TESCO ARE YOU LISTENING I DON'T HAVE A PHONE, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO CALL YOU.
SO I EMAILED. THEN I EMAILED AGAIN. NOW IT IS THE NEXT DAY AND NO RESPONSE
SO I SENT THIS

DEAR TESCO

I HAVEN'T GOT A PHONE
I HAVEN'T GOT A LANDLINE
SEND ME THE ENVELOPE
OTHERWISE WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO, CALL YOUR 0845 NUMBER FROM A PAYPHONE, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THAT WILL COST BUT BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF TIME I USUALLY SPEND ON HOLD WHEN I CALL YOU, I IMAGINE IT WILL BE A LOT.

I HAVE GIVEN CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS AS TO WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO, NAMELY TO POST ME AN ENVELOPE CONTAINING ANOTHER ENVELOPE FOR ME TO POST MY PHONE BACK TO YOU, SO YOU CAN FIX IT.

NOW, BEARING IN MIND I DO NOT HAVE A PHONE, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE FORWARD THIS ONTO THE RELEVANT DEPARTMENT SO I CAN HAVE SOME HELP WITH THIS VIA EMAIL. OTHERWISE I WILL BE WALKING INTO MY NEAREST TESCO STORE AND DEMANDING TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER AND DEMANDING TO BE ALLOWED TO USE THEIR PHONE.

PLEASE REPLY TO THIS EMAIL

I DIDN'T GET A REPLY TO THE EMAILS I SENT YESTERDAY, ,I'VE HAD MY PHONE FOR JUST UNDER A YEAR AND IT SEEMS LIKE YOU GUYS ARE TRYING TO MAKE THIS REPAIR TAKE SO LONG THAT I'M NOT STILL UNDER WARRANTY

SERIOUSLY SORT IT OUT PLEASE. I'M REALLY NOT IMPRESSED RIGHT NOW
