Pedestrian Rage

Dear Ambling Pedestrians,
Why is it certain people don’t understand the meaning of haste? When I’m walking through town I generally have a goal of where I need to go. To a meeting, work, home, to catch a bus. It makes life far simpler if you know where you’re going when you head out of [...]

I do hope you will ‘recieve’ this manfully…

Dear Wordpress,
As a new member of your complaints website, I feel it may perhaps be a little too soon to begin airing grievances directly against you. However I am reassured that, given your line of business, you will be able to take it in the spirit it is intended.
I have just completed the process [...]

Mr Weather, you are being absurd.

Dear Keeper of the Weathers,
First of all, I wish to make it clear that I do not, under normal circumstances, have any problem with you, or the work you do. Even though, living in the British Isles, it is amply evident to me (and indeed all of my countrymen) that you do not view [...]

Clarity, Hypocrisy and Vagueness

I may only be 24 years old, and I may not have a “political education” (whatever that may be. An education in ‘politics’? Would this be given at school? Or is it a kind of ‘School of Hard Knocks’ learning that you get from experience?), but what I do understand is the English Language.
Now, [...]

Sainsbury’s Chaddesden Complaint

There were three letters in total. The below is the first which gives you an explanation as to what I was complaining about, the second was much the same because I received a stock answer and the third was my juvenile way of responding to a second stock answer…

The hotel room was not cleaned enough

Thumbnail image for The hotel room was not cleaned enough

My wife and I have made a reservation for a double room in Comfort Inn of Victoria Parade from 26th Feb 2010 to 28th of Feb 2010.
We are afraid we really must complain about the hotel room that we stayed in Comfort Inn Ramsgate was not cleaned enough. We arrived at Comfort Inn around 2 [...]

Power Vagueness

I may only be 21 years old and I may not have any political education, but this is no reason for the people who run my country and no reason for the people who want to run my country to look down on me, and feel that it is their right to only tell me [...]

Complaint about the Elderly

Dear my beloved O.A.P’s,
My main complaint is about buses. Yes you get all these horror stories about yob’s setting their dog’s loose on the top deck and murdering a few children, but the elderly are the real facists of the line 280.
Firstly, you really think you own the place. Most importantly you think you own [...]

I’m in a hurry! Where’s the food?

London is the most magical city to go to! With it’s great West End shows, shops and great places to eat.
However you expect on a Friday that it’s going to be manic. After watching the delightful show Dirty Dancing as a birthday treat we left at 5:00 thinking we had time to spare. “Don’t worry [...]

‘Five Star Service’?

Dear Mr Johnson
While I admire the sentiment of ‘five star service’ at your gym, I wonder whether the young man on your reception desk at 10am this morning had actually been trained to deliver ‘no star service’ – in which case, may I confirm, that he must have passed with flying colours.
The ‘no star [...]

Sneeze on me……?

Hello Madam/gentelman/ alien from planet Zog,
I am writing to say, no i would not like to be sneezed on anymore. Because it seems that everywhere i go, someone or some people are getting ready to spurt their mucus all over my face. It isn’t nice, especially when it goes in my mouth, it tastes mostly [...]

There’s no place like Harrods

Dear Sir,
I am delighted that Harrods is celebrating the 70th Year since The Wizard of Oz was first released. I have loved the movie since I was a very young girl, losing myself in the magic and fantasy of this story. I believe that the staff in your Department Store has created a wonderful tribute [...]

Dangerous Car

Dear Mister Yakimoto,
I am writing directly to you as president of the corporation that designed and built my car to make sure this issue gets dealt with promptly. My Jason says I am lucky to be alive and I need to tell you about it so you can act now to prevent major loss of [...]

Dear Mr Halfords,
I hope that you are thoroughly ashamed of what you have done. As a result of what you did, I regret to inform you that i will, in fact, be suing you.
A couple of months ago, i came and i bought a bikr at halford’s. It was a purple bike, a children’s one. [...]

Age Indiscretion

Dear Sir/ Madam,
I recently ate at your restaurant, and I was highly disappointed with the service and food when I visited. My friends and I dined at “Café Rialto” on the 14th of March to celebrate my birthday. I was rather looking forward to my meal, as I have lunched at “Rialto” before, with my [...]

Virgin Trains’ megolomania made it worse

Dear VT,
I am writing to complain about the six hour diversion and overall poor service on Virgin Trains on Sunday 4 January.
I was travelling on the 11.55 train, as the 12.15 train I had booked had been cancelled because of the plane crash. We were told a power line failure meant the train was [...]

Bristol Sports Relief charity run SHAMBLES!

To whom it may concern,
First of all I’d like to clarify that I’m not criticising the charity itself or the participants, but the event organisers. I’ve heard poor reports from other locations but I’ll stick to what I have personally and directly experienced. Today I participated in the Bristol run (6 miles in [...]

I would like to complain about you telephone banking service.

Having recently lost access to a computer on which to use internet banking, I have had to rely on telephone banking to make enquiries and payments relating to my account.

My Nuts!

Dear Mr Sainsbury (Or Mrs although I doubt it as she would have ensured your nuts were sparkling prior to going on display)
I am writing to you regarding an experience I was unfortunate enough to endure today. Not an elderly gentleman bent over the tomatoes fingering them with his quite frankly filthy paws although [...]
