Good CS: Orange
Got my Orange bill through yesterday and decided it was time to take action over something I'd been meaning to do for months - last time I upgraded, they asked if I wanted a couple of "packages" added on a 2 month trial basis...I could tell right from then that I'd end up paying for them whatever, but they assured me all…

Beware Mcdonalds free coke glasses
Last sunday, 4 days into heavily advertised promotion, I ordered 6 large meals but was told no glasses were available. I asked for a receipt so that I could collect them when new stock arrived. The manager was fetched and he told me this was not possible. I would have to return and buy more meals. I think this is unfair…

Beware cards with a badge
Just a warning (not a rant!!) to all those who might be sending a birthday card which sports a jolly badge - put extra postage on it as the badge puts it in the next price bracket. Someone sent one to DS, the additional cost was 6p - added to that was £1 fee plus a journey across the other side of town to collect it. Of…

Clarks have put their prices up by over 15%! Last pair lasted just 6 weeks!!
I just wanted to have a moan about Clarks really really. 6 weeks ago I bought DD some trainers - I was suckered into buying those ones with the toy in the heel - but 6 weeks on and the strap has stretched so much that the velcro tabs do not even meet and the trainer is falling off when she walks. They cost me £26!! So I…

Direct Flooring - returns policy
We bought £500+ of laminate flooring from the Dundee store of Direct Flooring earlier this month. Once we got it home, we realised that it was completely wrong for the room we had bought it for, and took all 27 packs back, unopened, to the store, expecting to be able to get our money refunded. Not so. The company policy -…

I paid £69.99 to Three for their 3 month prepaid mobile broadband and modem,and all I got in return was a huge pile of aggro and no internet connection.

Budget Van Insurance
I am sure their insurance is just fine - but their marketing methods leave a little to be desired. Got an email at work to say that Budget were having a free car wash at the local Jewson and did we want to send our vans along. Reading further into it - is seems that the car wash will be provided by 5 scantily clad models…

Should I now take it to court?
Sorry if I have posted in the wrong place, please feel free to move. I have had an ongoing complain with UU since Dec 07. Please see prev thread.
