TripAdvisor: the truth, and nothing but the truth?
We like TripAdvisor for the way it publishes the objective views of those who contribute to it. Like MSE. We've contributed a few comments to Trip Advisor, all of 'em favourable where our own hotel experiences have been concerned. . . Bar one. That was a report of a stay at a particular Barcelona hotel earlier this year.…

Tomy
Hi all For some reason, I'm under the impression that companies on the web have to have a contact telephone number. I may be wrong of course! I'm trying to contact Tomy, as I want to place an order via their site and can't find a tel no. The order takes advantage of two special offers they have, but for some reason only…

Tonight there was someone I dont remember seeing before serving some guy buying beers and she was saying she didnt have change and doesnt know what she will do if someone comes in with a £20 note.

Dixons -appalling customer service

Praise for Legoland
I wanted to praise Legoland for the way they helped us when my daughter had an Asthma attack whilst we were there. The staff were excellent. First Aid swiftly acted once we realised my daughter's breathing was worse than I had first thought. Security took care of my car - even coming to pick me up from the hospital which…

Not sure if I am in the right forum or not. I booked a B&B at the end of September, intending to stay next Tues (20th Oct). Within the confirmation was a 14 day cancellation requirement. Unfortunately, I had to cancel on Sunday (11th October) due to Family reasons and I am not able to go to Edinburgh at all. I was advised…

Sky - blatantly lying to people in flats
Grr. I received a letter from Sky saying "Fortunately, your flat is already fitted with a communal satellite system come and sign up blah blah" etc which I thought was odd as I've been trying to get fellow leaseholders to join me in getting Sky (if 4 of us do it we get it installed for free). So, I walk around the building…

I've been "ripped-off" on MSE !!!!
I keep opening new threads on this site which have "rip-off" in the title, but when I read them there isn't a rip-off in sight ! I have just read one where Venice is described as a "rip-off" purely because it is expensive - obviously the OP hasn't been following the state of the Pound against the Euro ! I feel, quite…

Daylight saving - I'd like to make a withdrawal please!
Ok, we can all feel it approaching - the weekend when the clocks go back, so why do we do it? :confused: . What possible reason do we have for making the already dark evenings even darker?
