Has it ever been any different? Aussies been calling us whingeing Poms for decades. Mind you, I suppose we do have a lot to moan about. Country doesn't have a lot going for it.
It pays to complain.

No need. I couldn't take any more disappointment so I've gone up to 'Super Toastie'. Only five slices in this packet.
Came home to an unopened letter from Warburtons. First thing Mrs Mottie said was "You been complaining again?". No faith! Anyway, a humble apology and five quids worth of vouchers. Winner!

You've used that word or at least one similar before in another thread.Can't see his drivel, but reading the above posts from others, Japeye's medication is wearing off. Bung the spaz on ignore, and suffer ye not his rantings. Until his next user name change.
Please don't. We have moved on since that kind of language was in common use. There are many other words you could use instead.

Hats off to an expert level complainer.
Never had much luck myself, tried to do a car warranty claim once, but after 6 months of phone calls / emailing it was clear they were not giving in.I do tend to return stuff a lot more these days though, I returned quite a few things back to amazon over christmas because of shipping damage or general crap quality and they had the cheek to send me a snotty email about the amount of returns! Not my fault they use bad couriers

What you do with car complaints is you go to the dealer. Wait until there are other customers in there, then say in a big loud voice, "I've come to complain about the car you sold me (whenever). I've only done XX miles in it and it's broken!"
Worked for me in a Citroen dealership!

It works even better if you go in at a busy time and a queue builds up behind you.
Although I don't suppose car dealerships have 'busy' times.
I'll try, but can't gaurantee not to offend in the future. Being from The 70s, half of my vocabularly is probably deemed inappropriate by someone these days. It was just common parlance in those far off, liberated times.
Though sometimes not sugar coating things or being un-pc has advantages. I once typed something on here that sent Redherring/Himmy/Bobby Dazzler/Angleyes off on one and he flounced off for some time vowing never to return. Unfortunately, like a moth to a flame, he had to return eventually under a different guise. He'll be fuming now, but I'm blissfully unaware of his drivel.

Did they reply, wow, thats impressive most of our customers only manage X miles before it breaks
I once had a vauxual, which I maintain was perfect when it left the factory and progressively fell to bits once the dealer serviced it. I don't think it ever ran properly on all 6 cylinders after the first service.
I'm not going to engage with you any further in this thread unless it's on topic.I didn't, ReganandCarter did, but that would have bypassed your 'only certain posters are not allowed to troll' filter.
Not to worry, the more of my posts exposing your (and others) racism, are deleted, the more biased the moderation is proven to be.
Grrr. Had planned to go over the allotment today to plant up my garlic. Bought some bulbs a couple of weeks ago. Went out and got them from the shed and as I picked them up they felt 'squishy'. Opened them up (they were in individual packets) only to find that all three of them were rotten! Complaints gone in, don't suppose I'll hear anything until Monday at the earliest. 
You could always try moving on - with the rest of humanity...?
Well, well, well. They must work evenings. Found this in my inbox this morning.Complaints gone in, don't suppose I'll hear anything until Monday at the earliest.
Good Evening,
Thank you for your message and I am sorry to hear about this.
I have now arranged the replacement order for you and you should expect the delivery of the replacement x3 garlic Marco shortly. As for the one that you have, please feel free to dispose of them to prevent any further inconvenience on your end.
Again, I apologise for the inconvenience and the disappointment this has caused you.
If you have any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Kind Regards,
Raiza
Its good to get a quick reply when you have a complaint. I bought quite a bit of stuff for my allotment from this supplier and I won't hesitate to buy again next year. Great customer service.
Maybe, like me, he has concerns about where humanity is heading.
Time may have moved on, but humanity hasn't. We were more positive and outward looking then - things like wanting to join the EEC to play our part and make a difference. We're now locking ourselves in and allowing politicians to drive negative agendas and make us (or try to in my case) to live on one big guilt trip. Don't use any resources, accept unlimited immigration or you're racist, eat plant based, don't own a car, don't fly, but fair trade, recycle everything, etc, etc - constant propaganda and conditioning - while our leaders laugh and do the opposite.
I'm happy as an unreconstructed dinosaur.
