"very" statement, unexpected
"very", previously known as "additions", sent me a statement out of the blue with £20 credit on it. I haven't got an account with them. :huh: Unsure if this was a strange marketing ploy or a case of identity theft I rang the no to 0870 number - 0800 180 000 - and got through to "first". Adviser stated that this is a system…

Pets at home-bad service online and in real life!
Hi, I ordered a cat toy online and when it was delivered it didnt have the most important bit attached! I called up and complained and the guy I spoke to was very nice and gave me a 10% discount to spend on anything I wanted.

Cannock Beds - Disaster!
Hi there. Really wanted to post on here to see if anyone else has had problems with Cannock Beds? They seem to be a company limited to Scotland in terms of stores but are also linked to a couple of the big bed websites. I am currently enduring what has now become a 14 week dispute with them and am almost at the end of my…

Student Protest/Riots
After watching the news coverage of the Student protests/riot yesterday I personally think that any cost related to it, ie Police cost, cleaning up cost etc, should be deducted from next years budget for Universities. I know this is extreme but watching some of the pictures it was very disturbing. Also anyone caught on…

Two Minute Silence Rant
I was at work today and we held a two minutes silence for Remembrance Day but I was shocked at the attitude of some staff, managers and customers. The three staff on the department I work on stood together at the end of our aisles with our heads lowered between the announcements but some staff and managers just carried on…

They then charge me £9.99 & took that money off the debit card I gave them when paying for the cessasion charge I phoned up annoyed & they…

What details do mobile companies share?
Good evening all. I'm a long time browser of these forums but this is the first time I've posted. It's prompted by the - seemingly now obligatory - mobile phone insurance cold call I received earlier today from an 0845 number with a recorded message if you call it back. I upgraded my phone through Orange very recently. The…

Saks offer in MSE weekly email
Ok, so I saw the offer in the MSE weekly email for half price cut and finish at Saks hair salon (£18 instead of £36). I thought I would treat my wife as she can normally only afford a cheap place as we are on benefits. I checked on their website and discovered they were also offering a cut and finish and luxury facial for…

Currys price increase
At the end of October ( 29th ) I was looking at Acer netbooks on the web and found this one at Currys , Pc World and Dixons at £239.99 which ticked all the boxes for what I was after. After searching the internet I found that Currys was the cheapest place to buy it from so returned on the 2nd November with a view to…

Boots Advantage Card 1200 Extra Points
I attended a Boots Advantage Card evening last night under the impression that would receive a "bonus" 1200 points (as the Boots advertisements suggest) when I spent over £50. This, however, is not the case. Yes you do receive 1200 points when you spend £50 but 200 of these points are the basic ones that you would receive…

Amazon promoting pedophilia?

Amazon are promoting a Kindle ebook that describes itself as "my attempt to make pedophile situations safer" and "result in less hatred and perhaps liter [sic] sentences should they ever be caught." Amazon Pedophile Guide Reviews (link goes to the reviews page not the product page) This is…

Fed up of blurry cookery shows
Just watching Nigel Slater & I am feeling sea-sick! I hate the way the camera goes in & out of focus. What's with most of these programmes showing too close (for my liking) close-ups of either food or the presenter? I want to see how they make stuff not the pores on their faces :eek: while they gurn over the sea-salt…

Got notified of the exchange deal and decided to use this instead of the normal 4 times for meals & days out we usually take. Visited the store to get glass's from…
