Terrible Virgin Media (ex NTL) TV
Ok, firstly I'll just say that i know this probably isn't the right forum to post this, but i can't find a thread for TV as as this thread is the one with the most action, it's more likely it will be moved to a more appropriate place (if there is one): I've been having terrible trouble with my digital TV service since the…

Trading Standards
I am sending all my thanks to my local Trading Standards, who advised me what to write in a letter to the company I bought a faulty sofa from.

Laithwaites
Ordered 12 bottles of wine at just over £7 per bottle. Found out today that the wine has been oversold and will not be coming. I phoned to complain and they asked if I'd like a replacement. I cheekily asked for some at £13-14 a bottle and expected having to pay at least some of the difference. They recommended some others…

Can doctors charge for sick notes??
I visited my local NHS surgery to see the doctor. My visit was genuine, as I received a prescription and was assigned a routine test. I requested a sick note and the doctor said it will cost me 10 pounds. At first I thought she was joking. Then she confirmed she was serious and said "Why would we do it otherwise?" She…

I've been with Blockbuster since about October. Some of the films I put on my list when I joined are still there. (old CSI episodes plus a few others). I was on the 5 disc deal until a few weeks ago. The service has become so slow since the Easter holiday that I dropped the number of discs on my deal to 3 and then down to…
