How do I go about finding out who the Chairman/CEO/COO/whatever of the group which owns HMV and Waterstones is? (And his address). This is in order for me to rant at him at great length.
 
Sir Robin Miller
HMV Group plc
Shelley House
2-4 York Road
Maidenhead
Berkshire
SL6 1SR
 
Also -

Alan Giles
HMV Group plc
Shelley House
2-4 York Road
Maidenhead
Berkshire
SL6 1SR

He is the CEO, Robin Miller is the Chairman (Non-Executive Director)
 
Oh and -

Brian McLaughlin
HMV Group plc
Shelley House
2-4 York Road
Maidenhead
Berkshire
SL6 1SR

He's the COO :D
 
Oh and one more -

Dear Sir Robin,

I have been a loyal customer of HMV and Waterstones for many years now. I would estimate that over the past five years I have spent circa £5000 in your stores. I would further estimate my expenditure over the next five years to be the same. It won’t be spent in any of your stores however. Instead I shall spend it in Virgin, Borders and any other stores which are not owned by your group.

The reason for this is your insistence on introducing the new gift card voucher in HMV. A gift card voucher which cannot be used in Waterstones. This is as much use to me as a chocolate teapot. I currently have in my possession a £20 gift card for HMV – I would rather spend this money in Waterstones. But I can’t.

Therefore, I will make my final purchases from HMV and then shop elsewhere unless this ridiculous idea is withdrawn or updated so that they can be used in Waterstones. It should be noted that, although I have been assured that gift vouchers, which can be used in either, are still being produced, your Glasgow shops refuse to sell them. If that is their decision, then I will refuse to buy from them.

Yours sincerely,



Alex Simpson

Dear Mr Simpson,

Thank you for your letter, which we used as toilet paper after reading.

Although we try and publicly claim otherwise, we don't actually care about you or your whining. So shut it. We are forever. You are not.

And don't try and sue us over this letter because we simply own the courts.

Up yours,

Mr La Dee Da Dee Da
