I must strongly disagree with this thread in the harshest terms I can muster.  It's a disgrace!
 
I think for the pittance we pay in license fees the BBC should be entitled to inconvenience us far, far more than they actually do.  I'd gladly pay double for the license fee and ask them to inconvenience me twice as much if I could.

Maybe if you signed it "Sir Strummer" it would garner more attention?

Thanks for recently contacting the BBC. We aim to reply to complaints within 10 working days (around 2 weeks) and do so for most of them but cannot for all. The time taken depends on the nature of your complaint, how many others we are dealing with and can also be affected by practical issues such as whether a production team is available or away on location.
 
This is to let you know that we have referred your complaint to the relevant staff but that it may take longer than 10 working days to reply. We therefore ask you not to contact us further in the meantime. If it does prove necessary however, please use our webform, quoting any reference number we provided. This is an automatic email sent from an account which is not monitored so you cannot reply to this email address.
 
In order to use the licence fee efficiently we may not investigate every issue if it does not suggest a substantive breach of guidelines, or may send the same reply to everyone if others have complained about the same issue. You can read full details of our complaints procedures and how we consider the issues raised in feedback at www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/handle-complaint/.

Hey everyone, let's all fill out the form with Steve's case number with additional complaints!  I'm going to bring their attention to their overuse of the color brown in their broadcasting.  Weeeeee, this is fun!
 

 
How childish.
 
Or is it?

I don't wanna grow up.
