It was great fun, I registered for some free dove samples. Some of the freebies required you to register with the F.S. website, which I did. I had my eye on some Maybelline…

Harry Ramsdens Poor Service
Took the family to Harry Ramsdens for lunch yesterday lunchtime. It was pretty busy and the staff seemed a bit rushed but given the price they charge it is only fair you completely get what you pay for which was not what i got when my order arrived even though it was correct, the quality was not good. The chips were either…

Sky TV - who can I complain to?
I really don't want to go into my complaint again (as I am sick of hearing myself tell the people at Sky, to no effect :mad:). Who can I write to to complain about appalling customer service?

Friday Ad - BEWARE
Previously, I have been stung by paying £5 in phone charges for a hamster cage that cost me £10. And it happened again to me this month, when I purchased an electronic keyboard.

Sockshop online
My daughter cannot wear socks with seams in the toe. When my last supplier became too expensive I googled and came up with goods offered by the Sockshop. At about a tenth of the cost I was paying previously (shan't give you the name of that company,) they offered a good selection and fast delivery. So I made a trial order;…

Hilarys Blinds - overpriced
Had a pre-booked visit from a Hilarys sales guy today. He quoted £120 for a 3.5Ft sq. roller-blind. I told we were wasting each others time as a local firm had given me a quote over the phone for under half that. He didn't seam fazed, and indicated that it was a common response.

Superb service from Dyson
We bought a DC25 Animal over 2 years ago and haven't had a problem until today. I phoned them and they answered the call straight away so no holding on for 10 minutes until someone answers the call. The lady I spoke to was very cheery and I could understand every word she says which is a rare thing for a call centre. The…
