While putting on time yesterday before picking parents up from the airport I decided to get my lunch somewhere, seeing the queue in the nearby supermarket I decided to go to the KFC up the road.

Anyway, I arrive there ten minutes early. All the slots between 8.30 and 9.00 are crossed through. Receptionist says that the nurse doesn't…

Counter staff in banks are now salesmen???
Hi there, just a mini rant I went into my bank on Saturday morning (Halifax) to pay the measly sum of £6 cash in to cover a dd on Monday. Massive queues as you'd expect.

Screwfix Direct

I ordered some replacement handles for my kitchen cupboard doors (originally MFI rubbish, but don't even get me started on them and their "customer service"!) on Saturday afternoon. I ordered them online and chose the "fast" delivery option, which they said is usually on Monday. I am…

Has anyone else been a member of the MAKE YOUR VIEWS COUNT consumer panel? A few years ago I use to provide information on my shopping habits for Taylor Nelson Sofres (TNS) and was rewarded financially every 6 weeks.

At the beginning of August we cancelled our Sky family pack (£19.50 a month) because NTL offered us FREE Sky Sports if we took out their family pack (£19.50 a month). Today Sky telephoned us and offered us the family pack back at £10.50 a month plus £50 worth of Argos vouchers. We have been assured we may cancel after the…

Book Clubs - Oh how I wish I had......
....read https://www.britishcompanies.co.uk/booksforchildren.htm concerning a number of different book clubs run by BCA before I joined one of them.

Timpsons - overpriced, if they think you're well off
I went into my local branch of Timpsons to get a replacement battery for my Raymond Weil watch. I was quoted an unbelievable £13.95 to supply and fit it! I went down the road to a small jeweller, who charged me £5.90. I emailed Timpsons asking about the difference, and got this reply: +++++++++++++++++ All Timpson branches…
