I cancelled the sky subscription. I did not carry this on to my new house as I had to stay with my mum for a month. I then subscribed again at my new [...]

TV – a mixed blessing

Television! I can’t even see the wretched thing at the moment because I’m in another room, but I can hear it – a squeaky voice – somebody pretending to be Mickey Mouse or Snow White or something diddums ickle. And here am I – a frustrated genius – or frustrated letter-writer, anyway – trying to [...]

Tat in the TV Guide

To the publisher of ‘What’s on TV’, Would you please explain why, each week, my telly magazine is full of flyers and bogus bingo cards? I want to buy a guide to the week’s televisual delights, not a JML reject catalogue full of heated slippers and gnomes that glow in the dark. I pluck ‘What’s [...]

Christmas Television

Dear Christmas Television Programmers I am writing from my hospital bed to voice my complaint about the quality of the programmes broadcast on television over the 2009 Christmas period which were extremely poor to say the least, and a complete waste of licence payer’s money. Apart from the usual Soaps, ‘Dr Who’ and ‘The Royale [...]

I love Commercials. *Cough*

Dear Commercial Makers, Why do you do this to us? Why do you have to put commercials in the middle of battle scenes or even in programs which are only 30 minutes anyway. But no, you can’t leave us in peace and let us finish the program, because of course, you have to stick in [...]

Dear ‘Twilight’ Fans, I’m so good to you normally. When you’re all crowded around me fervently debating the pros and cons of Team Edward and Team Jacob, I grit my teeth and internally declare my love for Team Jo (J. K. Rowling for all you deprived Muggles). I bite my tongue whenever I feel the [...]

The description of the show advertised on your website was as follows: ‘This high energy concert [...]

Celebrity Onslaught

Am I the only person on the planet who has not been hoodwinked by the phenomenon that is the ‘celebrity’ entertainment show? Every time I switch the TV on celebrities are cooking, dancing, skating, eating grubs in the jungle, crying, begging for our ‘all important’ votes, and/or plugging their latest book. I tell you I’m [...]

Sky TV Complaint

Thumbnail image for Sky TV Complaint

I complain on behalf of all Sky t.v viewers who like myself get billed for the endurance of endless repeats. Even my 3yr old complains about the same children’s episodes repeated continuously. Christmas t.v viewing with Sky is also predictable to the extent that you could write the viewing guide yourself based on previous years [...]
