GLOUCESTER, England, Aug. 22 (UPI) -- A woman in Gloucester, England, is suing a dating agency for sending her on eight dates with men who were the exact opposite of what she requested.
Janet Forse, 49, is suing the New Horizons agency, run by Mike Lavender, a former car salesman, the Daily Mail reported.
Forse told the newspaper she specifically told Lavender in January she wanted a rugged professional man who owned his own home and did not smoke. She then paid him $470 for a year's membership.
So far, he's sent her out with a chain-smoking truck driver who lived in a trailer, a nervous unshaven carpenter, a married engineer who wanted secrecy, and one man who sounded quite promising during their first phone conversation. However, he phoned her twice before the date, both times very drunk. Forse said when she complained about him to Lavender, he told her the man had a speech impediment.
Now, she is suing Lavender under the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 for "failing to use reasonable care and skill" when matching her with dates, the report said.
