It says deleted, but it was just discussing sizes, sleeve lengths etc.

They're not 'happy', they're 'realistic'.

Hope that helps.

Sorry, I’m just very confused by all this chat. I thought you were happy with the brand so how could that be a bad thing?

Your comments on this thread sound like responses from the company when someone has left an online review Please do share pictures
I really hope you enjoy wearing your C&R clothing completely unnatural responses.

Sureyouareveryhelpful · 27/11/2024 13:49

Ah okay, I see.
Thank you for clarifying this.
Hopefully you will continue to have good curations moving forwards.

Sureyouareveryhelpful · 27/11/2024 13:52

And I’m really sorry you don’t like the way I speak. I’m just being polite.

It’s getting too weird for me.

curations? 🤔

Sureyouareveryhelpful · 27/11/2024 14:00

Getting back to discussion, has anyone bought the fair isle as really would love to see this.

Which of the many fairisle items are you referring to?

Are you asking people to post a photo of themselves so you can see it?

Sureyouareveryhelpful · 27/11/2024 14:06

Again I’m getting very confused by your chat. I thought you were talking about a fair isle jumper? Maybe I’m just in the wrong place with this, so I will leave you to it.

ChatGPT confused by the chat

Has to be. No one, no matter how 'polite', actually talks like that in real life !

SallySesame · 27/11/2024 14:34

Prompt: you are a perfectly normal woman engaging in some light-hearted chat about the high quality new Cabbages and Roses collection. Distract everyone from talking about potential libel. Exhibit high levels of positivity. Remember you are a normal human. Repeat, you are a normal human.

Sureyouaregenuine · 27/11/2024 14:58

Sureyou perhaps is in some way - even if not directly to do with it all. Who knows?. It is simply my guess.

It avoided answering whether it owned any C&R clothing.

The username says it all.

roses said she was being helpful and what do you know? Maybe, Roses might of inspired a username .

it seemed very upset at the “The technical help” regarding pockets. That was imo possibly a sarcastic remark to rose . Rose wasn’t technical in describing the location of the pockets !. So why thank rose for the helpful technical advice in a garment you haven’t seemed to be interested in .

the wording is robotic. It does sound like PR might .

the questions fired at Rose to try to possibly lead her into saying things like was noted.

I have followed the threads, and I find it ridiculous that anyone would have a problem. Brands and items are discussed everyday online good and bad . That’s modern life for you .

TheLeadbetterLife · 27/11/2024 15:11

Brilliant.

Does C&R sell sock puppets?

🤣🤣 this thread is getting curiouser and curiouser with @Sureyouareveryhelpful contributions

IAm16StoneHalloween2024 · 27/11/2024 15:35

There’s a new thread now, she has zero posting history for the past year at least but I’m sure she’ll like it here.

Volver · 27/11/2024 15:41

@IAm16StoneHalloween2024 yeah I saw that, and don’t trust the poster is not another surreal chatbot
I’ll stay put here till they decide to request this one is deleted too 😏 I rarely post in MN but you can at least see some of my history and I’ve posted in the previous now deleted threads as the reviews and chat were okay.
Trust my luck to hardly ever post and be in constantly deleted threads 🤣

IAm16StoneHalloween2024 · 27/11/2024 15:47

@Volver I honestly think they are shooting themselves in the foot, that is literally what these threads (and many many others in this section) are for, to exchange reviews. No company should be scared of this as no company can ever make clothes to suit everyone. For every short and curvy woman there is a 6’ slim woman. What better than a public way of exchanging information re sizing than on a thread like this?

They (and their employees/bosses/chat bots are simply making themselves look odd. Which is a shame as you all seem to like the clothes.

OP posts:
Volver · 27/11/2024 15:51

@IAm16StoneHalloween2024 I totally agree.
I’m waiting on a cord jacket which I preordered in early November and here we are 21 days later with no ETA date as yet
I promised I’d be back to give my feedback on receipt.

Volver · 27/11/2024 15:59

Meant to add I will cancel and demand a refund if it’s not arrived by end of this week as delivery was quoted as November for the pre-orders. As much as I loved previous C&B collections and enjoy wearing the clothes (I only have a few things so mix and match with other clothes) I’m not prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt if they don’t deliver as promised in November.
Whoever has interfered with getting the previous threads deleted have actually put me off the brand so if it was the company their actions were totally counterproductive to even lovers of the brand like me.

What's that well-known saying? Any publicity is good publicity?
