Recycling - whats the difference?
Each week I flatten my cat and dog food boxes along with any other cardboard and put this out for the recycle collection. Today they missed me. When I rang to let the council know I was grilled in whether I was a business or if I ran a cattery etc? Does it really matter? I thought the whole point of recycling was as long…

Sharp Microwaves
My last Sharp microwave suddenly died around 2 months after the guarantee ran out. We thought we were just unlucky so went for another, based on the design and cost of them. Our most recent one is now also ready for the tip, the inside is very rusty, which in turn has stained the white interior. The turntable also stops…

Sainsburys & 21 month old TWF television

Monday evening, the tv gave up the ghost, and politely told DD to 'go away'. I telephoned a tv engineer yesterday morning,…

Charles Church Builders "fair share" deal???
Can anyone help or advise me on this "fair share" deal being offered???, in a nutshell, the new home builder lends you 25% of the property value so you only mortgage 75% of value, they pay the rest, you then have either 10 years to repay them the 25% of the current market value of the house, or if you sell during the 10…

Returning new shoes
Your opinions please: I bought some shoes on Friday. When I was wearing them on Saturday, I noticed that the embroidery detailing on the front of the shoes was noticeably crooked on one shoe, which makes them look rather strange. I took them back to the shop to exchange for a non-crooked pair, but the shop didn’t have any…
