Customer service - have your say 10:17am on 29 Apr 2009 I think the worst place is [car dealer removed]. I took [car model removed] in there for a knocking noise and was told it's a common issue due to bad design but I would still have to pay to get it fixed! The guy in front of me asked to speak to a mechanic but was told they were too busy to talk to customers and you would have to deal with the services manager. He was then told that if the manager didn't know the answer to the query then it was tough! When I went back to my car you could see the mechanics just standing around chatting. Not buying one of their cars ever again.
BBC News and disabled audiences 3:15pm on 19 Feb 2009 Yes Mr Horrocks, you made a stupid mistake and trying to back-peddle like this makes you seem even more of an idiot.

Maybe you could let us know exactly how many visually impaired people complained about presenters saying "as you can see?"

I'm guessing at none. I'm also guessing you have nothing better to do than trying to fix problems that don't exist.

I guess you had better stop showing filmed clips and just have someone describing the incident you are reporting on so you don't exclude people who cannot see.

Don't forget to report the news in easy to understand words, don't want the hard of understanding getting excluded by you!

"If nobody bought music, the music industry would die and there would be no new music to download/copy/rip illegally. That's a simple fact."

Heh! Of course, before the music industry came along there was no music in the world, they invented music didn't they!

Without the music industry the only thing we'd lose out on would be manufactured groups and I can live without them!
No defence for 'stealing' music 2:02pm on 03 Jul 2008 I'd like to add a comment on the "moral" issue.

The music industry believes it's "morally wrong" to illegally download music so no one gets paid. So they are suing people who illegal download music.

I think it's "morally wrong" for large music labels to have a large budget for "fruit and flowers" (more commonly known as illegal drugs) so will not give these labels my money for them to spend on illegal drugs.....
No defence for 'stealing' music 12:45pm on 03 Jul 2008 It's funny how the music business thinks it can get people onside by threatening their own customers with disconnection?

I'm no longer a Virgin Media customer and if my current broadband supplier sent me a letter like this they would be an ex supplier as well.

I expect that car companies like Ford etc will be sending owners letters telling them not to break the law by speeding etc or they will repossess their car?

Yes, you really should stop posting, dear!

No defence for 'stealing' music 11:12am on 03 Jul 2008 Darrenwaters, I would point out that it's not always "free" to listen to the radio, small businesses are currently being harrassed by the PRS into buying a licence even if only 2 or 3 workers listen to the radio or stream it through their PC's!!
So consequently businesses are having to switch off the radio to cut costs...

As for downloading music, I have done it legally, then switched PC's and not been able to play my legally purchased tracks on the new PC. Thanks to DRM the BPI has stolen my purchased tracks from me.

Also illegal sites are good for getting albums that labels have deleted or just not released on CD so there is no other way of getting them.

If there was a site allowing DRM free music covering all music in a labels archives and had a reasonable monthy fee rather than by track then they would get my and many other people's business.
