I m getting a bit cheesed off with all the companies I ve bought Christmas gifts off demanding I do a review
I can’t do a review they are Christmas presents!!! how do I know if they are any good or not why can’t they wait till after Christmas to ask you to review them It’s just putting my back up and giving me cause to keep binning stuff daily

I'd actually put them on and was about to leave for work and thought, that's off the lace up thing is different at the top..and then I looked again and I thought, they look a different colour.....then tuned them over and s l o w l y thought ^they are not the same shoe^

You can't buy anything or use any service without an immediate demand to review it or rate it or "How did we do?" If you bought it from Amazon, you get emails recommending it as your next purchase. Why? Do they expect it to have worn out already and need replacing?

If you as much as look at anything online, or take a glance at any website, you get messages encouraging you to come back and buy, buy, buy. It is like being mobbed as you enter a bazaar as a tourist.

I bought Advent calendars (teabags) as presents. I've had 2 requests for reviews, but it's November!! Don't they understand what an Advent calendar is?

Loving this thread!!

My daughter wear special ‘legs’ to help her at airports. She wears them with trainers and puts them on in the departure lounge. In February 2020, we were about to board our flight and she got her trainers out - one black, one white!! Thank goodness a right and a left or we’d have been in trouble!

My daughter has regular daily visits by the district nurses, and every day we get about 4 phone calls with a recorded voice asking for our opinion on their services. I answered twice, after that I`ve just hung up each time, it`s getting ridiculous.

Actually they do have preferences. Beef tripe and duck is favourite. But they haven’t worked out how to use the keyboard - one of them stole the mouse and gave it a good chew.

I do read the reviews before buying anything so in turn I do leave reviews.

It's not as tasty as a real mouse.
Granddog loves fish but then wants to cosy up with his smelly breath!

We love them really - except when they want to play in the snow at 6.30 on Sunday morning
