A big thank you to the check out girl in Asda
Went shopping in Asda yesterday, at the check out we'd got some birds eye pies. The girl said would we like the Asda mag, she then went on to say that there's a coupon in there for the pies, let me tear it out for you, so we saved on that, and then she gave us a card and said that if we put our receipt number on the…

Maplin Vent
I had to return a cable to Maplin today. I bought it after asking Maplin staff which one would do the job and it didn't - totally wrong connectors. I decided I'd have a refund as I'd decided not to continue with the project I'd bought it for. Anyway it was rather like a session with the Gestapo than a shop! The manager…

Swalec
Just moved house and in the usual ring rounds to provide my gas and electricity meter readings I contacted Swalec. The lady on the phone 'Pat' was fantastic. She immediately noted that I was on a mobile and called me back so that I wasn't using my credit on a free phone number. Swalec has been very good in all my dealings…

D & A opticians - beware
I recently went to my local D&A opticians for a sight test and contact lens assesment. I have worn contact lenses for over 15 years, but not during the last 9 months, so that is why I went.

Bouncing cheques. How many are you allowed ?
I ask as someone who has had several cheques, which have bounced, from a 'friend' I loaned money to... I am not alone. This person has been dishing out 'bouncing' cheques all over the place. If these cheques are going back to the bank, why doesn't the bank put a stop to it. I really do need advice on this. I'm out of my…

About 6 months ago, the name on the bill changed to a completely different and unknown name. I think the first month I didn't even notice; the second I…
