Game and HMV, not surprised they are struggling
Second post tonight, on a roll. Went into town today to buy a recent release PS3 game. As usual, did the rounds of the usual suspects to see who had the best price. The difference in prices was astonishing. All four stores that I tried are on the same street. Blockbuster had it for £29.99, but they didn't have any sealed.…

Grumble about M & S Oxfam voucher scheme
Several times I have used the above without any problem. You donate M & S clothes to Oxfam and you get a £5 off voucher to use at M & S as long as you spend at least £35. The problem arises if you need to exchange or return something. Even if your amount spent is still in excess of the required £35 (eg. you spend £150 on 5…

Cash for Clothes vent!
Argghh... so frustrated! Sorted out all my old clothes last week and have a huge amount that can be got rid of. 12 recycling bags in fact! My husband suggested using one of those Cash for Clothes companies that pay 60p per kilo... they even come to collect it. I emailed them at the weekend and they arranged a collection…

Signing on TV programmes
Last night I needed to watch a few minutes of the start of a programme I'd missed the beginning of. The only way to do this was to watch as signed version just after midnight. In doing so I noticed again something I'd seen before when I accidentally recorded a signed programme a while back. When they sign a programmes,…

AMAZON Fantastic service
I bought some make-up from Amazon, on receiving it I was dismayed to discover it was completely the wrong shade. I wrote to Amazon asking if there was a chance for me to return it and get another shade. (I really didn't think they would allow this). Within 24 hours I had a reply saying that they would refund the money, and…

Dozy water company
Thames Water have exhibited an amazing inability to read questions. I wanted to find out how much I still owed on my payment plan for 11/12, do I get an answer - No! They seem unable to separate out last year from the new year and continue to lump it all together. :mad:

A vent - it's MUM not mom!
Don't know why but I'm getting really fed up with people using the word 'mom' instead of 'mum', 'mam' or 'ma' etc - this isn't the US so why the americanism? There really are only small regions in the UK where saying 'mum' sounds like 'mom' - so why use it? The number of usernames on here springing up usng it, such as…

Praise for BT
Despite their rather confusing fault reporting system that didn't make it clear whether they had accepted a fault report on-line or whether it needed reporting again by phone (difficult when the phone is not working), BT came up trumps with actually sorting out the problem. In less than 24 hours an engineer turned up,…
