Review of Mahiki
07 Feb 08, 13:07
Nice place, Horrible people 
I've never had a night in London as bad as this one. My friend had arranged his Birthday celebrations here and even sorted and agreed a guestlist at this venue. About 50 people who turned up first got in, the other odd 100 were forced to que in the cold outside dressed in suits and cocktail dresses. Whatever could happen next? Along come random girls in short skirts, and a little bit of flirt is all it took to get through the door man. I would have tried, but he wasn't my type lol. Seriously, they then began to "randomly" split the ques up to either side of the club and surprise, surprise, everyone could see that we were being segregated! I know it sounds so stupid, but I almost couldn't beleive it with my own eyes. In fact, my own mates who happened to be white were put in a different que which was slowly being fed through into the club whilst everyone who had black/asian origin was left on the other side. Eventually after approx an hour of freezing my ass off, some little lady came out and said that the club was at capacity. We gave them a piece of our mind and I couldn't fathom how this was happening in an upmarket area of London in the 21st Century. I have never had such an experience in my life, and what is sad is Mahiki IS a nice venue as I had been there before and loved it. But the second time proved the bouncers and management's true colours. Definitely a slap on the face! Anyway, there's so many better upmarket bars/clubs that Mahikis off my list doesn't warrant any sleep lost on my part.

Review of Car Deals

Unfriendly, patronising and unproffessional
This place is what you would expect from a typical second hand car dealership. It is horrible from the outside, and horrible within...you get that instant discomfort when the dealer steps out and begins trying to tempt you into buying something you really don't want. The service is reasonable, but to be honest I didn't feel like the dealer cared or really wanted me around (shame as I did like a few of the cars in there!). Not only that, he wouldn't agree to look at a part-exchange unless I committed myself to some sort of sale, and he basically tried to take me for a fool by displaying false information on someo of his cars, such as the insurance group rating and other costs. My biggest mistake however was agreeing to sell my car to them for cash-in-hand rather than part-exchange. They offered me what I thought to be a decent price from a trade-garage but it was the service that followed of which really got on my nerves. He inspected my car, in and out and then after commenting that it would be hard to sell (funny because he sold it the very next week) and saying I was 'lucky' he offered my 2,500 and said "take it to my son in my other branch down the road he will finish it off for you." Easy, i thought, and so I went down to the dealership only to be greeted by another surprise. After a breif inspection, his son comments that he is unhappy with the windscreen and so wanted me to go down to £2,300, not a problem but why tell me after the boss said 2,500? I was desperate to sell my car however as I had another one on the way. I thought the bad luck had ended here but no, there had to be more. He said he didn't have the cash at the moment and so would write me a cheque and gave me a small post it note with this signature and a code written on it to take to his father the next day in exchange for the cash-in-hand. I found this to be not only very unprofessional, but inconvenient and lazy. There are some pretty bad second hand car dealerships out there, this is by far one of the worst. Avoid at all costs.
