Loaded 3for £1 offer
I have already posted this on the rip off board and think that it may have been mentioned here before but got lost in the shuffle. I applied for this a couple of weeks ago and was told to get the Original Source gift that I would have to sign up to £9 approx per quarter after 3for£1 had finished. I like a fool - agreed.…

Loaded magazine offer 3for£1
I signed up for this a couple of weeks ago as I wanted the Original source goodies that came when you subscribed. I was told that in order to get the gift I had to get 3 for £1 then pay a quarterly sub of around £9 - decided that it was just worth it so agreed. Today I got a letter saying they were going to take £39.60…

City Link Couriers.
As mentioned in a previous message re. CPW I have had the misfortune to experience the complete & utter incompetence of this company whilst waiting for a modem delivery from CPW. Their 'service' has been appalling & I will now ask a company which courier they use before I order as I don't intend to use City Link ever…

Grandchild of the Holocaust, harrowing
Did anyone see this tonight? I know we know what happened, but as with this prog, and everyone that comes on tv, I am crushed that such vile and awfull things like this happened for real, mans inhumanity to man, and all that, bought to life, in all its horror, the power, the ignorance,the degradation, the sheer disbelief…

Shoddy treatment from CURRYS
I have always shopped at Currys. However 10 days ago I promiced my old mother that I had ordered her a new TV from CURRYS online and that it would be delivered today. She looked at bare walls for 10 days and then stayed in all day today for the promiced delivery. She is now in tears because of this email I have just…

Ikea Customer Services
Having problems with IKEA - bought bedroom furniture in December and had it delivered (at a cost of £90) - today I went to assemble my new bed to discover that 1 of 3 necessary boxes was not delivered. I phoned IKEA today who are being really awkward, saying they are refusing to release the 3rd box until I have proof of…

Daily Express Cruises - Another Hoover Fiasco ?
I listen quite regularly to a BBC local radio consumer programme. Over the last few days people have been phoning in reporting difficulties that have been having with a £10 cruise promotion sponsored by the Daily Express . Last year that had to save up some tokens and then they could book cruise. This they did and they…

Netto
I shop at the Stamford Hill Branch in North London where the service is appalling. They have ten checkouts but it is rare to have more than half of them open. And when they are open, there is no attempt made to manage the queues, so you have the wonderful situation where you might have a few items and end up being stuck…

Rant of the Week! Debt adverts on Kids' TV
KIDS' TV CHANNELS ALLOWING DEBT ADVERTS. More and more I'm hearing of children suggesting parents who can't afford gifts 'go to Ocean Finance' or other similar 'secured debt lenders' - its a hideous disgrace. I don't know if lenders target childrens' channels to encourage debt "pester power", but it works. Has this…

AEG washing machine
Bought AEG washer a few years ago (no warranty - thank you). Broke down and not repairable after only 3 1/2yrs. Repair man said new one needed. Feeling rather miffed and on the spur of the moment, I rang AEG and said I was not happy about AEG quality, to fail like this after such a short spell. They called me back, and…

The AA NON Recovery Service
My daughter was travelling some 25 miles from home when the fan belt on her car broke. She rang the AA and said "my fanbelt is broke come rescue me". The Patrolman arrived without a fan belt although he advised the despatcher he hadn't got one on his van he was allocated the job anyway. She was told that the Patrolman…

Laithwaites Wines
Have ordered from Laithwaites in the past (got a few boxes for Xmas) but was rather surprised when a box of 14 wines arrived yesterday, as I hadn't ordered any. Contacted Laithwaites as I was worried I would be charged for them, they said they'd look into it and rang me back a few hours later to say it had obviously been a…

I received an email confirmation confirming I would receive the TV within 2-10 working days. All fine..... Except 3 weeks later..... no sign of…

24 hour facilities!
I woke up early today, and decided to do my washing. And because the laundry is always open, I could! And I had a cup of coffee and a hot chocolate from the vending machines while I was waiting. If you need change, go and ask the porters, they don't mind! :D

While i dont want to have a dig at one person, i feel that anyone who is just coming onto the site to annoy others is just plain childish! Anyone not clear on what i am…
