We need to stop these false advertisements

[rbh1961]

So I just bought a pair of gumboots advertised as follows, (cut & paste wording)

Quality Work Gumboots Gum Boots Safety Knee Length Industrial Heavy Duty gumboot

BUT they are NOT EVEN CLOSE to that description, they're a cheap, ill fitting, poorly constructed boot that would last 12 months, I'm a 60+ yo farmer, 6th generation so I reckon I know gumboots as I've worn then since I could walk.  So I know what I should have got based on the description and I understand consumer law SO WHY THE BLOODY HELL DOESN'T EBAY???   How do we stop this from continuing?

Will do - but what type do I say - other than - BLUE - genuine Blue.

Betty - Charlie - Camilla - all have it so where do I go ????

( with hopes of all 3 recovering ).

I've forgotten how to do a ' spoiler ' - but it would contain - Not me who needs an infusion.

Actually - not exactly sure what this means.

When it ceases to be fun - I'm out.

It's all in fun, domino. It's just a way of saying that yes, all right, I do love the colour red, but even though blood is red, I'm not a blood buyer and there are all sorts of "red" things on which I don't have my eye.

Just to butt in with my quid's worth - I too hold a Scottish title.

So it's Lord and Lady Stawka from you plebs from now on.

Certificate holds pride of place on the wall, a gift from our daughter for our 50th Wedding Anniversary.  😜

It's Laird. I doubt there was any acknowledgment of women, except for Mary (and look what happened to her). My ancestors were among those kicked off their land because the Lairds worked out that growing sheep was more economical than having loyalty to their clansmen.

I'll be unlikely to address you with anything other than disdain. Still love ya, as long as you're not Scottish entitled.

Thank you Padi - a complimentary Wagon Wheel coming your way.

Family on dad's side were Scottish, so I'll keep my title (and my dainty little head)
