Do you think we should start our own "Hate something, Change something" campaign??
We "HATE SOMETHING" - being promised lovely freebies and then them not arriving
Honda "CHANGE SOMETHING" - By sending the lovely freebies out and making us all happy.

I haven't yet received anything either! I would think that we were one of the first loada people who should get the bags seeing as we applied when the advert first came out!! >:(
How long has it been?
MimiJane
31-10-2004, 8:50 PM
Honda are a reputable company. I expect them to send the bags eventually. :p
Well they're certainly getting a "reputation" on this board!
If there are no bags left (according to their web site), we ain't gonna get any. ::)

Must have only had two bags to give away....how tight are they :'( ;D
Davesmum
01-11-2004, 10:58 PM
What a pity, was looking forward to this one, agree with poppymop - always end up singing "hate something change something make something bettttterrrrr" when the advert comes on!! :'(
poppymop
03-11-2004, 6:47 PM
not sure wether I like it or hate it, all I know is I cant get it out of my head!!!!!!
Poxy song!!
allanhamer
03-11-2004, 11:17 PM
never received mine either :(
would have been one of the first lot to apply also as I spotted the post on here and went for it as soon as the email came through from Honda.
Hate the damn advert anyway long, drawn out and what an annoying tune... has to be the worst advert on TV for me at the moment ;D ;D

Yep, I got one, with a nice new car inside. However, 2 problems - didn't fit through the letter box and didn't like the colour - so I sent it back. Kept the bag though. :-/
emailed Honda - reply today is that they were out of stock but as many people had not received them they had had some further bags made and if I emailed by address I would receive one. Result - if it arrives
queensway_boy
04-11-2004, 7:55 PM
Just got an email off them to say i should get my bag within the next week.

Who do we email? Does anyone have the address? :)

Never grateful are we. Mine came this morning. Saves buying a new gym bag for school next year, if the smell's gone. It looks good but what a pong.

I'm a postman and I love all you people ordering freebies as I can steel them and you don't get suspicious when they don'y arrive as you half expect that the will not..............only joking, I'm not a postman at all ;D

Mine arrived today as well - poooeyyy!! Bright yellow as well ;D
Don't know if you have missed it though - recently the adverts on Sky have had a little red dot on the corner saying "free bag"?! So you might still be able to "bag" one ;D ;D

If your postman smells of diesel---be VERY suspicious

Mine arrived this morning too, does pong a bit but the bag feels better quality than the Nike type gym bags that would cost around a fiver.

I doubt it. Usually they leave it on your doorstep somewhere if it doesnt fit through the box and doesnt require a signiture.

10-11-2004, 1:12 AM
Got mine yesterday. Bright red and very smelly!
Came in a small jiffy bag - small enough to fit through a standard letter box.

I wouldn't think it would be too big being a small gym slip bag thingy. My postmen never leave parcels outside which I am glad about! can't trust anyone anymore!!!
jadring
10-11-2004, 11:45 AM
got a reply from honda this morning saying all the bags had gone and that they were on a first come basis but they were getting more bags made because of the huge response, these too would be on the first come basis, they told me to e-mail my address to them so hopefully, fingers crossed i should get one of the new batch.
queensway_boy
10-11-2004, 6:48 PM
Not got mine yet either. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
Haven't got mine yet either.
Then again maybe whoever the Post Office chose to deliver the mail this week might have left it on the doorstep. I buy a lot from ebay and lately so many parcels and packages are just left there in full view. Hod to have a gripe about that!! :)
I got my one this morning .... in a jiffy bag through the post. Was a bit confused when I opened it lol lol forgot that I had sent off for it. Did pong, it's bright yellow, but great quality ... kinda rubbery!
Little girl will love it for putting her junk stuff in it ;D ;D

I am having that too!! I have had HUGE arguments with Royal Mail. They knock at our door at 7.30, wait 2 seconds (if that) and then walk away!! We have had "sign for" items just stuck through the door. I have had enough. Some items for Linden were left outside, in the rain, and pretty much looked rough as anything when I unwraapped (or rather, the paper fell off!!)
P.s........bag not arrived....
Received mine today :D lovely red one!!!!

I got mine today as well - I had forgotten all about it.
I wonder if there is an easy way to record the freebies you apply for so that you remember not to forget about them ???
Oh well thanks to the original poster of this one - one of my kids has decided to use this red bag for their swim bag.
sparky61
11-11-2004, 6:41 PM
I received mine today. Smells like it's been stored in a Honda's petrol tank. I've hung it outside to see if the smell fades. The quality is really good though.

I haven't received mine yet. !I sent Honda an e-mail because I thought everyone else had got theirs, but it appears that they are still arriving. !I didn't get any response from the e-mail anyway. !:(
I thought I'd better do something because it's obviously, subconsciously, affecting me. !The other day, I saw the advert on TV when I was with some friends. !When the song got to the "Hate something..." line, I shouted at the screen "Yeah, where's my free bag!" !My friends thought I'd gone completely mad (well, actually they already know that - I just confirmed it!) !;D
angelcake
12-11-2004, 9:41 AM
Got mine today! Better quality than I expected!! The smell is because of the material, it usually smells like that! leave it on your washing line or something and it should die down a bit!!

Anywho, my Pepperami's arrived today, far too hot for little girls!!!!

Must go and lie down/drink alcohol/eat chocolate (although the three are not mutually exclusive) to recover from shock. ;D ;D ;D

13-11-2004, 12:16 PM
;D bright yellow with a logo of the 'hate something, change something' in the middle. I think it just smells of new material, nothing that bad. airing it anyhow ;)

Stand by your beds,
Got mine yesterday RED and smelly is not the word. Tried to pass it off as a pressie for 'er in doors but she turned her nose up at it. Can't do anything right >:(.
Well this is going into the pot for the grand kids stocking fillers as I can't see me carrying it to work with my gun in.
MimiJane
14-11-2004, 12:24 PM
Where is the address for the website ? !:-/
I wouldn't bother emailing them as they've incorporated a clause in their web site saying that they can't enter into email correspondence, you have to ring them if you want a response. !Seeing as they've run out of bags, I wouldn't expect anything. !BTW, I've received nothing either.
elvis_bloggs
14-11-2004, 7:22 PM
I have taken notice of the kind information you gave regarding the fact that there are no more Honda bags being given out, thanks to all who provided me with the said information. (did not want a bloody smelly bag anyway) :'(

15-11-2004, 12:50 AM
got mine few days ago. husband had a right hump, "how come's honda sent you a bag" "where's mine?" etc etc. It does stink and i left it in the bathroom, forgot about it and when i came back home I thought someone had been to the loo, or left a nappy somewhere. went to spray bathroom and saw bag in there!! ;D ;D ;D

One step nearer to receiving a bag ... emailed them the other day and just had a reply saying it's on the way. Judging by what you've all said, I should be able to smell it before it arrives. ;D

yep - looks promising.
I emailed them a few days ago (once), and had this reply today:
Dear Mr *******,
Further to your e-mails to Honda UK. We have been informed that the bags are
being despatched in the near future.
Regards

YES !!! Got my bag this morning with a very apologetic letter saying they'd had an unexpectedly high response and had run out of their original bags in 48 hours(!). I received one of a further small supply.
Bright yellow and smelly, but I'm sure it will come in useful.
;D

I wouldn't bother - I've emailed them three times over the last month and haven't had a single response. :(
