Oh dear Wilko, I was only trying to be nice, :-) :-).

[IanSmithCSE]

Good afternoon,

I recently bought some rear bike lights from Wilko and was genuinely mostly impressed by them.

So I thought that I would add a review.

Sadly my review was rejected, (I have added the review inside the red border to the rejection message.)



.... but it is not enough for one direction of the commute so I have to use the next level down.......

I used the word next which is the name of a competitor.

So can anyone come up with anything more dumb that is even more likely to irritate a customer?

Bye

Ian

Lol !

Hmm, hardly the closest of competitors, either. I don't think the Next sell any cycling equipment, do they?

Not cycling specific, but they do have their own range of active wear and sell third party stuff (online only for that I believe).

That's the only reason I can think it would have flagged it up, but it is weird!

Wilko in St. Helens are being nice. They're inviting all their customers to get their kit off. Not only that, but they will help you to do it

Back in the deepest darkest early days of the internet coming to my office in 1999 I worked for a large insurance company.
Access to the World Wide Web was strictly limited and you couldn’t search up names like Arsenal FC or Scunthorpe FC because the swear filter would block them.

Yep. i sometimes wonder if they are in charge of this place.

I'd rewrite the review and see how many competitors names you could sneak in.

 

[IanSmithCSE]

Good evening,

I asked my friend Ann and she couldn't see the point in a rewrite, she would rather spend her summer relaxing, however Sara disagrees as she is a keen sailor and used to lee winds.

Down the pub Ronald thinks that there is some fun to be had but his experience under the Colonel restrains him.

Wilko, see Next as a competitor? Twerps in the marketing department then.

Sell your shares!

11 year olds writing algorithms in their bedrooms more likely.

I was overcharged in Accrington Wilko on Wednesday. I bought some wild bird seed/food, 3 packets of dog chews/treats and a bow tie for my mutt. The dog chews were priced up on the shelf as being on offer at £1 a packet, but somehow the till, or the woman working the till charged me 73p a packet more. Mmm, ok it was 'only' a £2.20 overcharge, but I wonder if it's a frequent occurrence that many won't notice if they don't check their receipts? 🤔
