for the birds
A birdbath, not fit for purpose. Purchased at Wyevale garden centres in November, showed cracks in December, fell apart in Januray, returned to Wyevale in February.
After patient waiting for, gently assertive haggling with, Wyevale staff. They eventially raised their offer from nothing because I was returning it ’outside the 28 day return period ‘ to a paltry refund of the current sale, half the original, price in vouchers. I settled believing this pathetic show did less than Wyevale is required to do by law and very glad to get away from them.
Wyevale - not recommended for garden furniture.

I think it’s disgraceful behavior on the part of the retailer. The item , from the picture, appears to have suffered during the frost, yet I know from experience that stone birdbaths have to be frost proof in order to be outside all year round! I’m sure that the retailer could have reimbursed you and claimed this back from the manufacturer as the item is clearly faulty. It is a pity that you have been so badly treated.

Do you think the birds would prefer a shower instead?
