Martin,

The word 'whoops!' springs to mind :-)

An honest mistake, though.

I get annoyed by obviously false complaints, including about PPI. That is not to say that honest grievances should not be addressed but I have seen complaints about policies that never existed and it is obviously fraudulent.

For a small business the cost of dealing with this can be enormous.

I can just imagine the look on his face as his wife told him that he'd just been on the phone to the authorised repair centre:rotfl:

Martin, I trust you have sent the staff something by way of an apology.
As it was Mrs MSE's name they had they won't know it was you.
However poor shop staff get a hard time as it is, an apology and a Huge gift of chocolates or bunch of flowers makes up for it

Why didnt any of the shop staff, especially the manager, point out that the watch wasnt actually purchased at that shop?
