Is the extra 50p because they English Tomatoes?
Firstly apologies for the poor grammar in the title! Was obviously so annoyed I missed the "are" in Is the extra 50p because they "are" English Tomatoes? Just wanted to have a bit of a moan. I know prices have been going up in supermarkets by ridiculous amounts but I was particularly annoyed today in Tescos. I usually buy…

Vent: Magnet kitchen units
We've just returned from Magnet Trade at Maidstone, where we were finally given new kitchen unit fronts to replace a previous Magnet set that had delaminated and crumbled. I'm pleased we've finally got to this point, but also furious at the way we've been treated, and I would not willingly buy anything from this company…

Vent: rubbish haircut and service with groupon
I'm livid and felt like a vent! I bought a groupon voucher for £16 for the new trapeeze salon in reading. It claimed to be worth £62 and included 6 mins on the sunbed and a glass of bubbly. I turned down both these extras (naturally tanned and it was 10.30am!). Overall the entire experience took 34 minutes - a minor…

Glamour Magazine subscription going up
Not sure if this is the right place, as I was not sure which thread it fit into best. Today with my Glamour magazine I got a note to say that as I pay by direct debit my subscription fee will change from £9.99 a year to £18.00 a year. I set up my subscription in 2002! So I can understand why it is going up, but a few…

They would get the prescription 2 days after i ordered it and I just went in and picked it up. However, in December I moved and the nearest chemist to me is a local…

Vent: thieves
I am having the poorest day I have had in quite a while. In the grand scheme of things, not very poor at all and there are plenty of people worse off than me but I'm going to take the Vent forum at face value. To start with I had an unpleasant day at work. It was my last day before I take some annual leave and for once I…

Enforcing Judgements (A lengthy rant!)
Is there a particular section here that deals with getting money back that one is owed? I'm about at the end of my tether with trying to recover a County Court debt, are there any debt collectors who actually have teeth? It seems that the best way to be a Moneysavingexpert is to rack up a load of debts, not pay the bills,…

Gripe- TV licensing & digital changeover
Our digital changeover will be complete on Aug 17th and then I won't be able to pick up any channels. I don't want to buy a new set- don't watch that much any way.

Paypal creaming off donations to East Africa.
So I had a spare £5 in my Paypal account and decided to donate it to the East Africa Crisis via the DEC website. Imagine how disgusted I was when it popped up with a note "Paypal charge us 55p to process this transaction, would you like to pay this fee for us?" OWTTE. How disgusting, a company the size of Paypal living off…

I couldn't believe it when I went out and saw this wavy line of a scratch down the drivers side of the car, I then walked round the car and the passenger side…

NHS Inefficiency
Babies get a check up between 8 and 12 months, which you get sent a letter in the post about, with an appointment date/time. Mine arrived, and sod's law it was for the day I return to work. It said on the form that if you couldn't make it, phone to book a new appointment. So I phoned up, told them I was going back to work…

Mothercare moving goal posts? (price match)

They were £29.99 each, on 3 for 2 and I had a 15% off…

Outrageous marketing behaviour
Today I was handed a free pack of "Mattessons Twisted Tails" (Hog Roast Flavour) on the street by a company representative. This is so deeply offensive, they know I'm a vegetarian! Surely I must be able to claim some sort of compensation for having this thrust upon me against my will. There's no excuse for this. There…
