Just got a visit from the TV Licencing people
Hi, I just had a tv licence visit and was caught a bit off guard. I opened the door and set up a direct debit. Now, I'm totally against paying TV Licencing - (Please don't post anything if you don't like this, i'm really not interested) as I don't watch BBC and I pay taxes every month (which add up to nearly £500 per…

Praise - UPS

Typhoon drysuits - beware!!!
Just a warning to anyone who's thinking of buying one of these. I ordered a surface drysuit through my local typhoon stockist only to find when it arrived that the advertised latex socks were actually inferior drysuit fabric socks. I was advised (convinced by experienced staff) that they should work fine anyway and so…

off to a Festival? Avoid the Green Tent Company!
I didn't use these guys myself, but plenty of Download Festival goers did with terrible results. A little investigation reveals they actually changed their T&C's on the day of the festivial incinuating that all purchasers were 'guinea pigs' for the company. A real interesting read, especially for anyone attending Leeds…

Washing Machine from Comet - be aware of how they will treat you.
I bought a washing machine from Comet on the 3/4/10. It ran ok until the 19/4/10 and I called them up. Can you fix my machine. Yes, but not for 12 days. I said ok and I wish I hadn't.

RANT: Envirofone
Oh dear, what an annoying experience with Envirofone. Sent a Sony Ericcson into them, they quoted £12.10p on their site. Thought that was fair enough, what with it being a fairly old phone. Its a W395, so £12 was a fair price. Had an email from them today saying there was a problem and was given a number to call. When I…

It is however a front for a U.S. company that takes up to six weeks to deliver your lenses and even then you can expect HM Customs to have intercepted your delivery and…

Rant - Life on the dole must be luxury!
Hi All, I just wondered whether some unemployed people actually want to work? I've recently been looking for specific tradesmen (or women) to work on short term contracts on a building site, which is the usual way of working for self employed contractors. After placing an advert on the jobcentre plus website I received…
