Woolworths Online

Amazing! Criticise Carphone Warehouse in a post and it gets deleted!
Do they sponsor this site??? I placed a criticised them in a reply to a Grabbit and the thread got deleted!!! Does Clifford Dumbstone have that kind of power??? Basically they owe me money and won't even reply to my letters, hence as far as I'm concerned MSErs should be warned off buying from CPW.
