Post Office Online Saver fiasco
I wish I had never opened a Post Office online saver. It's like herding cats getting anything sorted by these people. I opened an account. I was sent 2 different account confirmations in the post which caused confusion when trying to log in. They then whittled it down to one account but I had to wait a few days for my new…

BBC Daytime TV: Obsessed with Property and Antiques
What a load of tosh the BBC put on during the day time. Take for example, the schedule for tomorrow. We have TEN programs that are either based around property or antiques - that's nearly 8 hours in total. I am all for keeping the costs down and showing repeats, low budget stuff and the like during the day when most…

Warning: P&O tickets paid for Jan. Not here and needed this Sunday
P&O offer a lunch for £25 with a tour of the cruise ship. I paid for this in January. Each time I phone to find out where the tickets are I am fobbed off with ‘they are just being put in the post’. This Sunday is when we go. We will be away soon to spend time in Southampton so will not be here to pick up our post. When I…

Warning: Microsoft is anti consumer and encourages piracy
This is quite a long tale of woe, so please accept my apology if you think it's too long, and just skip to the TL;DR bullet points at the bottom. First a little background information: I am currently relatively impoverished, as I am – and have been for many, many months now – struggling hard to keep my one man business…

When at my local Tesco (Martlesham) to collect a Tesco direct order, I came across a pile of customer orders (including customer names and phone numbers, postcodes, what they had ordered etc) sitting on the collection desk unattended.

The table was reserved and in stock almost immediately but the chairs weren't reserved until 7th March, this is my own fault as I didn't notice the 11 weeks delivery when ordering but when I asked if they could improve delivery (if I'd of just been ordering the…

She later phones and took another £600 to remove debts with halifax. She claimed they broke the law by not getting us to sign for…

Natwest: warning: card machine now required for payments & transfers!!
To my dismay Natwest now require you to have a card machine in your home to do payments or transfers. This is really a pain - they never used to require this! Even though the card machine is free from them, what do I want with another piece of equipment to clutter up my flat for something that I rarely do? Tbh I have been…
