    Worst Company in Britain 2011- start the nominations NOW!

    December 1st, 2011 • 112 Comments By Andy Dawson
    It’s that time of year again, when we look down the barrel of your eyes and ask you to start nominating your most hated names for our Worst Company In Britain award. This year’s eventual winner will follow in the footsteps of Setanta Sports (2008), Royal Mail (2009) and Vodafone (2010).
    You’ve got, oh, a week or so to nominate the company that has got your goat the most over the past year. You can nominate any company as long as they operate in the UK (sorry again, haters of Finland’s wretched CakkiNet dial-up ISP).
    Put your nominations and your reason for naming and shaming them in the box below or if you’re following us on Twitter, you can tell us which company you hate the most over there as well with an @ reply.
    GO!

      Re: Worst company in Britain award

      I would like to nominate Carr’s the bakers as the worst company.
      Last Saturday as is my usual practice I went to the above mentioned premises for my weekly potato and meat pie.
      There was clear and unequivocal evidence that the company would be able to supply my pie of choice, the menu in the window plainly indicated that they were available, and the fact that I had purchased the aforesaid at the same time weekly for the last 20 years I believe gave rise to an expectation which I believe I could enforce in law.
      As well as failure to provide my pie I shall be pursuing them for loss of earnings, as I was forced to queue for nearly half an hour.
      The bakery in question would have you believe that this was simply an oversight and demand outstripped supply, however I know this not to be true. Dave the master baker and so called pal of mine can be proven to intentionally deny me of my pie and so I hold him severely liable for any losses incurred by me.
      I consider his offer of a jam tart as redress for his breach to be derisory; although I have taken this and in fact eaten it, it was made clear that it did not in any way amount to a full and final settlement.
      I think you will agree that this is disgraceful behaviour and well deserving of the worst company award.

          Seconded, Peter!

          I am given to understand that, once again, they have (allegedly) negligently disposed of their entire stock of hot cakes.

          When an explanation was demanded by disgruntled customers, guess what their excuse was?

            Hi
            Ithink it was personal, seem to rememder the last time Dave and i went for a pint there was some talk of me not standing my corner(totally unjustified), i think this is payback. Very unprofessional behaviour.

                Just had a call from Dave he has seen this thread and wants to settle,
                Meat and pot pie plus a couple of vanilla slices.

                Must admit my resolve is weakening

                  Just don't ask for that jelly, custard & sponge concoction as well.

                  If it went to court, you might have a problem!

                            Reading this thread has made me hungry......same for the Beagle! :beagle:


                            "Although scalar fields are Lorentz scalars, they may transform nontrivially under other symmetries, such as flavour or isospin. For example, the pion is invariant under the restricted Lorentz group, but is an isospin triplet (meaning it transforms like a three component vector under the SU(2) isospin symmetry). Furthermore, it picks up a negative phase under parity inversion, so it transforms nontrivially under the full Lorentz group; such particles are called pseudoscalar rather than scalar. Most mesons are pseudoscalar particles." (finally explained to a captivated Celestine by Professor Brian Cox on Wednesday 27th June 2012 )
