MUCH praise for the local independent shops

A few months back I used the local chemist - I didn't have enough cash to pay for my prescription, so he let me take my stuff and to "pop in the £2 next time you're passing" He got my business from then on;) Last…

Don't use Talk Talk/Tiscali
My recent letter to Talk Talk/Tiscali 'customer services' (ha!!) says it all: [FONT="]October 2010 Dear Sir, I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how utterly pathetic your customer service department is, in my opinion.

Tickemaster - Can't buy a pair of tickets, but can buy single tickets twice?
I've spent the last month moaning about the price of the KOL tickets, but finally gave in for the sake of my DP who would love to see them live. Checked all the sites I could think of and Ticketmaster seemed to have a very small amount of tickets left...now it appears that I can order a single standing ticket for £54 + £5…

sites that only publish positive reviews (restaurant-guide.com)
