    This looks to me bit suspicious, are they working for them or any hidden contract between them. If you say you have problem with TESCO, Comet or any other big brands, you can see many people and talk to save them and tell us to go back to your work properly.

    But if you tell some asd.co.uk not doing well they will come and join with you and support you. Strange world.

    I don't suppose its occurred to you that maybe what people are "supporting" is the "correct answer". You know, those pesky facts and rules and laws. Oh and common sense, though there seems to be a short supply of that these days.
    If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything

    Indeed, esp in the OP's case.

    There are a number of reasons why people "support" well known brands but not new websites:
    • "They don't get that big by cheating their customers."

    • They have a reputation to uphold

    • More people are likely to have had firsthand (and positive) experience.

    • People like to contribute to a thread and so may rubbish a small firm they have never heard of just so that they feel included.

    Truthman you really should change your user ID to FullOfIt.

    You seem to have major problems with every high street retailer, do you not think the problem actually lies with yourself rather than all these companies??

    You appear to have missed the "Sh" from that.

    If you dont understand anything, i'm happy to teach you, no shy about that. No idea what that means. Send me a PM if you need more lesson.

    I'm not a shakespeare but i try my best to teach you.

    The only thing missing from the above is "Me love you long time"

    Thanks. I thought it was about why we shouldn't support big brands.

    It seems that he makes some bizarre thread about a big brand with unrealistic expectations of said brand, and is then surprised no-one supports his point of view.
