Impressed at the bodyshop
I don't normally shop in the bodyshop as I find it expensive for what it is, but they have got a really good sale on at the moment. I went into the store in Derby on Friday, and a lovely sales assistant served me. She gave me a lovely compliment about the dress I was wearing - and you could tell it wasn't one of those…

why some always support the big brands
This looks to me bit suspicious, are they working for them or any hidden contract between them. If you say you have problem with TESCO, Comet or any other big brands, you can see many people and talk to save them and tell us to go back to your work properly. But if you tell some asd.co.uk not doing well they will come and…

She phoned up and complained and was told the fresh food portion of the shop would be refunded. These items should all have been reduced in store and not sent to customers paying full price…

NatWest
My wife got paid yesterday so as I was sat watching the TV last night I decided to pay all the bills for the month online. One of these was for a new Tesco Credit Card. It took me a couple of attempts to set it up but then it seemed fine. Today whilst at work I noticed a missed call on my mobile with a voicemail message. I…

Tesco Loo Roll...
Hi all, Not so much a vent, rather than a curiousity. Last week we did our big shop in Tesco instead of our regular Asda, and one of the items we purchased was a pack of their own loo roll. It was an 8 pack (I think), and on each roll used so far it seems like it's shedding quite a bit on the edges, like it was badly cut…

I've overpaid Studio by £40 - the goods I ordered never turned up - but I was told I had to pay each month as they had 6 weeks to deliver the goods and they would slap me with a £12 late payment fee if I didn't pay them.
