Not as bad as that stupid woman doctor they used to have on breakfast time TV - who said that you should only buy boiler parts from a CORGI registered CH merchant

Which rules out a considerable number of CORGI fitters...

Re Wickes's toilet seat, 404524

I have just tried fitting one of these. What a piece of inexcusable garbage.

The fittings bear no similarity to the diagram, and cannot be securely fitted. I wasted an hour or two trying to make it fit. I wasted time and petrol going to the Wickes store to buy it and wasted more time taking it back. It is utter rubbish. Obviously no-one at Wickes has tried to assemble one of these.

I sent an e-mail to Wickes to complain (wasting more time) and they replied thus;

"We are sorry to hear that you have experienced problems with a product from Wickes.

Please return your product to your local store.

Kind Regards,"

It would have been courteous if they had offered some explanation as to why they had sold such tat, stated that they would remove it from sale, or if they had offered some recompense for my time and money they have wasted. They did none of these things. It seems they have no quality control and are content to sell rubbish, knowing that many purchasers will not have kept the receipt or they will be unable to afford the time to return it and stand in a queue of similarly irate customers waiting for the clueless Mac-job staff to get around to handing their money back.

So, my tip is to avoid Wickes products like a virulent plague and go to a proper Builders' merchants. My local branch is near both Screwfix and Selco, so I'll go there in future.

You can print that tip, I'm so glad you asked. Wickes must be so pleased with the results of your endeavours, Spamming c*ut.

That reminds me of the customer who did not pay and I told him I would remove the parts I fitted in his house. He laughed and said he had a Rotweiller. I asked if the customer if it could use a fire extiguisher.
