Sainsbury's online groceries
Today I had a Sainsbury's delivery of groceries. A princely £160 worth. However, they failed to deliver almost £60 of the delivery for stock reasons! Nothing unusual - bacon, cheese, tuna, baby stuff, soup etc. I sent them an email about it and got a stock reply which indicated someone hadn't even read the email very…

British Tradesmen
I would like to know why British plumbers, electricians etc say they will fix your problem then not turn up. This has happened too many times to us this year. Do they not want my money? They should be reported to Trading standards..or something. Or invoiced for wasting my time. Another morning wasted :mad: Another night…

British Gas Homecare - Can I Cancel?
I signed up for Homecare 200 with BG in September (before I realised that alternatives do exist), having moved into a new house. I wanted the safety check done so I knew what sort of boiler I'd got in the house. I received all of my paperwork, including the magical "you will be contacted within the next 28 days to arrange…

Currys - Terrible Instore Service
Sorry for rant but I am angry (and out of pocket a fortune on phone calls to several 0870 numbers)! On 29th October I bought a £200 digital camera from local currys branch. A week later we had time to work out how to use it so charged it fully up but found that the battery only lasted about an hour before needing charged…

Recourse for publication of work without permission??
I don't know if this is an appropriate place to post this, so apologies if not... I came across a hardback book a few months ago. The third chapter of the book is a technical article which I wrote and published on my personal web page about 8 years ago. While I am credited by name for the chapter, neither the authors nor…

kustompcs.co.uk
Despite fierce competition, there are still some high quality components you can only easily get from kustompcs so when I needed some quiet case fans I ordered from them rather than off some unknown ebayer, although the price difference made me cringe a bit. But it was all good though when I had to check on the order…

Dam you British Telecom
:mad: It does'nt matter what I do I just can't seem to get away from them. I have Talk Talk for my line rental and Orange for my BB provider. When I first took out the package I was getting 8m broadband, over the last few days my bandwidth dropped considerably. So I checked my BB speed, it had in fact dropped by half. I…

Demon Internet: complaint, anyone?
I've been a loyal customer of Demon.net for nearly 4 years, through 3 house moves and all. However, following my last house move I'm wondering if I've done the right thing by signing up to them again. I called them to give my notice on my last account; well within their 30-day limit, and confirmed the termination date of…

John Lewis time expired Gift Vouchers
For some reason, apparently related to the buyer using loyalty points to purchase them, John Lewis Gift Vouchers I was given had an expiry date. Despite looking at the vouchers I failed to notice they could expire. I also forgot I had them, until they turned up in a big clear out a couple of days ago - but already time…

They have just issued all new cards and with it a free "treat". You could have 2 classes of treat, an activity or a pamper. Immediately I got my card I…

Royal Mail and Michel Thomas.
I've got two sets of people to praise. One is Royal Mail. My son sent from the UK quite a heavy envelope to me in Spain and put on it ONE first-class stamp. Royal Mail have delivered it, with a sticker on the back saying that they couldn't send it airmail, so they have chosen an alternative method. When my son told me what…
