Hmv
Bought a wii, two weeks ago and thought I'd say a huge well done to my local HMV! The wii was cheaper there than anywhere else and the service was a hell of a lot better too! Even when I got home and discovered that a new controller didn't work, I knew they would exchange it no probs, which they did. I love good service…

Spanish Bank
Not sure if this is the right place for this. It's to do with an English friend and his Spanish bank. He has had a property built in Spain and in the last two weeks has been over there to finalise things. Last year he sent his deposit to his Spanish lawyer expecting it to be passed to the builder/developer. He got there…

02 Dome ticket rip-off

We bought tickets back in April for the Barbra Streisand show last night (22nd) and paid £250 each for them to Double8tickets.com, who are a ticket…
