Why is it, seemingly every time we buy something, or use a service, we get a text or e-mail asking us to review it. I even had one from the doctor yesterday asking my views on the experience. I bought something in Halfords the other day, and the sales person asked for my e-mail address. (Which I declined to give her). I rarely, if ever reply to these, but I did for the removal firm as they were so good.

In reply Bob I'd say our reviews form a form of advertising if published and they

help those reviewed to improve their service or product, if necassary.

I object to their selling our details to others marketing similar products.
