This is a question Waste of money

I once paid a small fortune to a solicitor in a legal case. She got lost on the way to court, turned up late with the wrong papers and started an argument with the judge, who told her to "shut up, for the love of God". A stunning investment.

Thanks to golddust for the suggestion

UK Hot Tubs
My Dad got my Mum a hot tub from the company UK Hot Tubs earlier this year as an anniversary present. We waited more than 6 months for it to come, redid a portion of the patio for it to go on when it got here, had lots of tradesmen waiting to connect the plumbing, electrics, final pieces of floorlaying.

It turns out that UK Hot Tubs has a habit of taking the various thousands of pounds that people pay them and effectively running off with it. Whenever we phoned them to ask when it was coming they fobbed us off with a reply like "it's waiting to be shipped from country x".

Then recently we discover that they are being investigated by Watchdog for definite, possibly by another party as well. UK Hot Tubs has received complaints from the vast vast majority of its "customers" about the distinct lack of a hot tub, and Watchdog got wind of it.

As long as Jeremy Vine's on the case...
