WH SMITH No longer allowed to stock check other stores - must use dreaded 0870!
Can you believe it?! I went into a local WH Smith to see if they had any of the Bush DAB radios still on offer, sadly not. I went to the far corner of the shop and stood underneath the CUSTOMER SERVICES sign only to be ignored by the two shelf stackers. I finally gave in and went and asked one to come over to the desk and…

I feel like Boots has conned me!!
Whilst shopping the other day i noticed Boots No7 do a SPF for the face. The sales assistant gave me the flannel about how good it was and i came home thinking it would be cheaper than the product i am using at the moment. All for saving money, i log into the Boots website and see what it says about the range, especially…

Bought a XL British Lions rugby top for my dad for Fathers day yesterday on my way home from work (cant see him next week so going tomorrow). When I got it home I tried it on and thought this is a bit big. Looking at the label it was an XXL that had obivously been put on the wrong hangar. Anyways, took it back to my local…

Train Prices - see my whinging letter to the operator
I've been getting annoyed recently at having to fork up extortionate fares for trains when services like megabus are so much cheaper (and worse admittedly). I was planning to take part in a contact lens trial in Cambridge, but the train fares would cost me about £150 over two years and six or seven trips. I bet that fares…

Name and shame retailers
I have had it with shopping and 'customer service' in this country. In the past 2 months I've had headaches with some online shopping sites of LX Direct, Sportsshoes, Laura Ashley, esp. during sales. The first two have used the now common (nasty) tactic of not honoring discounts/vouchers they are advertising, (even though…

Petrol prices
What is the point of pricing petrol in tenths of a penny, when the price is always something point 9 ?!! And if your bill comes out as 28 pounds 37.6 pee, do they round it up? I shall work it out next time, and if I find they are then I shall demand my 0.4 pee change. Grrraaaa, I'm annoyed about it already, and I don't…

Was the assistant rude?
OK, this is not a moan, a vent or a whinge but more of a disussion however since it is related to muany of the postings on the vent board I thought I would put it here rather than in DT. On many a thread in the vent board we see 'so-and-so was rude to me when I complained'. What made me put this thread up was a…

Mobile cold calls
Aaarrgghhh. I guard my mobile number almost as carefully as my credit card pins. Because it is given only to close friends and family I will always make an effort to answer even if I am busy. I have had two calls this morning from telecom companies trying to poach me from O2....Don't know who they were, I had hung up…

City Link
A common feature on the vent board, I know. This vent isn't related to poor untimely delivery though, it's about how utterly insane they are!!! Citylink delivered a parcel to me on Monday. Because I work, I wasn't in and can't get deliveries at work as I work in a big hospital. When I got home, I checked my email to find…

Boots - digital camera
I bought one of those cheap Minolta cameras from Boots. On the ad it said it included a case. When it arrived without one I emailed them about it and it said that "free gifts" were subject to availability and they hadn't got any left and would not be getting any more. I emailed and told them that according to the ad it was…

!!!!!! Burger King!
Ok lets make a start by saying I very very rarely eat fast food, that rarely I can count on one hand the times I MIGHT, in a year, be tempted. So last Saturday, I was shopping(yawn) in Salisbury with the GF, and we decided to partake of a burger from Burger King(sic). In we went, and attempted to order. I say attempted as…

Roal mail, parcel or recorded delivery

bad service
I purchased a top from 'fre?h G?rb?ge'. in Belfast on tuesday. Unfortunately it was not suitable, i took it back for a refund. I was told i was not entitled to one, merely an exchange or credit note. The manager was extremely short with me, and embarrassed me in front of a rather crowded shop. :mad: I am merely posting…

TfL SMS ignored
I read in "Metro" (London free morning rag), on theTfL Propaganda Page, that Transport for London offers a downloadable Tube map for use on smartphones. Just text "TfL" to some number, and they'll SMS back some instructions. So I did that, but received no response. That's 12 pee down the drain. This annoys me. Does anyone…
