    Did anyone ever write a strongly worded letter? And if so why? I wrote one today and felt much better after!

    Yep. I wrote one to cadburys when I was 12 because I bought a dairy milk out of date. Was only for the craic really saying I was so disappointed etc. A few weeks later a big parcel came in the post for me filled with Cadburys chocolate! Was fat enough at the time but shared it with all my family and friends. Shortly afterwards the whole of 6th class wrote to cadburys telling lies about gone of choc! We were sorted for the year. Thanks cadburys!

    I wrote to them too after buying 2 near empty bags from a mobile unit where I worked. Yeah, was not a kid. They sent me a bank draft for the cost of the 2 bags + the the stamp:mad: (About 90p - mid ninties) There was me thinking I was going to be bathing in free Tayto for the year.

    wrote a strongly worded email (to be precise) to a local newspaper who ran with a story of how when Donegal made it to the finals last year that there would be a massive drain on the economy and that Donegal was losing out on heaps of money due to people leaving the county to head to the game,

    i sent it in, posted it in the donegal forum and it got linked to on their facebook site.

    I never got a reply and all the posts on their wall were delated.

    I can't write a letter as my handwriting makes it look like a 10 year old did it. So it just looks like I'm going to have to type


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,775 ✭✭✭✭kfallon


    I wrote a strongly worded letter once, me Ma promised me burgers for me tea one day when I was heading out to school but upon my return I noticed that she had in fact done up a big pot of stew.

    With the anger boiling I ran upstairs, took out my crayola, wrote half the letter in red, a bit in blue, some green and finished off with a nice shade of yellow (and of course I drew the obligatory sun up in the top right hand corner as was the norm with 5 year olds when handed crayons and a piece of paper). I also threatened legal action if this happened again. I couldn't afford to waste time so instead of posting the letter I just handed it straight to her. Not realising the nature of the content of the letter me Ma seemed to think it was some sort of drawing from school and just proceeded to pin it to the fridge door and say, "Awwwww, I'm proud of you!" :rolleyes:

    I never got those burgers :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,808 ✭✭✭FatherLen

    Dear Sir/Madam

    I am absloutely outraged at your current marketing campaign which makes a mockery of the freedom of choice to consumers here in Ireland. Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of cakes, buns and other types of confectionary but when your company comes along and insists "you got to get a Gateaux, gotta get a Gateaux cake" , that is just like putting a gun to my head and forcing me to buy your product. For shame.

    Your etc

    Plazaman

    PS Don't get me started on Johnson & Johnson insisting I "do the Shake N Vac". I will do what I want before I Vac thanks you very much.


    Ah yes, a blast from the 80's. I wrote 674 letters of complaint in one year

    Funny enough, James Brown said the exact same thing to me when I jammed with him in Las Vegas in December 2009.

    Dear advertisers, I am disgusted with the way old people are depicted on television. We are not all vibrant, fun loving sex maniacs. Many of us are bitter, resentful individuals who remember the good old days when entertainment was bland and inoffensive. The following is a list of words I never want to hear on television again. Number one: bra. Number two: horny. Number three: family jewels.
