Virgin Home Insurance.
Just had the renewal from virgin money for my home/contents insurance. Seing they have doubled the price, with no claims, I thought a deeper look was called for. They had seriously increased the cost of rebuilding my bungalow to well over what the current market price is. This would, of course, increase the premium,…

Can tesco send a cheaper subsitute than the item what was picked first
Are tesco allowed to send a cheaper item than what you wanted in the first place. And when you only order 1 thing and they don't have it and send another item but you refuse it but they still charge you delivery is that legal.

Been to the venue before a few times, even last year in my wheelchair.. But last night was different, publicity around it said only 200…

Vent: Comic Sans MS
Grrr, i hate that font with a passion!! Especially when it's used out of context, for example in a 'Please be Quiet' sign in a library, used in conjunction with Microsoft Word 97's 'Word Art'. Even worse when it's used as a 'cute font' in a child's poem posted on the wall in some Little Chef. Brrrr, it makes my skin crawl!

Vent: Burger Van Ketchup
Firstly there are more important issues in my everyday life, however this really really winds me up. Burger Vans who put cheaper red sauce in the Heinz Ketchup bottle, most of the time you can't spot the difference until you take that first bite. I feel cheated :mad:

Is it just me or is Parcel Force a rip off?...
Ive just used parcel force online. I had 2 parcels to send, so entered the amount in size and weight of each. It stated I would have to pay £13, which I thought was pretty good (large parcels but light), so I went on and paid. No issues. It was only until I checked my bank that I realised that it meant that that would be…

Kays Catalogue
Fuming I ordered a book for DH - catalogue price £13 and when it arrived it was priced as £9.99 not happy because it clearly states that customers do not pay postage or interest on items.
