I once tried to give a £15 Nokia phone a bad review because you cannot
unlock it to put in a simm card in another country. Vodafone refused
to put my review on their website, saying it was about their service
and not the product. I told them that the Nokia phone and their
service were bundled into one product and couldn't be unbundled except
at an extra cost, but they still wouldn't publish my review.

Sometime after that my old £10 Nokia phone dried out from the washing
machine and started working again, so I can use that one with a new
simm when I go abroad.

The point is, while Halfords have control of what reviews they publish
on their website, I will not trust their reviews.

I wonder what would happen if some wag sent in a review saying their
uncle was wearing one and still came off his bike and dislocated his
shoulder.

Any volunteers?

Can you post such a story with integrity?

IOW, would it be true?

Use the same level of integrity as Halfords do.

=======================================

It would be unethical (or immoral?) to make up a false story.

I am convinced that somewhere in the world there is someone whose
helmeted uncle has come off their bike and suffered a shoulder
separation.

Then why not post that ostensibly true point to the website rather than claim
that your own uncle (assuming you to have one) was the victim of such a
misfortune?
