Grrrghhh,,
I should have listened to MN.
I ordered my rainyday mac and it came yesterday.
I wore it yesterday and wrote a review about it on here.
Today on the school run, I bent down to get something from under the buggy and 'ping', the bottom button pings off.
I was going to fix it but dh told me to ring and complain.
So I did and I told the lady all about Mumsnet and how everyone moaned about the buttons. I did say that a lot of people were happy with it apart from that. The lady said that there had been a few complaints about them and thats why the new one has a zip.
Anyway she's sending me a free returns label to send it back and put £10 credit on my account as 'compensation'.
I then ordered the new zip one under duress(sp)
Its not got a fleece lining so wont be as warm but will not break I suppose.
She's also sending it on next day delivery, free of charge. So they should.
I bet Jonny made the sale batch with crap buttons, so people would send them back and order the more expensive zip ones.
Rant over.
