W*NKERS

I cant leave my car in valet parking anyway, the anti car jack system is too difficult to explain. For the first time I'm so glad that my car is such a pain in the **** to leave in someone else care.

fecking hell!
Personally I'd have been straight on the phone to BA managment, informing them that my next call is to my solicitor, then we sit back and watch the fun.

I'm not a very tolerant person. The interesting thing is that the chaps at BA and the parking company probably thought this chap was 'sad' because 'it's only a car' think that I, and some others on here would feel the same way if our cars had an accident like this.

I dislike BA anyway, basically because I see them as being totally stuck up, not individuals, but as a corporate entity, as in 'we're BA, we're the best' umm, sorry, no, you're not. I never have, and if I can avoid it, never will, travel with BA. but that's an aside.

A would say this situation would be akin to the same thing happening to a 22B, it would be a loss.

A sad sight, and confirms how crap UK companies are - I have still not received my TV as ordered on the 2nd Dec 2001 from ****** (In)Direct, and STILL they have not contacted me once.

Liked his statement right at the end though - "My name is not Ferris Bueller"

At least he kept his sense of humour.
