The problem is, that it seems to be common practice for them to add further charges later on, and it can be time consuming to challenge them. Does anyone have…

It was free (as you'd expect) so we thought we might as well as we tend to go there once or twice a year. Got a mailing from them last week with what seems to be a "loyalty cheque" for 11 Euros to…

I'd already started to put my details online this afternoon and then thought I'd leave it a bit longer to decide. Not very MSE to pay so much more, so I think the increase has made the decision for…
