Novatech
I am posting this to praise Novatech (https://www.novatech.com) for their absolutely astounding customer service. I find them a very refreshing alternative to Ebuyer (although the range is not quite as extensive) and am extremely impressed with their customer service. One example of their speedy service is as follows:…

This is a home-based job that does not require any…

Panasonic
Bought a second hand car with a panasonic CD player stereo radio. Unfortunately the seller of the car hadn't kept the manual and the stereo looked a bit complicated and I was sure it had facilities that I might not be aware of. So I looked on Panasonic's website but the manual for the model in question wasn't there for…

Tiny Computers
I'd be really interested to hear from anyone who has bought a Tiny computer and had problems with it.

Halifax "booking you in".
Someone tell me if I am losing my mind here - but why are Halifax completely obsessed with making appointments? Why do they make it so hard for existing customers to do simple things such as open another savings account? First of all, its the fact that even as an existing customer, you will need to prove who you are over…

Yesterday I was looking for MK triple sockets in the large 'Trade' B&Q in Yeading where they were £13.73 each... not bad, but still…
