in the tradition of the "Mumsnet swears by..." emails but with more vitriol directed at companies who are useless, greedy or just plain rude.
And I'll start with the American Dry Cleaning Company. I took loads of dry cleaning in there and while in there noticed that the hem on a plain black knee length skirt had come down so asked them to hem it just thinking it would be easier and quicker for them since they were doing some alterations for me anyway on other things. When I came to pay, the price for the skirt came to £28 - £8 for dry cleaning and £20 to put them hem back!
Obviously I'm hemming the skirt myself now - but AIBU? £20 to restitch a hem? I imagine they're paying their seamstress the minimum wage so that's about 3 hours work instead of 3 minutes on a sewing machine. Oh and the manager of the shop was very rude and unpleasant - but happily took over £100 from me for the other items.
By the way, this shop is not based in Savile Row - it's my local branch on the grotty Edgware Road.
