I was sent an email warning me of this but it went straight into my junk mail box so they went ahead and took the payment from my credit card even though my expiry had changed.…

So glad I am leaving the Halifax

Everything went swimmingly until today when I checked my standing orders. My Halifax account had gone overdrawn because two SO's…

Today while returning home with it full of groceries, I caught the wheel while lifting it onto the bus and the wheel shattered. I…

247 spares/DHL - DON'T TOUCH WITH A BARGEPOLE!!
To cut a long story short, I made the mistake of ordering a part from a supplier through 247 spares. Stupidly, I did so without researching the company first.

Yahh for Samsung/Olliesdad!
Purchased a 42" Samsung television in Jan 2008 - lots of money to us, a joint birthday/xmas/new house present to each other! Obviously gutted when it developed a fault in September 2009 when the picture became distorted and took over 1/2 hr to settle each time. Contacted Dixons, who we bought it from, but they wanted an…

copella downsized from 1l to 750ml
I'm sick of things being downsized Copella is the latest - 1l bottles have been about £1.89 for a few months now. They have now made the bottles smaller to 750ml and just dropped the price to £1.69 Cheeky devils. This now is not only more expensive but also creates more waste. I've noticed shloer have done it too:mad:
