Komplett.co.uk – should I care for 2p?
A couple of points that Komplett claim: ” The price you see after you add an item to your shopping cart is always the price you pay!” ( their exclamation mark!) ”exact shipping cost is visible in the shopping cart before check-out” I bought some items from Komplett and gave my credit card details. An order confirmation…

NAME AND SHAME. Restaurant service charges
I had dinner in a restaurant this week. It included, as is becoming more common, a restaurant service charge of 12.5%. I asked the waitress how much of this she got. Apparently half goes to the restaurant and half is shared between all the serving staff. For me this is a disgrace. When I tip I want it to go to the waiting…

Poxy Wheelclampers/Towers Away (Blackpool)
Just a warning to other moneysavers. I was in Blackpool the other week for a few days away. Anyway I arrived in the middle of the night (about half twelve). If you have been there before you will know that there are double yellow lines everywhere, not a square inch of tarmac that hasnt got them on I think. So I parked my…

The media and poor grammar
I've lost count of the number of times i have found poor grammar in the newspapers or on television. If i'm paying for it then i expect it to be well written. It also sets an example for children learning the language. For example, in one newspaper today: Books: Blunders in dictionary of biography threaten university…

I booked a home delivery from Tesco last Monday evening.

So, I…

So I wrote a letter to Asda, enclosing the packaging, pointing this out. This morning I got a £10 gift card through the post and a letter of apology!!! :) Well done…

They can hardly speak English (they are programmed like robots and they repeat the same 5 English sentences that they were programmed to say) My AOL BROADBAND is not working now for 2…

Chris Moyles Red Nose Rally - DON'T TEXT IN!
If you listen to Radio 1, you won’t be able to avoid hearing about the Chris Moyles Red Nose Rally. At every opportunity they’re trying to get you to text in and donate money to Comic Relief. However, DON’T DO THIS! TEXTING IS A VERY INEFFICIENT WAY TO DONATE. If you text the Radio 1 number, you will probably spend £1.10*,…
