Beware
Of Idiots who sign contracts without reading them then decide to come on this and rant as well as costing these companies millions of pounds a year dealing with unfounded complaints and thus increasing prices for all. Seems to just increase by the day on here. How dare my insurer autorenew when they told me they would and…

Capital FM SummerTime Ball - Fake Tickets
Firstly, before anyone says that I shouldn't of brought the fake tickets, I fully agree and have learnt the hard way. But basically I met up for someone 'selling' their Capital FM SummerTime Ball tickets, who was dressed in an estate agent suit with name badge. The tickets were of very high quality, and the ticketmaster…

Craig David's chorus on a loop?
Craig David's 'All Alone Tonight' has the same line repeated 20 time (yes I've counted them). Virtually half of the recording is made up of: Stop look yeah, listen to your heart hear what it’s saying. Am I the only one to think that's banal, boring, repetitive and lacking anything of substance? At least Da Da Da was…

Strange Morrisons Episode/ Praise
Nipped into Morrisons earlier for a pack of tobacco - bought a 14g box (the cardboard ones) of Golden Virginia. Didn't even bother to take the reciept. Got it home and went to roll a ciggy about 20 minutes later, only to struggle hard in getting the sellophane wrapper off, and equal trouble opening the box. When I got…

Ikea - Praise!
I know Ikea is one of those places that people love or hate, but they have really impressed me today! I inherited (stole!) an Ikea bed from my brother that he was no longer using. It had been taken apart a few months ago and when I came to put it together I discovered some bolts and bits missing! I went to Ikea Leeds today…

No Depp for me tonight.......
:(Thanks Asda! On the website the other day 'Preorder for delivery on the 4th June' Alice In Wonderland. So I did and it's not arrived. I phoned them to let off some steam. I knew it would be pointless but what's the point in them advertising it on their site and then failing to deliver. I said I could've stopped off on my…

Avenue35.com
Never heard of this outfit until last week when I was looking for some spanners. Placed the order last thursday night and then heard nothing. Sent an email yesterday morning (7days on) asking if the stuff I had paid £5 postage for had been shipped. No response from them yesterday and then today I get a dispatch notice. Not…

Budget Insurance BEWARE OF AUTO RENEWAL
Please be aware that if you insure via Budget they will automatically take cash to renew from the payment card you used to instigate the insurance, unless you cancel the auto renewal before the renewal date. Read the small print of the policy document, it's in there that they will do this. This has happened to me and the…

Regal Credit letters
Hi Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong forum but I wasnt too sure where I should ask. About 3 weeks ago I received a very vague letter from Regal Credit Consultants which wasn't addressed to me, it was to my address but it said 'The Occupier'. All the letter said was 'please contact a Mrs King regarding a very…

Amazon Panasonic TV warning - g20
Amazon are currently selling the Panasonic L32g20 LCD tv set on their site. They quote it as having a 200hz refresh rate when it's only 100hz. This is a pretty big deal and I've had a lot of people at work asking me if we stock the 200hz 32" panasonic. Turns out we do, except it's not 200hz. If you're buying the TV…

Electrical 123
Not a rant but praise. Needed a new fridge so ordered one from here. rang me to tell me payment hadn't gone through (i'd used wrong address) sorted that. Gave me a 2 hour time slot in which the drivers turned up. one of the drivers came in first asked where it was going (up one flight of stairs) said fine checked the walls…

Warning - NATIONAL TRUST MEMBERSHIP RIP OFF
My very elderly mother used to hold a national trust membership which ran out last sept 09. She decided she would like to rejoin and I signed her up online for a year's membership in April 2010. I signed her up online especially so she would not have to be bothered with direct debit paperwork. I discovered today that they…

Praise for Boots
I bought a Benefit mascara from Boots a while back (the plum shade) but had massive problems with it - it really dried my eyes out and made them turn bright red and exude some sort of pus. Urgh. It was definitely the mascara as I tried it a few times and this happened each time. I contacted Benefit who said to contact…

webuyanycar.com
I thought i'd post a review for webuyanycar, as when we read the reviews when we were thinking of selling our car, there were very few positive reviews and I thought they must have been put on by staff of the company! We sold our Nissan Murano 2006/06 at the Sunderland branch and the guy there couldn't have been more…

Following reading a thread on the Consumer action group I thought it was worth mentioning this here. The whole spiel sounds ridiculous to me but I know friends and family who are less technically knowledgeable and would possible fall for the salesman's patter. here is the original post; I should add, I have no experience…

Bathroom installation taking ages.
Hello, I'm currently having my bathroom done by Chandlers Kitchens & Bathrooms (bought the suite from Wickes - they use Chandlers to install) yet it's taking absolutely ages to finish, even though it should have been completed a couple of weeks ago. They gave me a proposed installation date of 4th May, with the aim of…

The Blazing Donkey in Ham, Sandwich, Kent
For anyone who does not already know of this wedding nightmare tale. Our nightmare with this wedding venue began last year when we booked our wedding at The Blazing Donkey in Ham, Sandwich, Kent (although the owner will argue that it is Deal, not Sandwich). It looked like a lovely venue for our wedding and we received a…

O2 Rant
Ordered a HTC Desire on sunday night, and was assured it was in stock. Ordered for next day delivery. Taking into account the time the order was placed, and the bank holiday, I assumed it would be treated like a Tuesday order, and delivered today. Of course as of 9.40pm, it still hasn't even been approved, and looking at…
