Should i report it?
We live on a greened area where the houses run perpendicular to the road and it connects at the bottom to a cul-de-sac. I was just in my porch about to leave the house and watched a van drive up the grass from the cul-de-sac down the grassed area and pavement and off the other end onto the road. The reason i am so annoyed…

Co-OP and the tale of age verification
*Sigh* sometimes I dispare, totally and utterly. I was asked for ID because I wanted to buy chicken chasseur with red wine and herbs. Why was I asked for ID? Because it contains wine!! Less than 5.5% wine, mixed in with chicken and sauce and all sorts of other stuff so even if I was under 18 I am hardly going to suck the…

Royal Mail Delivery Driver
It was only last week I wrote to Royal Mail praising their service and my postman after I watched "Dispatches: Post Office Undercover" and saw how bad an image they portrayed of RM. Then today my good perception of it soured when a parcel came, more so annoying because it wasn't even for me but something a friend had…

Rant: Why is being 'overqualified' such a problem?
Okay, rant alert: I've been applying for temporary jobs for months now, through online temp agencies, going to see temp agencies in person, and through job websites, like gumtree and monster.

So my girlfriend went out on Sunday to purchase a copy of the above mentioned paper, she bought it at our local Sainsbury (we don't go in the Co Op after all the problems we have had there), upon checking the receipt it seems there was an age verification check to show she was over 16. Does anyone know why this is? One…

Right lot of Turkey's
Well, could have been, but last week I had to give Freda what for and she did not get a right gobble on some Mini Kiev’s she had bought her beloved for snacks with his hogwash (Bateman's XXXB). She had to make do with a miserly amount as I gulfed and quaffed the lot. Being a little short and the fact that Freda can count,…

BlindsUK.net
I ordered venetian blinds for my house on 25th January and on the website, you had to click to accept their terms and conditions before you could order. Most of this centred around ensuring you got your measurements right etc so thought nothing of it. After 2 weeks, as I had heard nothing except for the initial order…

For those of you who are interested. I picked up a multipack of R Whites Lemonade cans and noticed that the calorie content looked quite low. So looked at the ingredients and there it said Aspartame. I used to favour R Whites over Schweppes but now they are both as bad as eachother. Like several non-diet drinks (Lilt,…

Furniture123 - what to do?
I'm now at the very end of my tether with this feeble excuse for a company. Having ordered a 4 piece children's bed set from them back on the 1st November I have only just received the bed.The original date given was 4-6 weeks from order. This would have been fine as I wasn't moving into my new house until Jan 2010. Then…

They sent me the padded envelope, I sent the phone and charger to them and they e-mailed me (2 weeks later) with confirmation that they'd tested it and would pay me within 7 days. I then…
