The cinema has a loop to put the sound directly onto the hearing aid but when my friend used it the sound track was about 20secs behind the picture and sound from the screen! Friend says they are all like it! He has complained but nothing…

Stupid Sayings
There’s enough BS in this world without people coming up with ludicrous sayings that fill one with nausea every time you hear them. Here’s a selection ... can anyone add to the list? “I’m not as young as I used to be” ... Let’s face it, who is?!? “There’s no smoke without fire” ... Whoever came up with this one has…

The deal: A 1 hour photoshoot after which "Models will walk away with 12 6”x4” prints along with digital copies of the snaps and a DVD slide show to flaunt at soirees." all for £26, wow I thought!

NatWest Bank complaints department - Appalling service
I've been a customer of NatWest Bank for over 30 years now and had reason to make a formal complaint around the middle of March. I've just telephoned their customer service centre to ask what the current status is, as all I've received so far is a letter of acknowledgement which was sent over 3 weeks ago now. I've been…

John Lewis - Standards are slipping
I have always thought of buying goods from John Lewis, normally I would consider them first for electrical items because of their long warranties and good prices. However in the last few months I have had a couple of items which have failed in warranty - yes they have been fixed but it's been a painful process of calling…

Orange Roaming Charges
So, got back from a short weekend break and got hit by £40 (plusVAT) of data charges from Orange. Quite a shock as I had used it to check google maps once. Apparently it's due to Apps running in the background, fair enough. I don't assume Orange should have told me these things when I got my iPhone, although that would…

Patronising call centre staff (rant)
Oh, how I detest those obnoxious individuals who hide behind their telephone anonymity and think they can be as patronising and officious as they like to customers....I wish call centres would employ more mature people in both age and attitude. Personally, I do not appreciate being lectured to by someone who sounds like…

Charities and Energy Salespeople in Supermarkets
It seems to me that supermarkets are allowing more and more of these people into their stores. I do give to charity but I have my favourites like most people. I cant afford to give to everyone who rattles a collecting tin under my nose as I am passing on my way out... yet I always manage to feel guilty for not giving to…
