Buffoons of Britain
Highlighting British companies
that just don't seem to get it

Buffoons of Britain highlights those companies who provide utterly contemptuous services and/or products. These Companies appear to either:
  1. not care about their customers, or,

  2. Offer poor service and prices.
The British are renowned for not complaining, and if they do, it often falls on deaf ears. So this site sets out to restore the balance, and Names and Shames the Buffoons of Britain.
