Foxy Bingo have ditched 'Trivia Galore'
I'm absolutely gutted about this. For anyone not familiar with Foxy Bingo they used to (until yesterday) run a chat game called 'Trivia Galore' between 11am-1pm and 7pm-9pm each day. At the end of each game a trivia question popped up and the first player with the correct answer won £1 of credit. I deposited £10 in cash…

Impressed with Dyson customer service!
My washing machine broke down on Thursday (about 9 years old and not under warranty) I rang dyson helpline - very polite friendly staff. The first slot for an engineer was 21st Oct, but they said they would try to get one earlier - very apologetic and said they understood that no washing machine was an urgent problem.…

Well done 'Speke Hall'
I went along to Speke Hall today with the kids. It is a fascinating place. However my praise is for the staff. A number of them are volunteers, and are 'older' staff. They really came across as being interested and helpful. It was really good. If all staff were like that we'd be in a better world. Speke Hall - you should…

I questioned this, but they told me they make nothing from it and the prices were set by Tag. I decided to shop around and was told…
