Channel 4 "update" programmes!
I am fed up of Channel 4 and it's so called "updates" of previous programmes (e.g. No Going Back etc.) Last night I watched A New Life Down Under hoping to see what had become of the people that emigrated two years ago (as the title promised "14 months on") But it was just a complete repeat of everything they showed a…

Play.com
Ordered a copy of Early Doors DVD and a CD before Christmas, CD came but waited 2 weeks and still no DVD. Phoned up to chase the order up and was asked if I'd had the CD. When I replied yes, I was told that I should have had the DVD as well by now and that they would send another copy straight away. Oh, and if the other…

Stitched up by scottish power!
Having thought about it for many months we finally made the decision to switch to Scottish Power via Martin's cost comparison webpage and calculated we would make quite a good saving. However, just received a letter today saying that they are putting their prices up, the first 225Kwh will cost more than they did with…

Travel Insurance through Money Supermarket
We lost our digital camera on the second day of our long awaited holiday to Las Vegas. We assumed it would be a straight forward claim on our holiday insurance policy. It has taken more than two months, ten phone calls and many unanswered E-mails to finally receive a settlement for £176 minus TWO excesses of £50. Hardly…

unfriendly MSE'ers - I am surprised
As a new addition to the boards for a few months now - I am getting addicted to the great money saving posts posted by a lot of MSE'ers. However, having made some posts myself - I am a little miffed that they get ignored (people bypass my post to continue dicussion about something else) and people have not really answered…

Boots refuse to help in Tsunami appeal
I am co-ordinating a collection of medicines, dressings baby milk etc in my local area for the tsunami appeal. I have asked the local pharmacies for their help in giving patient returns, stock that is not needed or just out of date instead of incinerating or crushing it. What a waste!! All the pharmacists have been…

Avoid overclockers.co.uk - no email contact
Before last week I would not have hesitated to recommend overclockers.co.uk as I have ordered £1,000s of products from them. However they have now changed their policy where you can not email them. That's right, they will not accept any emails; you have to call them. I ordered 6 hard drives from them; 1 was faulty. It took…

Tesco Pricing
Is it just me or have Tesco put their prices up over the christmas period? We went shopping there for the first time in about 10 days recently and most of their prices seemed to be noticeably a few pence higher. I then opened up the paper the next day to find that they are now the highest compared to Asda (lowest) and…

Mutual.net points value??
Is it me or has the points value on mutual net changed - on this site(Cashback sites) there is a table which quotes a mutual point is worth 0.66p and you need 3000 points to claim your cashback - the site now quotes a value of 0.0016p and 15000 points before you can get a rebate. This would make it very uncompetitive…

Companies spamming mobiles & charging £3!
Apologies if this has been posted before, but I haven't seen it. My daughter put £5 credit on her phone 2 days ago, then sent one text to her boyfriend. Routinely checking her credit a few hours later, she found that she had somehow "lost £3"! As she hates sorting things out like this (but she'll have to learn to not…

ToysRus
Fantastic service from staff at Toys R us (Oxford) yesterday! Small son had spent his Christmas money on a box of Megablocks which turned out to have a vital part missing, after most of the kit had been assembled. Phoned the store, explained the problem and that I live ten miles from store. Very helpful customer service…

Card transaction fee
Has anyone else had this? We went skating yesterday, family ticket (4) + skate hire - £23. Out comes the trusty Switch card. "That will be an extra £1 please sir" "Sorry?" says I. "Yes a pound" "Thats a bit steep" says I to the world in general. No comment from money taker. There was a sign - A4 - on the back wall, with…
