I am in the process of doing the finishing touches to a new bedroom décor and spent two hours looking for a bedspread in either, heather, lilac or lavender.
After two hours of searching I came across one from Next and tried to order it, only to be directed to their French site.
There was nothing like the same product on this site and I have both spoken and e-mailed to Next. I managed to speak to a manager at Next, who said that I had raised very good points and she was going to pass them on.
I received an extremely anodyne response to my e-mail as follows:
Hello Jane
Thank you for taking the time to email us.

This is another example of being forced to order from a website which does not cater to our tastes, and I have expressed my dissatisfaction, both to their policy and their e-mail.
It may or not be relevant but the tune which I was forced to listen was 'Maybe I'm the one to Blame'.
Was it me to blame for daring to try and order from their UK site or were that already saying OK hands up, we're guilty? I leave it to you to decide.
