    [quote=[Deleted User];28460631]Ummm No. I ordered a toy off amazon uk assuming that it was going to be the english version. I had no warning that it was not.[/QUOTE]

    But your signature's in Welsh?

    It's taken me years of experience to get this cynical
  • Appreciate what some of you are saying but amazon should have checked this before selling them.

    If it was just something for me then I wouldnt be that bothered, but its a little different when its a six-year olds xmas present.

    Also, amazon spent days arguing with me that it was indeed an English version when I had the thing speaking german in front of me !!! Thats what annoyed me the most...

    Mistake was made (probably by manufacturer and not Amazon). Item replaced and £10 in your pocket.

    Good result.

    Move along now, nothing to see here.

    calm down dear, it's only a mistake

    as i said yesterday, the posts on here where people fly off the hook over something so petty really do amuse me.
    helpful tips
    it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
    there - 'in or at that place'
    their - 'owned by them'
    they're - 'they are'
    it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)

    also, amuses me where every thread seems to have a poster ready to inform the OP of the error of his ways and how much more sensible they are.

    well to be honest, in situations like this, i think it's warranted

    you got a replacement and an apology in the form of £10, was it really worth posting on here?

    I know it's understandable that you would be annoyed with them Paul, but now it's sorted and you've came out of it better. :)
