Ikea -Rare Praise!
I went into Ikea Warrington today to order 3 Pax wardrobes to be delivered. One of the assistants was really helpful and printed a list of exactly what I needed. I explained it was for home delivery, but she advised that I had to pick everything up, pay for it and then take it to the home delivery point. As I have just had…

So annoyed with car sales people
2 months ago I bought a new car. When I say it's new I mean new to me but it's actually 4 years old but it was a decent deal and my old car had started to get more and more going wrong with it. Anyway I saw the car, test drove it and liked it, we agreed a part exchange price for my old car which was £500 more than anywhere…

T-Mobile Huddersfield branch - fab staff!
Hi! Although I like a good moan and vent every now and again, I think it's important to say when things have gone well :D I popped into T-mobile in Huddersfield to upgrade my handset to the G1, and the girls who served me were great, they spent time explaining the functionality, and were really enthusiastic and genuine. I…

phishing emails to Amazon Sellers
I listed an item on Amazon last week and received an email asking a question about the product, I didn't see a 'reply' button in the Amazon email, but the email address of the asker was listed twice in the email, so I responded by clicking it and emailing directly, this gave the asker my email address. Here's the email I…

Blackpool pleasure beach - £5 to walk around!?
£5 just to walk around inside :eek: How is someone walking around with mates/kids/etc who isn't going on the rides costing them £5?? There's no possible way to get on the rides without your wristband or tickets, so it's not like these people can sneak on.

Co-op - offers on shelf not discounted at till
Went to our local medium sized Co-op today (bigger than a local store, smaller than e.g. Asda), looking for laundry liquid. Spent quite a while comparing the non-bio range, and selected Co-op's own Gel wash as it was priced on the shelf as £2.49, so was the cheapest, and looked like reasonable value. Got charged £2.99 at…

NPower Homecare Boiler service
Booked an NPower boiler service for £49 after a tip off on MSE and was very impressed with the service. Chap called to let us know he was on the way, well within the allotted time slot. He carried out the 30 point service (as he should do!) but also told us how to top up the water in the pressurised system (which no-one…

Fairgrounds. Conning gits!
I've been annoyed about this since last night so I'm having a rant to get it out my system. OH took our 9 year old to the fair that was visiting. There was the usual stalls and rides etc and daughter had a go on a hoopla stall. You had to throw a hoop over a bottle and if you won, you got £20. The bloke told daughter and…

W.H. Smith - Paddington Station, London
I had to make a very last minute urgent train trip to Plymouth last week and didn't have time to shop locally before I left home. Had thumping headache and needed painkillers, diet coke and some chewing gum plus small bar of chocolate for trip. That little lot cost me £6.50 odd. I know it sounds really petty but I'm so…

Travelodge, Vicar Lane, Leeds.
Stayed there last Sunday night, couldnt fault it. Clean, modern, comfy beds and professional staff. Didnt eat there but saw quite a lot of other people doing so and it looked quite good. Could imagine it could be quite noisy on a Saturday night as its on a main road but Sunday night was quite quiet. The only downside was…

Spending more than 3 months abroad - NHS Entitlement
Does anyone know what NHS services you are entitled to if you spend between three to six months living in a non EU country? I was lucky enough to spend last winter in Florida. Now have a hospital appointment and they are asking me to fill out a form stating if I have a passport and whether I have spent more than three…

The One Show - Dom
Last night, I was at my parents' and they were watching The One Show. Dom had a segment on there talking about the SOGA. That in itself is fair enough, it's very useful legislation. The problem I have is when he mentioned people being 'fobbed off' when directed to the manufacturer to sort out a problem. As I work selling a…

Subscription to The Times
Just thought I would warn any subscribers to The Times who have been on a good deal for a few years that they are hiking the weekly cost. I got in my renewal letter today to say that the weekly cost of my subscription was going up from £4 to £6. Have phoned straight away to cancel as I have been thinking about ending my…

Acer Customer Service
I'm sooooo angry and cross right now I just need to vent...... I brought a Acer Aspire 8920G laptop which arrived and was fantastic the shiniest looking machine ever! and it worked well that was until I had had it 4 days and it wouldn't turn on. (very annoying as I had just got it to the 'fully working' stage the night…
