Angry Anyone In Nottingham?

Any members from Nottingham know Abbey Road, West Bridgford. I bought a pair of jeans of the website www.tall-people.co.uk on the 1st May and havent heard diddly squat from them since. The place goes by the name of Kazoo Jeans and is located at 43 Abbey Road. Was wondering what is about there, is it shops or residential.
It wasnt a lot of money, but its the principal of the thing!!!!

I think you will find it is residential. I'd take a drive over as it's not far away but my car is not taxed at the mo and I don't fancy having it impounded.

I think you got screwed big time mate - I just placed a joke order and the page that you put the payment details on... it's labelled as Internet - NOT secure.

I would STRONGLY recommend checking your bank account as you gave out your credit / debit card details WITH the security code onto an insecure sight.

I know what your saying!! Talked to trading standards, they said that under the Distance Selling Regulations, the supplier has 30 days to supply the goods before they can take action.
Was trying to get the name of the person registered at the address I have for them, but all the companys want 30quid to search the electoral register, anyone got free access?

Would you mind telling me how you did your whois search please? I've wanted to get details like that in the past, but never managed to get that much detail.

That was using the command line "whois" command on a unix box, but you can get the same info from web based whois searches, eg. http://www.networksolutions.com/en_US/whois/index.jhtml

there is a town centre within west bridgford, so it might be in there. There's a couple of high streets etc. On the most part though, West Bridgford is residential.

I used to live on Abbey Road The only shop I can think of is the post office, but just down fron that on Eltham Road is one of those businesess that seems to change every 3 months or so I lived in the 40 somethings and that's the only premises that I can think of in that number range.

No help at all I know
