Faulty TV only 2 years old.
Don't know if I'm doing this right as this is my first non-lurking visit! I bought a widescreen TV from Comet just over two years ago and it has recently developed a fault where I can't see the outside edges of the picture and the virtical lies bow. Although it's outside the one year guarantee and the fault is new I…

Lost my Name
Once upon a time I was known as "not-so-civil". I lost my name and 1/3 of my posts. Why "Vent"? I e-mailed the Forum Tech almost a week ago, but no recognition nor no change. Do I re-register?? I am aware this has happened to many members but I note that some have now been "REPAIRED". NOT ME!!

MULLER RICE ... ( snack ) .... YUK !!
While I like a lot of Mullers products I must say the NEW muller rice snack has got to be one of the DISGUSTING things I have ever tasted . It is so bland and gooey I am thinking of using the rest as wallpaper paste And while I did get as a TRY ME FREE... its just as well because I certainly would have complained about…

GreasyPalm and ipoints - what's the point...
in using them when a) half the things you buy through them don't result in the cashback being added (unless you can be bothered to keep a record of everything and continually chase them) and b) they don't bother to send the cashback or respond to email. I've had £100+ in my GP a/c for ages but still only received one…

Jeweller swapped my ring!
18 months ago, my mum bought me an opal and iolite ring for my birthday - I saw it in the shop window (little independant jeweller) and fell in love with it. It had the most beautiful opal I have ever seen, full of fire (pink, yellow, green, blue flashes in it) I also loved the iolites as purple is my fave colour. I didn't…

complete card details on printed receipts
We had work done on our car recently by Watling Tyres and I noticed our receipt had the complete card number/card type/expiry date and card holders name printed on it. If you have anything done by them and pay by card,take a marker pen with you so you can immediately score out the card details. I have emailed them about it…

My postman
He came early this morning and posted letters. He came back at 10am to deliver a small parcel. He said he thought it was a bit early to knock on the door when he first came at about 7am, so he returned at a decent hour. How great is that :D

Royal Mail: International Signed For
Having used this service myself I find it odd that although it's called International Signed For, once your item of post has left the UK that's it - you get no signature, if it gets lost tough, the RM have no way of tracing it. :mad: Surely this breaches some sort of description act and can be reported to Trading…

MGM DVD replacement - is this a scam?
Someone on another message board I subscribe to posted this messageFound this interesting article to DVD owners "Apparently all of MGM's 'theatrical wide screen' DVD releases for the last few years have been the pan-scanned versions with the top and bottoms cut off. The list (PDF) of butchered movies includes almost every…

Plasma / LCD TV - be careful
I guess that 42" flat screen TVs (or even slightly smaller models) are the latest must-have, cool feature for many folks' living rooms these days. Be careful, though. The product descriptions can be so misleading. For example, Panasonic 42'' Plasma Television, Model No:TH42PE30B has a Market Price of £3,699.99 and a Sale…

They are the only company I know off who add this fee. They also charge £40 for delivery on a cooker hood which cost £110. There is no way of avoiding this extra…

Rang Sky who suggested we `must have` ordered multiroom because it says so on their computer. When I explained that if we had ordered Multiroom…

Ebuyer Nightmare
I have bought lots of stuff from Ebuyer in the past and have never had a problem. However, the funs seems to start when you have to return something and enter into dialogue with them...as i've recently found. I've been trying to return a router to them for a refund throughout January and i'm still waiting for an RMA…
