There is. Why do they need to bring a poor horse into the studio just because they are investigating horse selling? He must be scared!

Yep, there really is no need to have a horse in the studio, unless it is in a meal.

I have just had to switch it off... Matt Allwright is a total plank, I feel sorry for the horse having to have that infantile pillock sat on him.

Gone to watch George and Mildred.... compared with Watchdog it's Mastermind.

Did they not think to get the vet to check the horse before buying it?

koantemplation · 09/05/13 - 01:20

If they must have a horse in the studio, they could have recorded the links with the horse, so that it wouldn't be in the studio for too long.

That is the norm.

Watchdog is not going to stop him selling as it never stopped him selling puppies.

That would have been preferable. Or not even use a horse at all. Its so unnecessary to use a live animal to point out a cruelty case!!

Think it was a Hotpoint. It ended up in the middle of the kitchen. I rented it so it was replaced.

BellaRosa · 09/05/13 - 01:33

I buy the 99p hayfever tablets.

Roland Mouse · 09/05/13 - 01:35

Boots reply basically said 'F**k you! We will and can get away with doing what we like!'

BellaRosa · 09/05/13 - 01:36

FFS a horse is not a car !!!!! 14 days to get use to each other :rolleyes:

koantemplation · 09/05/13 - 01:36

More money to con men again. :rolleyes:

Yes they really don't care if they do their customers over.

So do I. I normally get them from Wilkinsons who also do paracetamol tables at cheap prices as well.

How the bloody hell Boots can charge a penny under £9 for exactly the same thing? It's criminal!

hansue · 09/05/13 - 01:39

I'm pleased Loppy didn't go back there

koantemplation · 09/05/13 - 01:41

Ah poor Queenie. David is a gimp.

I got 3 packet of Ibrophen from the pound shop for a £1

Bargain. I will not buy anything like that from Boots now.

Roland Mouse · 09/05/13 - 01:44

God! Can she read the autocue any worse?

This is the reference I sent to Watchdog last year after they first mentioned the story of the exploding Indesit and Hotpoint washing machines:

http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/appliance-industry-news/76-hotpoint/2585-hotpointaindesitwashingmachinesrattlingapart.html

I'm sure this was the source of the Technical Bulletin mentioned in the feature.
