Praise for Tunetribe
After venting my annoyance at poor service, Tunetribe have more than redeemed themselves. Whilst a delay in up to 72 hours to respond to problems is poor, the response when it comes is excellent. The price and usability of the MP3 files (take note itunes) more than makes up for it.

Praise for Pataks
Last week I contacted Pataks to complain about the plastic taste in their mango chutney from a ready to eat pappadums kit. They emailed the next day to reply and say they would reimburse me. Yesterday I received a £5 goodwill cheque. The kit only cost me about £1.50!! Fantastic customer services. Why can't they all be like…

SKY Television and how complaining is a waste of time
Recently had the requirement to have a Sky technician attend my house to resolve a couple of issues. After being shouted at and verbally abused, I ordered the technician from my house.

Restaurants and tipping
I've a bone to pick with restaurants near where I live in London. The majority seem happy to apply a 12.5% service charge, and even a charitable donation of £2, on top of a restaurant bill. At the weekend this happened, and I paid in cash - the amount for the meal, plus 10%, which was generous given the lukewarm service.…

Can I get away with not using a stamp?
It really gets on my nerves how companies don't provide pre-paid envelopes when they ask for replies. How likely is that a letter I put in the post to a company (say National Savings & Investments) gets delivered if I don't use a stamp? I'm more than happy if the recipient gets charged! And if not, what will happen to the…
