Tesco 'contaminated' fuel
This afternoon, after leaving work, my car "lost power" at roundabouts. I assumed I put it in the wrong gear and I must be having a bad day.

Philips knowingly selling faulty equipment
On Sunday we bought a Philips DVDR3380 recorder.

Then we tuned everything in and it all seemed fine, Sky working, pre-recorded DVDs…
