Warning: Online Cash Backs
I cannot urge you enough to avoid all ONLINE cash back offers. They are purposefully misleading and some are designed to reject upto 90% of all claiments irrespective of merit. I got stung by JUST3G.co.uk. I lost my cashback on a irrelevent technicality that they claim voided my offer. I really dont understand it, but in a…

A slug in Tesco Cranberry juice (I kid you not...)
I found what looked like a slug after pouring a glass of Tesco cranberry juice last Friday morning. We were half way down the carton so had already consumed some of the product the day before. I poured the item (and associated 'bits') back into the carton and took it back to the store. Considered taking it to my local…

Hospital Consultant won't respond to DVLA!
In mid-July I had brain surgery to remove a benign tumour, so naturally I haven't driven since then. I thought I'd have to surrender my licence, but the registrar said he didn't think I needed to because the procedure was sufficiently minor not to require this: I just needed to let DVLA know. If they wanted me to surrender…

Is this a scam?
Everything seems to point to a scam ... but I just wanted to check because it seems too good to be true (which is my number 1 reason for suspecting a scam). I got a leaflet through my door this evening saying there is a clearance sale at a local pub tomorrow. The leaflet is all very professional, printed well and gives…

Tesco Customer Service - Mini Cooler
I bought a Mini-Cooler from Tesco for half price at £19.97 a few weeks ago. I recently noticed that the light stays on when the door is shut and the seal doesn't work all round the door. I contacted Tesco who said that they couldn't give me a replacement as they don't have any more in stock. They deny it was sold as a…

Post Office Customs charge
I ordered a couple of t-shirts from the US a few weeks ago and they've just arrived. However the Post Office is keeping them back as there's a customs charge of £8.83 :( How the hell can they charge that much on a £20 package? I've bought stuff from the US before and this has never happened. Is there any way I can get…

Local bike store - charge for service
I got some new pedals for the bicycle. One of the old pedals came off easily with a small Allen key. No suck luck with the other, as I hadn't a pedal spanner or wrench narrow enough to get access to it. The local bike store charged £3 for removing it, which just involved a forceful turn of a pedal spanner to loosen it.…

So my local Job Centre has had a refit at the cost of about 450k. I went in to sign this week and was told that No Job Search facillities will be available, In the sense of that I used to be able to search via a computerised touch screen that would then print out the job details. But now they wont do that the only day I…
