Franklins Farm Shop (Lounged)

This post and the following post are by the same person - The Administrator

Just for everyone's benefit, not everything that is sold in this shop is organic. ALSO be very careful with the pricing because the price labelling is not always clear. I went in there today to buy some organic milk. There were 1-litre containers of milk for sale (not organic) and the label simply said "55p". When I came to pay, it was far more expensive so I queried it. The chap said that the price label meant per pint, not per litre and he became very defensive when I suggested that it was misleading labelling. So do be careful if you are buying a number of items as you would not necessarily notice.

Absolutely ridiculous.

The following is the actual original post by this person, before they edited it - The Administrator

"I completely agree! A similiar occurence happened to me just last week! Then, the server said that he wouldn't serve me, and requested that I did not return to the shop! Ridiculous. There should be a boycott of Franklins Farm Shop.

I'm putting the final touches to my Placard as we speak. The buggers will rue the day!

I smell a rat.

A dirty, stinking, first-time posting RAT

[SteveT]

First time poster or not, misleading labelling is considered to be fraud.

So miss pip full marks for the warning.

[Jeremy]

Two first time posters with exactly the same experience... warrants at least an check of the IP addresses, don't you think?

[matthew123]

Well spotted Jeremy, maybe the jury need to reconvene

[miss pip]

You are welcome to check me out - I have never ever posted things on any forums - it is not my style - but I was horrified by the whole experience; so much so that I went into Moxon's and had a chat to them about it.

[Beej]

WOW you must've been horrified!

[taper]

very fishy.

[*Bob*]

Perhaps it's not my plaice to say.

Maybe if it had been a sole posttur.. bot when saw two together I just codn't believe it.

I have done so and it turns out you are a fraud so I have edited the first two posts to make people aware of this.

Sounds like a reel shame the shop doing that. The shop owners sound rather shelfish, and must think us locals were prawn yesterday. I have been in the shop and found it a tad small - one is squeezed in like sardines.I don't mean to carp on - and I hake to say it, but all this talk of fish is getting a dab silly! I am now laughing so much I am having problems whiting, and my leg mussels are aching from sitting at the PC for too long.

I am waiting for someone to throw in a 'Red herring' to divert the conversation.

Even I am floundering now.

I'm going to listen to some music. I'll start with Sea eeled with a kiss and then Sole Train. I love that tuna.

If you want something better to do then theres a good film on tonight with Pike Lee and Skate Moss in it.

[bon3yard]

Bravo.

I have just received this via email:

*******************

Thanks for the ban! Quality stuff. I feel really depressed now...

Nonetheless, I love it how I can still access your site - although I didn't know that you had a fetish for 'animal fuck movies,bestiality porn video, free horse sex picture'!

Your entertainment was top notch!

And if you chat to Moxon's, you will duly find that there was a complaint about the Farm Shop....

Kind regards in your future career as a webdesigner/hacker...you still have a long way to go I fear....

Oh come on Admin, Stevie_34 seems like he's sorry and has seen the error of his ways. Let him back.

[Mick Mac]

I wonder who has it in for the new Franklins shop?

Come on MM, keep up, it's Miss Pip and Stevie_34, two former habitues of Andy Warhol's Factory.

Since it closed they've had nothing better to do than go to the Legion for a couple of hours every day and then go home and mither the dog.

One day a youngster introduces them to the internet, and they try to start 'happenings' again.

I reckon they'd say it's political, but I say 'up your butt with a coconut'.

To paraphrase Andy in the light of the internet 'In the future everyone will be famous for fifteen posts'.

[Mick Mac]

Well - I've had my fifteen posts - off to bed now.

Could it be that that Admin's international crack team of geekoid techies have got something wrong again? Afterall i was mistakenly banned for the whole day some days ago after Admin mixed my i.p. address with Mr White van man's i.p. address.

I was told by Mr Admin himself that he would NEVER ban ME. How sweet.

[Jeremy]

If I was the admin I would give out the IP address, so we could figure out which shop we should really be boycotting!

At Christmas I bought a mulled wine spice packet from Franklins Farm Shop for ?1.49. I then found exactly the same product in the wonderful SMBS for ?0.99. I will be weary using Franklins in the future despite my general enthusiasm for the concept of a sort farm shop. I don?t mind paying for unusual hard to buy products but the mulled wine situation was profiteering.

[capt_birdseye]

A shop? Profiteering? Whatever next?!

[JamesG]

Profiteering is the making of excessive profits.

Whatever next? People go elsewhere!

[capt_birdseye]

Why not set up a local price comparison website? You could add other factors too such as service levels, surliness etc... Shops who charge too much or who don't excessively fawn over the clientele would soon be run out of town.
