Extended warranties. Are they of any use at all?
I have a friend who is a bit of a sucker for extended warranties, but are these of any use at all rather than just poor value? It appears that the items purchased will be covered under the Sales of Goods Act for up to 6 years. Perhaps if there is an extended warranty being peddled with them this is sufficient proof that…

Tesco Petrol promotion
Me and my girlfriend were in Tesco today, and we reckoned we probably hadn't met the £50 for the petrol promotion (turned out to be £44). Now clearly one solution is to buy more food that doesn't expire in the short term that we would have bought eventually anyway, but I thought that I'd first ask the guy on checkouts if…

I despise direct debits
Hi Is it just me or does anyone else here hate using direct debits.

Now I don't use them at all, and I pay the companies when I want to as apposed to when they feel like taking it. I…
