Phoning people in Hospital
Patientline, who I phoned last night was costing me 39p per minute off peak and is 49p per minute other times. They give you some talk before you get through so you're already being charged. It's equally as expensive/difficult for a patient to phone out. Also the TV apparently costs £3.50 to watch. I think it's disgusting…

auction world tv - avoid!!!!!!
This satellite/cable shopping channel has had extensive negative reporting on Watchdog and various other online news forums. I mean the fact that you have to dial a premium rate number to bid is a joke in itself, but if you go on to read the OFCOM report, you'll see that is only the tip of the iceberg! Today OFCOM issued a…

Amazon.co.uk
I had to ring them today regarding a problem with an order. Was amazed to see they have an 0800 number (rather than 0870) which was answered almost immediately by a helpful operator. Problem sorted in a couple of minutes.

B&Q
I have just finished getting B&Q to install a kitchen in my flat. The reason for choosing them was for the all in one process of choosing the kitchen, designing what we wanted, delivery, and installation. It has been a complete farce from start to finish and I will never ever use them or recommend them to anyone ever. We…

Ryanair.com credit card surcharge
I booked flights through the Ryanair website last night. All the prices appeared clear as I went through the booking process. However, somewhere along the line a fee of £21 was added as a handling fee for using a credit card. This fee was added very surreptitiously. I went back to the site later and eventually found a link…

Royal Mail Non-Delivery Service!
Yesterday I watched my postie walk past my kitchen window then heard my mail plop thro the letterbox. Fine, I thought, just the usual stuff...maybe the odd small freebie so didn't rush. Five mins later when I picked the mail up there was a card to say that postie had 'tried' to deliver a package but I wasn't in! He did no…

Eclectics Blinds
We had a new bathroom installed earlier in the year. Since it was once a bathroom with separate toilet there are two windows. We bought a blind from Eclectics with a jazzy laminate trim on the bottom for the large window but the small window was really too small for a blind. Because the glass was fairly see through we had…

DAMN, does that mean i no longer qualify for it? ::) Gees when will these people give up... firstly, i'm not stupid enough to fall for a rip like this and…

pound shop embarrassment
I had an terribly embarrassing moment in Poundland on Friday. They have a claim that says 'don't ask the price...everything is a pound' and I confess to often having wondered about those people who ask an assistant how much something is when they are in a pound shop. However, I was rushing and went in for my usual…

Cinemas
Does anyone else find a trip to the cinema a far less pleasurable experience than it used to be. Last night i went to a local vue cinema. We had to sit 3 rows from the front at the side which meant i was looking upwards and to the right at almost 45 degrees. Not very uncomfortable and gave the impression they only…
