tenth year in a row petitioning Zoopla/Rightmove to start a comments section on property listings it would be an _incredible_ april fools if nothing else

I quite like that the Sainsbury's store feedback form doesn't even ask for your contact details for any follow-up etc. Just goes straight in to a shredder somewhere
