Cheeky Kids!
We've just had some trick or treaters round, only the 2nd lot so didn't mind answering the door. 4 kids stood at the door said 'Trick Or Treat' so I gave them a small bag of Haribo sweets each. One cheeky little bleeder turns round and asks if there was anything else because he's lactose intolerant and can't eat them. The…

Alliance and Leicester/Santander rant
I got a letter in from Santander today saying that a direct debit for £108.62 had been returned unpaid because there weren't sufficient funds in my account. As I have no direct debits for that amount of money I went onto online banking and checked, the direct debit was for pet insurance and usually only costs £48.60. I…

Right of reply from Vonage: Hello. Our company, both in the UK and US have been receiving calls with regards to nuisance calls from the number 091148. The number is actually an agency that Vonage used back in 2008 for outbound calling, but hasn't worked with since. Back to the original post.... I have had several silent…

Virgin mobile
I've had Virgin mobile 300mins/300 texts for about three years and been reasonably satified, excpet the bills were always between 20 and 80 pence more than the £10 monthly cost. As I don't use more that 60 mins/20 texts a month I thought I'd cancel and switch to payg. I phoned Virgin and they told me the high cost of payg…

Private buyers, raaah
I've been selling various bits and bobs through Gumtree, Trade-it etc and what really does not rock my socks is people who ring up, sound interested, agree a time to come out and get the item and then never show. And never ring or text to say they're not coming. Its not hard you useless, discourteous halfwit b******s , you…

The Tesco wine order system is currently incapable of accepting payment by clubcard vouchers :mad: .... so the wine for DD's wedding is trapped in limbo - and no guarantee that the order will be complete/ the delivery slot still open/ the price the same by the time they've untangled their site! I even spent a frustrating…

ID check when buying non alcoholic lager!
I've just had the most ridiculous experience in Morrisons. I was buying Cobra 0%, which I buy regularly in Morrisons, and I have never been asked for ID before. Today the checkout lady looked at me and said, I need some ID. I had no idea what she was talking about at first, as I'm 38 (and look it!), so I've never had to…
