Mighty Oak Air Freshener
I bought a might oak air freshener for my car from Halfords on Saturday, it has been in my car for 2 days and today it has dripped down onto my car plastics and melted the paint off them. I have never had an air freshener do this before and did not know that car air freshener is an equivalent to plastic paint stripper?!

Franke insanity
Just in case there is a sane explanation or a company best avoided: Kitchen going in. Few issues but builder smart enough to overcome. Time to fit the under-mounted sink which comes with plumbing kit. I was told by the agent that it would be delivered direct from the manufacturer. It arrived. Builder opens and reads the…

Amazon Prime & HDNL
I know there have been several posts here, on other forums and on Amazon's own forums about the poor delivery by HDNL. It seems HDNL's latest trick is to send Amazon Prime parcels to Omagh in Northern Ireland. I saw this on Amazon's own forum and thought it was a one off until one of my parcels due for delivery today to…

Large Cosmetic Companies TV Ads
I have noticed recently that most of the large cosmetic companies have been baffling us ladies with new 'ceremides', 'bio wotsits', etc etc. But a new marketing ploy to definatly kerfuddle us 'mathmatically challenged' ladies is to tell us how many % of women liked/saw improvement in their skin/hair/eyes etc etc after…

Amazon Marketplace Seller Is A Complete Fruitcake
Here's my story. Bought a book from an Amazon Marketplace seller. Not sure if I am allowed to name her on here so will hang fire for now. Basically, after 10 days had gone past, I became concerned because she still hadn't posted the book, so I emailed her once asking about where it was. No reply. A few days later I emailed…

Mainstream media not reporting occupywallst
I am angry that the main stream media is either not reporting or misreporting the protest in the US #occupywallstreet. You can only watch from live stream and they keep arresting the media team. Why should I pay my TV licence when they do not report the news effectively? Then they will want my support when the government…

faster than light travel in the news
Couldn't find a suitable subforum for this - I'm a bit !!!!ed off with the news at the moment, whats all this about CERN being baffled that they found neutrinos that go faster than light? It was known in 1985 that the neutrino could have a tachyonic nature, which can travel faster than light. ( A. Chodos, A. I. Hauser, and…

Comet - just awful.
If there is one shop that I will NEVER set foot in again (once they've sorted my problem out), it's Comet. Where do I start? Basically it's the most ridiculous minute problem about a faulty TV remote that has spiralled out of control because they have eejits working for them who don't care about the company they work for.…

Avis - Avoid these scammers!
In August I had a woman open the door of her car into mine in a car park and dent my door. Her partner got aggressive and I had to call the police to get the insurance details. The car went into a body shop for repairs handled by a claims handling company called AI claims, who were excellent. As part of the service they…

Praise - Clarks Shoes
I bought a pair of ankle boots a few weeks ago that cost £90 (I used the 20% off voucher I received for doing the Race for Life so didn't pay that much :) ) but a couple days ago I noticed that the zip on one boot would not stay up. I was passing the shop today so thought I'd go in to find out the best thing to do. I…
