E.ON Company Representatives
Just a small but consistent thing. When these guys post, they try to get to the bottom of the Customer's problems and they try to guide them through the regular E.ON system, burt offer to get involved if that is not working out. I like their approach. It contrasts with the approach of the Company Representatives for a…

The Wheatsheaf, Wirksworth near Matlock well worth a visit
We recently went camping near Matlock with friends, and on the Sunday after a couple of days of basic food we decided to go out for Sunday Lunch.

APH airport parking - DO NOT USE!

After getting a discount through my car insurer, I booked a week's parking with APH (Gatwick airport) earlier this year. After a lovely holiday, I returned to APH to discover that substantial damage had been caused to…

Royal Mail Rant!
I've bottled this up for far too long! I live next to an alleyway and for sometime now the postman has been leaving parcels on my doorstep in full view of everyone passing instead of returning them to the sorting office - obviously can't be asked to fill in a piece of card! The straw that broke the camels back was my OH's…

Well Fired? More like well ******!
Just been into the local Sainsbury's as we had ran out of bread, and on searching the 'in store' baked goods, I came across a round uncut type of bread that was as black as the hole of Calcutta. When I say black - I mean black! I don't mean a 'well done crust' I mean black - literally burnt to a cinder. On examining the…

rant- over crowded sports direct shop
beats me how this place got (if any) a fire safety certificate- clothes stacked on top of each other, going up about 30 feet or so?? also hardly any room beween racks, so making way for someone passing gets me a dig in the side from a hidden hanging rail (clothes draped, or rather abandoned, over it..) 'security' is a…
