I was clamped at 10.30 and the guy was still there when I came out of my meeting at 10.35. He informed me that the fee to release the clamp was - wait for it…

Can anyone help me take a SPAM caller to OFCOM?
Hi All: Apologies for long post. Grab a beer if you like. Odd one this. I don't want a loan, and haven't applied for one in something like 10 years.

After a 20 minute drive and 30 minute wait (she was running late), got to see the doctor, who "only works here on Wednesdays". She asked me what the problem was! I said, "you asked…

Problem with car hired on our stolen credit card
Earlier this year my partner had his credit card stolen out of the post. Despite the fact it wasn't activated, somebody managed to buy a whole load of mobile phones and airline tickets to Belgium.

Damart
My MIL recently received a letter from the Finance director of Damart, with a big red 'Final Reminder' on it. Being in her late 70's she became very worried at this point as she does not owe anyone money. We opened the letter and inside was a reminder to say she has not claimed her 'free gift'.

Restaurant Bills - To Split or Not to Split
My girlfriend and I like to eat out, but as money savers we try to be frugal. One way we do this is by not buying wine with the meal. As we all know, restaurants charge you through the nose for alcohol, and you could be drinking the same bottle at home for a third of the price. My girlfriend is also pregnant at present, so…
