Local council Gym with no water?
I've joined my local gym and swimming pool which was recently rebuilt with a million or so of lottery funding. Does anyone know if they are supposed to provide water facilities. I ask this as the toilet tap water is warm and not marked if it is drinking water and the vending machines are £1 for a small bottle. I would have…

Livingwell Health Club
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I'm new here so forgive me! I was a member of a livingwell health club for a year then left to go to another gym.

Sky/Sky Plus
My Sky box went off yesterday with the thunderstorms and is still not working. I thought I would take the opportunity therefore to upgrade to Sky+ as one of my mates has just had it installed for £89.00 and I had been toying with the idea anyway. Rang Sky and it turns out that because I am an existing customer, it will…

Telly Parts
I needed a replacement remote control for my major electrical retailer's own brand TV and was quoted £30 for it from their parts' supplier. I said I thought that was awfully expensive and was told it was the price I should expect to pay :eek: Plus, I had got the TV and a video player for £32 at our local auction house so…

Nestle !
I wrote a light hearted email to nestle (makers of buttons etc) because I was peed off with opening multi-packs of milkybar buttons to find some of the bags not sealed and loose buttons in the bottom. It had happenned nearly every time I had bought a multi-pack, so wrote them an email through howtocomplain.co.uk just…

Asda Entertainment
I ordered Mary Poppins dvd from them over a week ago - got sent confirmation email and told it would be dispatched in 1-2 days. Despite sending two emails to their customer service, no reply and no sign of dvd. Very poor service for large company.

Pet Connection selling sick kittens
I visited my local Pet Connection today and found that they were selling five kittens which looked as if they had cat flu - sticky eyes and v.listless and disinterested. I mentioned it to the two guys behind the counter and they said that some other customers had said the same thing. A little discussion ensued, and they…

Customer Service SUCKS
For goodness sake, I can't believe how useless these financial (and other) institutions are. I am in the UK one day a week and need to sort stuff out. What do I get? Amex Me: I disagree with the statement, I need you to explain it. Them: Sorry, systems down, call again in TWO DAYS! Woolwich: Me: I sent you a DD mandate…

Am not having a go at GP receptionists and i'm certainally not having a go at GPs but the system is CRAZY! My surgery runs the system where you can only book an appointment on the day. This is rigerously enforced. (I think this is a rubbish system and is for the benefit of GPs and not patients but i work within it).…

DVLA - Are they on glue ?
I moved house at the end of April, to a new build - first one in the street so was expecting the usual caper with incorrect addresses and the like. What I wasn't expecting was the ridiculous extremes I seem to need to go to, just to get DVLA to acknowledge that my address is *not* the same as one half a mile away. I live…

Figleaves did not deliver goods and want to refund me! But I want my bikini!
Hi, Some time ago, someone posted a voucher for figleaves sales. I ordered a bikini and a bottom. I was quite happy to find something my size (34E and 12). However, I was in the process of moving places, so, as Figleaves was offering to leave the parcel at the post office for collection instead of delivering to my billing…

Staples
I bought a high-backed swivel chair from Staples about 18 months ago and one of the arms split on it. I returned the arm to Staples asking if they could get me a replacement arm. Unfortunately the arm was no longer available so they told me to bring the chair back to them and they would replace it with a new chair from…

Policeman driving when on the mobile
Why? Isn't this illegal? Hasn't he heard of hands free? The guy was turning right at a busy junction and obviously had to be taking this call as he was happily laughing on the phone. It makes me so cross when Joe Public uses their phone when driving and can be fined, but I never thought I would see a policeman in his squad…

Red Funnel Ferries
I decided to spend last weekend getting drunk and deafened at the Isle of Wight Music Festival. Yep, I know, takes all sorts etc... Anyway. On Monday morning, I got a phonecall from work asking if I could urgently come in for 1900 due to staff sickness. My ferry was at 1930 from Cowes, so I said "I doubt it, but I will try…

LA Fitness
I get in from work today, to find 2 identical letters from LA Fitness, who are my gym. The letters state that further to an earlier letter that they sent me (which I never received), my account with them is in arrears to the tune of £96. The letter continued to say that if I did not pay the outstanding sum within 5 working…
