Is Boden a teeny tiny bit PA?

I didn't want any more email offers, so I unsubscribed. Look at this message:

Unsubscribe confirmation

So it’s really goodbye.

You have now been removed from our mailing list. Just to warn you, it might take seven to ten days for this information to filter through our systems; which means there’s a chance you might get an email or two from us in the next week. After that, we'll never darken your inbox with this sort of email ever again.

Ummm...okaaay...

The passive aggressiveness literally leaps out. Or is it just me? I can imagine Johnny shrugging and muttering, "Your bloody loss"

Ocado do it too. I forgive them because their customer service is so good, but every year I get an email saying 'Did you think we'd forgotten?' I look at it and think 'What?' and it turns out that it's the anniversary of the date I placed my first order. Now, they usually give me a free bottle of wine to celebrate, so I ignore the nauseating tweeness of the email.

RedSpottedHanky - I order my rail tickets on this site. They send me a scarily bright little email a day or two before I'm due to travel saying 'Before the off!' Why? I already know I have rail tickets. I don't need an email to remind me.

Sorry just got back. Glad you all agree with me.

"darken my inbox" is what really pricked me. Exactly like a dick-head boyfriend. Arch and endearing? Think not....

yes our online retailers are now our online friends!

"Darken my inbox" reminds me of the classic break up line (from The Streets) "I'll never darken your towels again" :)

I agree Jonny is obviously a narc. ..the email is talking down to you & he is threatening to harass you over the next couple of weeks. Don't go back to him

I can forgive Ocado quite a lot of mateyness since it comes with a free no-strings-attached bottle of plonk.

Unsubscribe confirmation affirmation

Goodbye seems so final. And perhaps it is.

I long for your last seven-to-ten-day-information-filter parting email and yet, I don't.

How can I walk away while you still linger? Perhaps I will secretly meet you in my spambox.

Unless DH finds out. And lightens my credit card.

Yup - me too with Ocado. I see "free bottle of your favorite wine" and the rest of the sentence is a blur...

Johnnie is telling you who he is, listen to him

Not PA. Just typical Boden speak.
I'm in it for the long haul with Johnny. As long as he keeps selling stripes. His hotchpotch can do one though.
