Good morning, :-)
I'm obviously not getting anywhere with my complaint please let me talk to someone senior to you. What does "I`m obviously not getting anywhere" mean?
Many thanks for respond,

The person complaining does not feel that any action is being taken to address his complaint. _________________ Cheers m' dears! |

Hi Dina, 'I'm not getting anywhere with my complaint' suggests you are not being at all successful when you have made a complaint because nobody has taken any notice. Supposing you have bought a washing machine and it doesn't work. You email the shop you bought it from, you telephone them and you write them a letter but nothing happens and you realise you're not getting anywhere.
