I'm sending a letter, I'll send it right to you

Now it's getting scary...


Venta v. the AA, part 3.
(Part 1, Part 2)

I have just written a very snotty letter to the AA. The mother is busy checking it for me, to make sure I've said nothing libellous, and I was passing the time by phoning them to ask to whom I should address my grumblings.

This does, I suppose, at least make me realise that (contrary to my speculations the other day) people do call the AA for purposes other than to say "my car's broke".

However, I got my address. The spelling of building in which the AA's head office is apparently housed (Fanum House) seemed to be such a bizarre collection of letters that, ever suspicious, I thought I'd google to check.

As it happens, the spelling was right. But I found this, which is great. All hail our alien masters (who may or may not be running the AA, I'm not quite clear.)

Would this be:

"Dear AA,

You suck.

Yours, Venta."

Um, no. It was very polite. I went for a detailing of their muppetry and a more-in-sorrow-than-in-anger "this is not the level of service I have been lead to expect from the AA"-style conclusion.

I don't have the moral highground very often, I thought I might as well enjoy it while I had ;)

And, with luck, your moral highground will be worth 46 squid.

Well, since I'm not buying that kit, nor claiming I'm going to, that exact figure isn't all that relevant.

You'd be able to buy a spare carburettor, which you could then mount and send back to them?
