SWIFT International Money Transfer Warning
If you are in the UK you might care to pay particular attention to this. . . In case anyone is tempted to use this service here's my story. On July 29th I sent £1250 to an account overseas using a "Nationwide" B.S. (Banking Service ???). They told me it was a 48 hour service, but, three weeks later the money has not…

Doorstep Charity Collectors (again)
I know it has been discussed before.... but this is war. At 8.40pm, just gone dark, there was a loud hammering at my front door. Two weeks ago a neighbour had something similar, three masked thugs demanding money. So I dashed upstairs, opened the bedroom window and shouted down. It was a Scope charity collector, who…

Amazon!
I am so angry at amazon right now. I ordered a load of stuff of them, I used prime delivery. They sent everything (worth over £400) VIA royal mail. (1st class) I only got 3 things, and the best thing is the post man left them outside of my house till I came home and found them. Now... They told me to wait 14 days. And I…

Vent & Warning! Mobile Call Charges!
Well, I have been with Orange for a few years now and have found them to be an OK company to be with. I suppose they're all samey. I travel quite frequently all over the world, and any time that i have used my phone abroad I have obviously had to pay the charges, which I thought were fair, for the destinations I had…

MSE - Forcing me to WORK
This is an absolute outage, oops sorry, outrage, the MSE is forcing me to do some work today at 3 O’clock in the aft-noon. Their insistence that soft software geeky bog eyed wizard is somehow going to make this forum a better place for all, is probably over hyped codswallop. I say power to the boreders and let us mutiny…

50p charge on all transactions under £10
A lot of the smaller shops around me do do this 50p charge thing Just wondering are shops genuinely charged a certain amount for card transactions under a tenner, or are they just pure money grabbers, hoping you will spend more than you need just to avoid this 50p charge?

PRAISE: Wickes
We've just had great service from Wickes. My son ordered some shelving from the website. The order didn't seem to go through so he tried again and everything went through. About half an hour later we got a phonecall to say they'd noticed that two orders had gone through - did we want the two because we would be paying two…

McDonalds Chicken Nuggets Quality Reducing??
Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed over the last few weeks that McDonalds appear to have REDUCED the chicken content in McNuggets? They were quite 'meaty' in texture, with a little bit of the 'bread-like' glue that sticks the nugget together, but they seem to have recently changed so that there is a lot more of the…

Goodbye Nationwide sort of vent
I have a Nationwide FlexAccount and credit card for using abroad while on holiday. I have a Capital One cashback crdit card that I use for my normal spending at home. So I get a letter from Nationwide today explaining that they are proud to be different. So no free stuff abroad anymore. To qualify for the FREE European…

Hi all This is my first post, so apologies if I fail to follow etiquette, but there's something I'd like to get off my chest. My wife has a savings account with Alliance and Leicester / Santander.

Villa booking rant !!!!
Aarghh! Now does this sound dodgy or what? Had an email conversation with a florida villa owner about possible rental of a villa. They were offering 13 nights for the price of 7 (because we'd have to spend first night in hotel). Anyway, last email came at 9pm at night. At 12pm I emailed back to say I'd have it. That was 3…
