Just need to have a little vent about this because I can't believe how expensive they have got!! I went on the bus yesterday and it cost me £3.80 for a return from my house into the town center whereas if I wanted to get an all day ticket it would cost me £3.90.. how on earth do they justify that by using two buses it is…

Garages
Don't you just hate it when you collect a car after its been to the garage to fix a rattle under warranty, when they say 'We have sorted the problem, it was a bolt missing from the exhaust, unfortunately its not covered by the warranty' Then, before you can launch into a proper rant and work up a good head of steam…

Selling door-to-door - community service?
A couple of times in the last few months we have had door-to-door salesmen (usually relatively young people) knocking at the door claiming that they are doing community service. Unfortunately they have all caught me at bad times and I haven't really had a chance to interrogate them, but I was wondering if anyone knew any…

Praise - Three (I know!!!)
I can't quite believe it either but yes, the mobile operator Three has actually earned a little bit of praise off me. This morning, both mobiles (partner's and mine) lost the signal. After a couple more hours, I called Three on landline (thanks to SayNoTo0870 for the freephone number) and was told there was planned…

VENT: Paul Simon Rayleigh
We were so angry at how pushy their sales staff were lastnight that we just walked out and will never go back. Basildon branch havent got half as many staff and they are helpful and do not push you into decissions unlike Rayleigh. The 'sales' staff even asked if money was an issue why we didnt want a dearer set of…

VENT: Goodbye British Gas!
Pointless vent really but British Gas have set our direct debit at a ridiculous amount. Over the next 12 months they estimate that I will use about £900 of energy (gas and electric).....however, for the last couple of months they have been charging us £130 a month! And we are in credit on both gas and electric! When we…

I have a minor vent! I got home after work yesterday and found a missed delivery slip with the words "behind brown bin" had been posted through my letterbox.

Martin, you can do better than this.
It would be nice if you could set a good example: "Under the changes to student finance in England that hit new starters in 2012 (see the full Student Finance 2012 – facts not myths guide) there are four key facts that radically effect the amount people will repay compared to the current system…" Either; "... radically…

WARNING: Never let the RAC arrange repairs to your car !!!
On holidays in Cornwall this weekend and car broke down. Patrol turned up - wheel bearing gone, car going nowhere. Spoke to RAC and they said because I had recovery they could tow me home. Or they could try and get the part and arrange for a local garage to repair. Because this was easier for them, they would be willing to…

Amazon marketplace
Hi all, This is more of a question than a warning, and the answer is probably really obvious. I was shopping for some Beats earphones on Amazon, and while buying them from Amazon direct would cost £100-odd, the "marketplace" prices are amazingly cheap. However, most of these sellers have only recently sprung up and are…
