My BSM driving school nightmare
I started lessons with BSM under the false impression that their instructors must be better, as they are a more well-known company. I was drawn in by a cheaper introductory deal on 10 hours of lessons so I thought I'd give them a go. The first 10 hours went very well, my instructor, seemed nice and cheery, a middle-aged…

Rant: Inconsiderate dog owners !
Over the last few weeks we have found an increasing amount of dog mess left in the middle of the pavement near our house, often right outside our driveway.

Royal Mail/Junk Mail
The postman stuck a card through my letterbox which stated that a letter was being held at the depot because it was understamped. The card gave details of when and where I could collect it.

I thought he was going to a neighbours house and considering OH would be out all day we don't need the space so I didn't mind. OH gets home and the car…

First Direct - Different Banking
I was aprehensive about switching current accounts, I'd been with Natwest for 15 years... The switch over has been smooth, and their phone service first class (no holding in queue, english operators friendly service...)
