Sodding E-Mails I receive at work

This is just for a laugh really, this area I will let you into the comments we get sent from our customers via our websites so that you can see what the clientel can really be like.

Starting with todays comment/complaint

Quoting:

As a big film fan living in ~~~~ I find the film planning for ~~~~ pretty depressing.

If there is a really poor film ~~~~ always seems to get it and all the half decent films miss ~~~~.

What happened to The Last King of Scotland and Dreamgirls both Oscar winners. Why do we get all the tosh.
Name: David Chamberlain

As you can see from subject A he clearly regards himself as a film connoisseur (must be, he watched the Oscars) with the best tastes in films, I agree it is regrettable that we did not receive The Last King Of Scotland.

However, saying our film planning is depressing shows that he does not know, or has even bothered to find out the reality behind the decisions..... All film distributors choose which sites films are shown at, although we ask we very rarely get the art house type films.

Saying the films we show are tosh, Hot Fuzz? Brittish flick doing extremely well..... Becoming Jane? Doing great aswell.

Now I'll reply to the gentleman but do it politely..... If possible

This next e-mail is one of many (25 and counting, over 30 phone calls) we've received on the same subject, I do agree with them, we should've been showing this film however the last line on this one is a classic phrase people use

Quoting:

Most surprised at Apollo's decision not to show "Amazing Grace" at the cinema in the home town of this country's only memorial to the abolition of slavery. I for one was planning to take my family to see the film. Could you suggest where else I should take my custom?
Name: Paul Batchelor

Now, we're not replying to these, just forwarding them onto head office but don't you just want to send a personal response to this chappy telling him to *beep* off

Unless he's got a big arse.

Dude!! I get these bastards daily coming right up to my truck to deal with me.

Right now though we have a total asswipe mayor so I just tell the complainer that it was City Halls decision, not our departments, no matter what the issue!!

And he's just love that reply.

Probably go back to the minions and try to to dissuade or roll a few heads.
