Egg Call Waiting times
Just a Mild rant re Egg, I always have to wait at least 7 minutes to be answered & sometimes longer, this is not reduced by phoning late or at an irregular time, you still have to wait. Must net them quite a small fortune playing you some music for a good few minutes on an 0845 number

Going Places and others big difference

When I pointed out to her that I had seen offers on the net for around the £400 each mark they were extremely rude and said this wasn't the type of holiday…

NHS Dentistry No Longer Available For Children
In my area (York), and as far as I can tell all of North and West Yorkshire, we have been suffering the attrition of NHS dentists for several years as more and more dentists stop doing NHS work and go private only. However, in general, they have still accepted children of their patients as NHS patients. Today we got a…

Asda
I visited Asda @ Fulwood, Preston, last night and thought it was a disgrace. In future I will stick with Morrisons, Sainsburys and Lidl. The store was not overly busy but there was big gaps where shelfs were not refilled. The yoghurt fridge was just a mass of empty boxes and throughout the store items were not placed in…

Yuk!!!!
Just got a pizza from the local takeaway. We were halfway through it when I bit something hard that cut my gum. On closer inspection it turned out to be one of those wooden chip forks that was broken in half - the splintered end is the side I bit into. Something tells me I'm NOT going back there!!! I feel sick now.
