BT Reduced Calling Plan Scam
A quick word of warning. I received a telephone call from a 'Tim Davies' today who stated he was calling from BT with good news regarding my calling plan. He sounded very plausible saying that due to 'new regulations' my line rental would be reducd to £9.99 a month including VAT etc. He gave a very detailed talk about how…

John Lewis - Estee Lauder counter. Pleased as punch.
Really pleased with the service I received on Saturday. I called in to buy two items because it was Estee Lauder Gift Time. One of the items I needed was Bronze Goddess, a facial bronzer that is only generally sold in the summer. The assistant said 'Thats the last one so you may as well take the tester as well.' She even…

ASDA Bread
Do any other local ASDA's reduce the price of their bread as much as the one near me? I like to buy their large Hedgehog loafs which cost £1+ but if I go just a little into the afternoon I find dozens of them reduced to literally 5p with a 'Ooops!' sticker on, just because it is a tiny bit mis-shapen. They do the same with…

Advice about Saladmaster [text deleted by MSE Forum Team]

Sky
We recently took out a subscription with Sky for tv, phone and broadband and decided to cancel our services from Virgin. After being messed about by Sky on the broadband side and discovered that we weren't actually going to get what we were told when we joined them we quickly cancelled them under the cooling off period and…

Asics British 10k Run
I did this run a few weeks ago and it was a good event except for one thing. It cost about £34 to enter and on receiving the pack I was informed that they could not send a program due to the warehouse flooding and ruining the programmes. To make up for this they said they have enclosed a special running t-shirt worth…

The Bank of Scotland RANT
:mad::mad::mad: To say I am mad is putting it mildly. I had a bond mature several weeks ago and usually just roll it over for another 2 years. But this time I needed some money out so was just investing slightly less. Firstly I had to see a financial adviser who did not listen to a word I said and tried to get me to invest…

Google?
Has anyone else had a phone call supposedly from Google asking if you wanted your website to be No 1 in your area? Didn't get around to how much it was but it did not seem to ring true and I could not imagine Google phoning me anyway.
