EEVILMURRAY Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Caught this on the Yahoo site. I must confess I see where the chap is coming from. I'm glad to say I haven't had such service when I flew with Virgin. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/blog/editors_corner/article/11975/
Cube Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 It almost looks as bad as their internet service.
arab_freak Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 lol Looks like something I'd read on Cracked.com
Ramar Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 I could just imagine the bloke talking to himself as he typed it up. Top stuff.
Dan_Dare Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 that's ace. Litterate angry people kick ass.

Mokong Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 it was mustard Richard, MUSTARD!!!! Haha, loved it, well written and great it was like he was talking to Richard rather than a department in general.
Fierce_LiNk Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 A crime against cooking! Haha, brilliant. Yeah, that one tickled me, haha. For some reason, I read that but with Jeremy Clarkson narrating it in my head. Just seemed like something he'd write, hehe. But yeah, great letter. Would love to see Richard respond to that one.
Molly Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Yeah, I do love how he calls him Richard, like they're having a conversation. Excellent.
Supergrunch Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 He got a response from Richard: Paul Charles, Virgin’s Director of Corporate Communications, confirmed that Sir Richard Branson had telephoned the author of the letter and had thanked him for his “constructive if tongue-in-cheek” email. Mr Charles said that Virgin was sorry the passenger had not liked the in-flight meals which he said was “award-winning food which is very popular on our Indian routes.” Source. Funny, anyhoo.
Fierce_LiNk Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 He got a response from Richard: Source. Funny, anyhoo. Hmm, that's a bit of a shit response, to be honest. The food was blatantly awful. I just find that reply of "Our Food is award winning. We're sorry you don't like it" a bit...well...unsatisfying.
Supergrunch Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Hmm, that's a bit of a shit response, to be honest. The food was blatantly awful. I just find that reply of "Our Food is award winning. We're sorry you don't like it" a bit...well...unsatisfying. Yeah, it's pretty crappy.
Pyxis Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 He said Richard a few too many times though. It's not as if somebody needs to be reminded of their own name every few seconds.
Beast Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Loved that letter, brilliant writing skills, lol!
ReZourceman Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 That letter cracked me up. Pretty much everytime he said "Richard" I burst into tears. I could imagine my friend at work (Vanden) saying it. Love it. PS Vanden is the guy who in JandMChron New Year Special, the guy who says "Film what Jamieson?! Real life. People don't need to watch YouTube for that" sarcastic and dry tone. Love it.
Bren Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 i also stumbled across this letter before, quite funny lol.. anyone seen the one where some dude trys to exchange a picture of a spider for his bill? thats funny as fooook xD
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 i also stumbled across this letter before, quite funny lol.. anyone seen the one where some dude trys to exchange a picture of a spider for his bill? thats funny as fooook xD I've seen that! The way the bank accountant (or whatever) responds very politely is hilarious.
Jimbob Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Absolutely brilliant letter. Never have i read something so informal, yet so complaining at the same time. I did chuckle when i read the part with Branson calling the customer to thank him for his "complaint".
Rummy Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 It almost looks as bad as their internet service. Whats wrong with their internet service? Pretty good letter though, most amusing, though not the best thing I've seen/read ever.
Bren Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Whats wrong with their internet service? Theyre against net neutrality, ther cocks with their internet service
Sheikah Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 They also flaunt the fact they have 50Mb broadband as if it's the best thing ever. Now instead give people something useful rather than a speed most lines don't support and presto they're in business.
Chris the great Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 My absolute favourite has got to be this one: Paging Leonidas To The Front Desk you do realise that thats, well, fake? sadly 80% of the website seems to be fake. the leter was ace, deffinatly had an air of clarkson to it. im gutted at the response.
EEVILMURRAY Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 Did they ever explain which part of the meal was which? Bumpings if it doesn't merge: http://uk.news.yahoo.com/blog/editors_corner/article/14556/ Updatings.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 you do realise that thats, well, fake? sadly 80% of the website seems to be fake. the leter was ace, deffinatly had an air of clarkson to it. im gutted at the response. Does it really matter if they're fake or not? They're extremely funny anyway!
