Trouble With American Book Seller
I have used Abebooks to buy several books. Up till now everything has been fine. Then March 23rd I ordered a book from an American bookseller (Great Buy Books PO Box 99960 Lakewood, WA, U.S.A. 98499 ) They said that the book would be despatched immediately but I should receive it at the very outside by May 25th. There is…

Reading market
Having taken the plunge to look at alternative sources of produce, I decided to visit the local market! A few stands of "fresh" fruit and veg and lots of tat! So I had a browse at the fruit and veg, and thought it looked ok! Yuck yuck yuck I don't think I have ever seen such poor quality fruit and veg in my…

Onetel Customer (Services?)
Onetel set up their 1571 service on my CPS line a few weeks ago and to be fair it took less than 24 hours from 1st request.

Shop assistant training
You visit the shop only to find the product that you want is not on the shelf. You then ask the shop assistant if there are any left in the stockroom.The majority of times I am told that there are none available.Of course they can only put out what fits on the shelf and I would hope that they attempt to replenish lower…

Magazine freebies
Probally just me but is anyone else vaguely annoyed by the freebies that come with monthy mags. Well the freebies are useful, vest tops, flip flops, bags etc but they all come inside tightly sealed plastic bags so you cant see what is inside the magazine and wether its worth buying,ie what offers, coupons, competitions,…

Sky Digital
I thought I was really smart after seeing a posting on Thursday on the boards regarding SKY+ for £49. I managed first time to get them to agree to it without having to resort to "if you don't give me the refurbished SKY+ for £49 I will disconnect". Thought it too good to be true that they would fit next day. Yes you…

As it has been half term this week I along with 2 other mothers decided to take our kids to one of those family friendly resturants with a soft play area attached, for lunch yesterday.

Empire Stores Catalogue
I just had to tell everyone how impressed I am with their customer service. Last month I did all my banking and payments online as usual, and to my dismay I received a statement from Empire stores saying that my payment had not cleared and I was being charged £15 for this. I could not understand why this had happened and…

My son asked me to order Coldplay's new album. I found the best deal online Tesco. He gave me the cash, I used my card. Husband checked our bank balance today and found 5 lots of £8.05 has been taken out of our account. Husband wouldn't have noticed 1 lot of £8.09 - which means the surprise Cold play CD for Father's Day is…

Postal Deregulation - What's the point?
So this morning my post dropped in (seems to arrive earlier on a saturday for some reason) I noticed that I had two items of mail - one from royal mail the other one allegedly delivered by TNT but in actual fact delivered by Royal Mail. Is this what deregulation is going to bring us? One company negotiating the price,…

Factory Car Outlet, Seaham
I ordered a new car from this firm on 07/05/05 as they said they would deliver it in 9 to 10 days. It is now 03/06/05 and I'm still waiting!! Each week I am assured that it will be available and each week I am let down. This is costing a fortune as I am hiring a car until it arrives. Has anybody else suffered at the hands…

I believe I want my country back
I don't want to see public funds spent on understanding other cultures which are not representative cultures. Why do public authorities here need to spend money on understanding witchcraft from Angola? Apparently it's because immigration authorities have allowed Angolan child-witchhunters into the country. Why does the…

o2 Mobile Phone Insurance - How can they?
Hi all, I bought my wife a Nokia 3200 in January 04 and aparently this came with 3 months free insurance (which is fair enough I guess); however at no point during signing up did I say I wanted insurance, and at no point was I informed that I'd need to cancel the insurance after the first three months. It's an o2 Online…
