Prams on buses
Just got off a bus which was about half full.

Xbox360 - Amazon.co.uk vs Comet.
Hello all, Sorry if this is the wrong forum. Has anyone bought a Xbox360 from Amazon .co.uk, developed faults and had to return it? Was Amazon easy to deal with for returns/repair? I was thinking Comet would be easy, since if there was a fault, you could walk into the store and return - however, I have read lots of horror…

On Monday I had three men standing only inches from my front door when I opened it going on about religion and the same thing today. Can anyone…

e-commerce platform sellers is a minefield! Who's best?
I have been ripped off 3 times now by 3 different e-commerce platform sellers. Can anyone help? They say (free support) but then they keep you in a queue for ages on an 0871 or 0845 number which ends up costing more than they charge you monthly. There's Search engine optimization, email accounts, product amounts,…
