Comet Vent
On the 30th October a comet delivery van used our driveway to turn their van around and broke a drain cover in the driveway. The tyre must have put too much weight on it. They weren't delivering to us, or anyone in the street, they must have thought that the end of the cul de sac was a good place to turn the van round.…

Praise for London Transport
Couple of weekends ago I topped up my Pay As You Go Oyster card at Highgate Station as I left. When I went back in to go home, my Oyster card completely failed as I tried to go through the barrier, didn't tell me I had no money, just completely blank. Luckily a guard on duty let me through and the barrier was open at the…

Peeve about certain consumers
Just wanted to let off steam a little over having to chase people up for payments. Over the Christmas period, I received mountains of telephone calls, from people whose condensate pipes froze up in the bad weather. Let me post this first....

Eiregeek
Beginning of December I ordered two 7 inch netbooks costing 74 euros for my two grandchildren for Christmas. I did my research and they had been running the business from Ireland for 2 years and had 100% feedback from satisfied customers. They guaranteed delivery for Christmas but nothing came. I started to send E-mails…

Not all tradesmen rip you off!
After all the usual issues with plumbers taking forever, not even fixing things, and charging the earth (had an emergency last year and ended up paying out over £300 for 2 hours that actually made the problem worse, not better!) So we all moan about tradesmen.... But at last we've found a local angel! He was recommended to…

Virgin Alantic - New TV Advert
This new advert drives me mad, enough to mute the sound when it is on tv. It's not the music or the voice over at the end....it is the singer GASPING for breath after each line. I can honestly say l haven't noticed any other singer doing this in such a noticeable way. Here is the link to a YouTube video if you haven't seen…

Complaints
I have noticed that there are a lot of messages about people being unhappy with the service they have received from big companies. Does anyone ever write and officially complain, and if so what sort of response have you received. I often wounded if it is worth complaining bearing in mind that it takes time. Pls move the…

Tesco - a joke, but I'm not laughing
Just need a vent about Tesco. I have never come across such diabolical staff at the nearest one to me. I decided to do my weekly shop at Tesco, rather than going further to Sainsbury's or Asda. I wish I hadnt been so lazy and gone the extra mile. Firstly, I usually have a set list of shopping, maybe get a few extra's here…
