Buying flowers? Do not buy Serenata Flowers.
I don’t do flowers. Obviously. But for those of you that do I’d like to bring your attention to a little experiment over at Peters place.
He has had a number of bad comment spamming experiences with the above company (as described at that link and the story above it). I fucking hate comment spammers but generally they are transient websites and hard to pin down as genuine businesses, so revenge is both difficult and essentially pointless. This case is different however.
Peter seems to think that if enough of us link to the above post, then when potential customers are searching for them on Google, they will see the really shite reviews first. Hence using the Internet for what it was intended, i.e. mass protest for people like me who do not want to actually leave the sofa.
At least, I think that is what he is doing.
If this is all some elaborate extortion racket then I will not pleased. Not without a cut, anyway.
So, Serenata flowers, they’re a bit naff and that.

“Hurrah!! I am first!! Yay for me!!”
I like to think I manifest my intelligence and errr…discernible-ness… in other ways.

Hmmm. There was a lovely flower shop up my street. It was called Oasis. A bit cheesey a name, but it was pretty. I never went in. The mista bought me an orchid there one time. Then they closed their doors for ‘refurbishment’. They reopened as Serenata. Alas, Serenata lasted about 1 month. Now it’s just a boarded up shop blighting the successful patina of my street. God damn Serenata flowers!

I read the ‘Serenata’ as ‘Senorita’ and put two and two together (Senorita and Salsa classes) and thought ‘Mr Angry is in lurve!!’
*sigh*

Belated thanks, Mr Angry. Working together we are now on their Google Page 1.
(It’s not an extortion. I don’t do jail at my age.) Once this has received the required mainstream publicity I’ll delete the post and that will be their sentence served. Rehabilitated.
