chrismuzz Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 [quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1395243657' post='2400132'] The thing is a lot of shop/office workers will fall for it and capitulate. Fair enough, lose £2.50 for good customer relations, but £117 x 10 units! Not going to happen [/quote] You can bet I wouldn't honour it!

bassace Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Funny that, I bought a Phil Jones cab from Bass Direct. At 24 lbs I thought it would be good for my poor old back. It seemed bloody heavy so I sold it on to a BCer who weighed it and told me it was 29lbs min. Should I have owned up and offered to pay BD for the extra poundage? I'm sure one of our law students (mature) will be able to advise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is my considered opinion that you should sue either Bass Direct for selling you the cab at the quoted weight, and/or the manufacturer for making it heavier than they said it would be. The extra strain on your back , and therefor your relationships, caused by that additional five pounds in weight is almost incalculable, but may be worth a few quid or maybe just some free stickers and a t- shirt.

cheddatom Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I once bought a double quarter pounder with cheese but the whole sandwich only weighed half a pound. There was definitely cheese and a bun, they can't have weighed nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingus Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) [quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1395242488' post='2400111'] You'd get a few sandwiches for £117! No Tesco big eat chicken and stuffing though, they're long gone, never to be seen again [/quote] [quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1395245193' post='2400157'] Why did Tesco stop doing the big chicken and stuffing wedge? It had loads of mayo and the stuffing was some sort of pork, sage, onion etc. It was my post gig snack of choice. I replaced it with a 4 pack of ale. I've considered suing tescos for causing my liver damage but that's probably pushing my luck a bit far. When you buy a pre-packed sandwich with onion, it has spring onion or red onion. When you buy a freshly made sandwich you get big chunky bits of white onion. I want fresh, but I don't want to stink for 2 days! The sausage sandwich is without a doubt the greatest culinary creation ever made, but to really pull it off, you need a good sausage. Why do no sandwich shops use decent sausages?!? There's one locally to me which is next door to a butchers, but she buys massive bags of cheap frozen sausages which basically taste like cardboad. [/quote] If you are this disappointed by sandwiches that don't deliver what you had hoped for , just wait 'til you get married. And then there is no one to blame or chase for a refund except yourself. Also, there is no such thing as a "good" sausage...

Platypus Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) Was that close to having a sandwich on Denmark street on Monday - though wondered across the road to Ray's Jazz cafe (in Foyles bookshop) and had a panini there. Cost me more that £2.99 though. Edited March 19, 2014 by Platypus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skankdelvar Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I went into Tesco's one time and they'd mis-priced their sandwiches at a pound less than they should have been. So I bought sixteen of them and sold them on at the right price, thus furnishing myself with the funds to buy a chromatic tuner. You know the rest.
