Vent - Raileasy: tried once, never again!
Yesterday I tried using Raileasy for the first time, as seen on MSE. I had real problems with them when it came to the payment stage with repeatedly getting "Transaction Declined".

Royal Mail £1 Handling fee.
I just received a card saying I have to pay £1.10 to collect a undelivered letter. Apparently the sender didn't put enough postage on the letter. 10p less then it should have been and because of this, the RM is adding £1 as a handling fee. :eek: I am refusing to pay it. If I don't go and pay to collect, will they return…

Excellent Service From Sky!
Just wanted to praise Sky (for a change) Box went into standby mode this evening and I could not get it to turn on no matter how many times I tried.

Morrisons fish problems
I've had a few bad experiences recently. Mackerel. Sold whole. When I gutted this, it was stinking (it must be sold in 2-3 days max as the high oil content means that it goes rancid. If stored whole, the danger is doubled). Ray (often sold as skate). Prepacked 'fresh'. Had two of these on separate occasions. Both were…

Insurance comparison websites & follow-up spam
Back in March/April time I browsed around a few comparison sites to get car insurance quotes. When entering my details I made a point of ticking the "no contact" boxes which I do as a matter of course with anything anyway and go to great pains to seek them out. So far, so normal. About a month ago I started getting cold…

I have to wear a medical bracelet due to anaphylaxis, but have been without one for too long (tempting fate!). After a fairly nasty reaction, I decided it was time to replace it urgently. I looked at a number of websites and decided to order from ICEGems as they are very reasonably priced, and offer a 2day turnaround for…

Cinema
I know there has probably been a thread about this before but I wish people going to the cinema would be quiet! I went to Sex In the City yesterday it was a 5pm showing and there were only about 30 people in total who came to see the film so hardly anyone there. A couple a few rows away thought it would be funny to…
