B & Q - self service checkouts
I don't know what other B & Q stores are like but my local store has recently installed self-service check-outs and removed ALL manned tills. I have been through them 3 times since they were installed and every single time, the machine either won't recognise an item or won't accept cash or just simply freezes. I thought it…

Subway Kids meal waste
Is it just me or has anyone else notice how Subway chain waste bread when making a kids meal sub? I hate it when the cut off 2" from a half sub just to make a smaller kids sub and throw that end away. Okay its not a lot of bread but sure when you add up all the kids meals and ends thrown away it must mount up to some…

not a warning just a comment about using saynoto 0870
I used saynoto to look up an 0845 number and called the company on the 0800 no. saynoto gave. While the receptionist put me through to the relevant department she also was quite insistant that the next time I called I should use the correct direct dial number for that department and asked me to make a note of it. I got put…

Jean Patrique - third party junk mail
I ordered some cheap knives from Jean Patrique as recommended in the MSE weekly newsletter. I had never ordered anything else to the address used so know it was JP who passed on my details. I always tick the boxes for my details not to be passed on anywhere. Since then I've received an envelope full of junk mail from…

Royal Mail grrrr
I have had enough of Royal Mail now. I always liked to send out quotes the 'old fashioned' way, by post, as I think it looks professional and then our customers has a hard copy without having to print it out. Now though, having found out that approximately 50% of the post I sent out last month did not arrive, I am going to…

Mobile Phone Scam? I think? But not sure how it works
I am currently the "Victim" of Identity theft but i do not understand what the point of the "scam" is apart from inconvenience, am i missing something? SO far two mobile phone companies have had applications made by a telephone call (as opposed to on the web) to take out mobile phone contracts on high end phones. A lot of…

Vanquis credit card direct mail
I had a letter (read: junk mail) from Vanquis credit card company, complete with much envelope decoration about how I've been preselected for a credit card. Normally I just chuck them in the bin - but I was rather annoyed to see that the application form had my name and address pre-printed in them. I'd have thought that a…

Opticians Refusing To Disclose My Data
I had an eye test paid for by my employer, and was also entitled to free glasses. As part of that service my pupillary distance was measured, something that allowed the glasses to be fitted properly. By law, you are allowed to request a copy of your prescription to take elsewhere, to e.g. use a much cheaper internet-based…

Littlewoods Catalogue So Unreasonable
I will try to fill you in briefly with this. We have an account with Littlewoods and its in my husbands name although in the past they spoke to him and me and asked if he gave permission for me to speak to them and he said yes and they were going to make a note of this. I have spoken since then on many occasions with…

Notice to Some Taxi Drivers
1. The orange shiny things on each corner of your car are called indicators 2. The black thing sticking out of your steering column is called an indicator stalk, it makes the shiny things in item 1 flash 3. Other drivers blowing their horns and flashing their headlights at you unbelievably are NOT applauding you on your…

GAME: Disgraceful behaviour
I recently visited my local Game store with the intention of buying a new Nintendo DS XL. As usual I try and negotiate best package deal for me as the buyer. There was a package deal which included the console and one game out of a pre selection of 4 games. As none of the games were suitable to our needs, I asked if we…

Asda - bad quality footwear
Bought 2 pairs of pumps both the same for my 2 daughters on 12/3. After the 2nd time of wearing them, I noticed that on my youngest daughters pair, the stitching has come away which holds the little plastic hooks where the laces thread through. Am really mad. This is the 3rd time I will have to return some footwear because…

Debenhams - Moan.
How peed off I am. No point complaining to Debenhams as to be honest, it is really my fault for not checking the dresses in store, but with a company like Debenhams you wouldn't expect to have this problem! On 13th March I purchased a dress from the Rocha John Rocha department at Debenhams in Derby. Upon getting home, I…

Alfa Romeo Mito WARNING - avoid red
We bought a new Mito just after Christmas - absolutely love it BUT (and its a big BUT) after around 3,000 miles the paintwork around the wheel arches is beginning to shred. I've googled the problem and found this link: http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/alfa-159-brera-and-946-spider/207347-paintwork-in-tatters.html looks like…

Rudeness....
Is it me or are people becoming more ruder these days, not just other people but actually store staff. I will always hold a door open for an elderly person if they are struggling with it, and then they just barge past you, not even a word of thanks! And they have the audacity to suggest that younger people are the rude…

Mad at myself AND Travelodge
Went onto Travelodges website last night to book a room at their Guildford one, as I'm going down to oldest sons passout parade. Had stayed there before, in November for youngest sons passing out, and had been majorly happy with it. Anyway...through my OWN stupidity (and probably having a couple of chardonnays too many) I…
