Is it legal to secretly voice record your transactions/conversations in high street shops to use as evidence if a shop assistant tries to lie to you or to go back on his word or if there is a dispute ?
Could this evidence be used in a court of law ? or via an industry regulator ?
I don't want to do this but I've had some shocking experiences in London shops, including one large store that has the word "Self" in it where I turned up to collect a pre-paid item , tried on the pre-ordered/pre-paid altered expensive trousers, they ripped because the fitter had not bothered to write down the alterations that he measured me for on the waist and then they tried to ask me to go home with the faulty product and no guarantee of money back or resolution because the guy who did the fitting was not there at the time.
When I suspected that they were going to try it on and fob me off, I started secretly recording them as evidence, thankfully, I never had to use the evidence and I never had to do it since.
I feel that I am "in store" for a few problems with some Chavvy shop assistants.
