Following Diane Abbott's article on the DNA database, one CIF
correspondent claims to have complained about shoddy service at PC
World, the store called the police and the complainant ended up in the

Is this possible? I would find it amazing that commercial
organisations could start to hold the threat of the police and DNA
sampling over our heads in order to get us to kowtow.

Anybody has the freedom to call the police if a disturbance arises on
their premsises.

Normally a lengthy wait is required for Police arrival.

No doubt the complainant was initially requested to leave the premises
and refused. In any case, he certainly would have had opportunity to
end the altercation.

You are being presumptuous, unless of course you know the details of
what happened?

If anyone is on private premises and in a similar situation is
requested by someone in obvious authority to leave then they should do
just that. They should then take up their complaint from a more
distant and advantageous position.

So we don't have any rights whatsoever in the event of a dispute with
a company similar to PCWorld? Ring a call centre in India, do you
mean? Send an email and get an automated response, perhaps?
You really do need to get into the real world Mr Rowing.
