Issues with company used by the council
Almost a year ago the coucil began work on the roof of the property in which we live. Although the work is now complete we had many problems. One which has just recently been resolved was the tv aerial. This was moved during the work, and everytime it rained the freeview signal was lost. I phoned them and asked them to…

Clever credit/debit card scam
OK, this was probably a genuine error - but it's worth a 'heads up' anyway IMHO. Buy something and offer to pay by card (in my case it was a meal in a restaurant) and the assistant/waiter/whoever presents you with the machine (in restaurants it's frequently a cordless one these days) into which you put your card, they…

As I'd been on their website I knew if you got more than one of an item you got a discount on postage. Wrong! if Id bought 2…

Store cards and 18 yr old Staff - criminal!
I was just made aware of the system currently employed by high street clothing stores when their staff become 18. Apparently once they are of age the staff part time or otherwise are all issued with a store card with which they can make purchases and receive their staff discount. Of course if they don't want or ned a store…

Amtrak
Don't order anything online if Amtrak are delivering it - here's my experience. Ordered a 32" TV online, cheaper than Argos - who didn't have it in stock - but with the delivery charge the cost was the same. Advised that it would be delivered by Amtrak on Tuesday. Tuesday came and went, no sign. Phoned Amtrak on Wednesday,…

Hi all bought a lovely pair of leather boots in November 07 for about £70, from Clarks. Have worn them a couple of times a week since then in all weather.

City Link - delivery driver lied about trying to deliver package
I ordered a £100 graphics card from http://www.misco.co.uk on Wednesday and decided to opt for next day delivery via their delivery company City Link, which cost me £11.74. Within half an hour of my placing the order, it was despatched, so I expected to receive it early today. It got to mid afternoon and I was surprised it…

24studio / studio cards rant
I feel i have to vent - I was browsing for watches a week ago and found a lovely one on the 24studio.co.uk website, half price - £14.99. Brilliant, thinks I! I tried to add it to the basket and it kept saying item not found. Emailed them to ask them what the problem was, but in the meantime with a bit of tinkering I…
