Colegate Toothbrush @ Waterloo

This morning was a disaster. I arrived at the Colegate stand 0715 (with electric toothbrush & charger), only to be told there would be no delivery of Colegate toothbrushes today. They were not expecting any. Colegate, what kind of game playing is this? WE ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED - COLEGATE-PALMOLIVE!!!:mad:

    Clearly you're angry with the lack of freebie....but a rant usually is more effective if you spell the name of the brand correctly....I believe you were referring to Colgate.

    I think you are referring to this post so it may have been better to put your comments there rather than start a new thread

    Or you could register your details on the website as suggested and claim your new toothbrush that way.

    Got mine at Waterloo Station today :) Massive queue and quite mean-spirited, there was a vile racist man near me accusing ladies of pushing in. Got my toothbrush and got out!

    Why do you say that?

    It seems to be a genuine complaint and colgate have wasted the time of hundreds of people with their incompetence and unkept promises.

    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)
