New houses are very poorly built!
Hi everyone, I know I'm very lucky to be living in a new build house as a council tenant so please don't think I don't appreciate it but there are a few things that really annoy me, and I'm sure I'm not alone in this. I'm very grateful to be able to live here but I think I actually prefer the older houses because they have…

Asda food - help!
Hi, I was eating some dessert, which I bought from Asda, when suddenly I was chewing something hard and plasticky. And when I examined it, I saw that it was a large torn fingernail tip! YACK! I can't believe I chewed on that thing! Where's the best place to report this to, and what's the best way to go about it?

I feel slightly ripped off by Vistaprint
Hi, I today ordered some (250) business cards online at Vistaprint. I filled in a blank business card and when I was ok with the layout ect, I proceeded to the online basket. The price for 250 cards was 12.73 However, on the way to the basket, various chargeable options come up, all of which I declined, including a free…

Hungry Fish
Whoever thought up the idea of putting tanks of tiny fish in shopping centres and charging people a quid a minute for the privelege of dunking their feet in, is a genius. i can't think of an easier way to get rich.:rotfl:

Vax S5 Steam Cleaner
I've been looking at buying a steam cleaner for the past few weeks and after reading so many positive reviews about this particular product I thought I'd give it a go. I wish I could say it's fantastic but after reading so many good reviews I feel so let down by the actual product itself. It's quick to boil ready for use…

Halfords customer service is rubbish
I am currently trying to buy a maxi cosi car seat, and was pleased to see yesterday that the Halfords website had some on promotion at 50% off. However, some idiot had typed the prices in wrong, and instead of reducing them to £62.50 from £125, they had increased them to £162.50(!). So I called them to see if there was…

Returns policies
Hi there, Just wanted to have a discussion about clothing stores' returns policies. I know the law- don't have to refund/ exchange etc unless faulty and online is a different matter too- but I wondered if anyone had noticed the change in returns policies recently? It used to be pretty standard- 28 days for exchange/ refund…

Bit miffed with Virgin
We have VM for TV bband and phone and over the last few days we've been getting 0845 calls and due to the wonders of call display have ignored them. Dh (in his wisdom) decided to answer a call yesterday and it was from Virgin, obviously an overseas call centre, and the chap asked was he Mr X X and DH said yes. He then…

Stores making mistakes (including HMV fail!)
I don't know if it is just me being more vigilant but I managed to pick up 4 mistakes in 4 different stores over 2 days. I went to only a few more shops than these 4 but here goes... Sainsburys - tons of reduced food food for some reason, I picked up an item that had gone out of date the day before, handed it to someone…

Praise - Samsung
Posting this for 2 reasons - first to say thanks to Samsung and their agents for brilliant service, and second to make people aware that a fault which would otherwise cost about £160 to fix is covered for free even if your tv is several years old. Our 40" Samsung LE tv started taking longer and longer to switch on, then…

Squatters
ok, so I watched a programme on tv the other day about this and I am really confused as to what is right. According to the programme, if your house is empty at all, like for example going to work during the day and someone gets into it byy any means possible and states it is their house, are you seriously not allowed to…

Go Outdoors - 20% off tents - misleading ad
Hi all, Just be aware, Go Outdoors are pushing a "20% discount off all tents", Saturday 28th May. Sounds a great deal, but what they're actually offering is "20% off any tent we actually have in stock, in the store you visit on that day. Anything in their catalogue which would be worth buying, amazingly, they won't have in…

Breastfeeding
Just a swift (ish) rant. My sister had her baby a couple of months ago and shes been really struggling with breastfeeding - shes shattered, baby is hungry (feeding every hour!) and grumpy and shes been struggling on for nearly 8 weeks with it as her health visitor is some manner of Nazi who seems to have given my sister…

Is this method of paying for something safe?
Hi Apologies if this is in the wrong section but I thought this website would be the best to ask people and I aren't sure where it belongs.. I have seen something I would like to buy from an American brand 'E.vil'. The item is not available in the UK (some UK websites stock the brand but not this particular item) so I…
