    Is this country now turning in to America where compensation is seen as easy money.

    It's ridiculous IMHO.

    I agree, it's outrageous, and sad that this site promotes this sort of behaviour


    It's fair enough that customers shouldn't be left out of pocket, but to encourage people to ask for compensation for a three hour outage is a poor show.


    It's nothing to do with Money Saving - it's about greed

    There's also a number of switching incentives being offered at present including a £100 bonus for new First Direct* and Halifax Reward* customers"


    Switch to Halifax? They're one of the ones that failed...

    Shouldn't most people be at home not spending money on a Sunday afternoon?

    Most people have to be at work in the week, so have no choice other than to do their shopping on Sunday, crammed into the six hours shops are forced to restrict their hours to.

    How did the poor lambs cope before Sunday opening?

    Gosh how dramatic. I can hardly believe people ever survived when we didn't have Sunday opening and they had to 'cram' their shopping into lunch hours, a late shopping night or a Saturday.

    If it's truly so hard on you, have you investigated online shopping and having your goods delivered?

    How far is this ridiculous compensation nonsense going to go? My bus didn't turn up on time Friday, I was 20 minutes late for an appointment. That's got to be worth compensation for distress surely? Must get MSE on the case.

    Every time someone gets compensation for something the cost goes up for someone else, but never mind, I'll have a few quid extra in my pocket.
