Well done him. There is the one thing that BUGS me about Ireland and the UK. People are happy to stand in line and whinge instead of sitting down, thinking out the problem and going to the top.

He thinks if it ruffles feathers you can't say what's on your mind. Of course, as you did, I ignore him and tell or write anything I want. Which usually gets me called B ch you fill it in. Once again I can take it and I can give it... Good job....we must be birds of a feather....

I haven't perfected it but Adam is the ultimate consumer advocate and has managed to gain free repair of a faulti iPod, an entire DrumKit (promised as the price for a competition win but not initially delivered) and a number of other items. He's the sort that will bargain with the shop and ask for a lower price for cash and has no problem complaining if the quality isn't up to scratch. I received some flowers in hospital from my mother in law and they died the next day. I didn't have the heart to tell her but should have said something to the florist. Good for you for standing your ground and I like your photographing the flowers idea. Complaining is a fine art.

And, your idea of taking pictures of flowers you receive is wonderful. People usually wonder about the condition of flowers they send, and this is a good way to reassure them.

Anytime I get flowers particularly from someone far away, I take a photo of them and email it with my thanks. That way the sender sees exactly what I have received. Nancy that was brilliant!

Grannymar.. You did the right thing. It is like when someone spends a lot of money to send you flowers and they arrive and are AWFUL! The person who spent a great deal of money deserves to know that the quality of the flowers was not up to par. They should be told so that they have the opportunity to have the price adjusted.. Did you ever hear about the guy who was flying from New York to Los Angeles on United Airlines and he saw a cockroach on the plane? He wrote a letter of complaint to the CEO of United Air Lines. About a week later he received a letter from United that said. Dear Sir, We regret that you had a problem with a cockroach on our flight 345 from New York To Los Angeles. Please be advised that the entire crew of that flight has been dismissed from the service of UAL. The pilot, co pilot, all flight Attendants have been let go. Please continue to fly United in the knowledge that this will never happen again and an all new housekeeping staff has also been hired. Sincerely, Richard B. Brown UNITED AIR LINES Chicago,IL "Well, that's more like it", thought the guy who had complained. He refolded the letter and began to put it back in the envelope when he noticed an Interoffice memo that someone had accidently left in the envelope. It was from Richard B. Brown to his secretary and said: "Send this son of a bitch the cockroach letter." Good for you. Grannymar.. You did the right thing.

“Well, that’s more like it”, thought the guy who had complained. He refolded the letter and began to put it back in the envelope when he noticed an Interoffice memo that someone had accidently left in the envelope.
