Thank you TransPennine Express!
Recently bought a return journey for around £19. Usually this trip costs me ~£60. Thank you for your brilliant student offer! I hope these are the types of fares we see in future. These are the types of fares which get people out of cars and onto public transport. Well done :T

Fun with Kwik-Fit
Just sent this off to them... Dear KwikFit CS team, I literally just got a phone call, presumably from your Gosport branch asking me if 'I'd like to book an MOT for my Subaru Impreza?' & when I told him 'I certainly wouldn't be booking with KwikFit' he said OK & tried to leave the call, I asked him why he didn't even ask…

Praise Aer Lingus
:T:T:T Well done to the boarding and flight staff for trying hard to seat my wife and child away from the drunks :beer: on your late flight last night, not entirely successfully but you then were very firm :naughty: with them to behave and seemed to have largely had the required effect. :silenced: I am of the belief…

Would you pay extra for a better delivery service?
I was discussing this with someone yesterday and she was contrasting the poor service you get with some couriers with the excellent service you get from others. Suppose you had the option of paying extra and getting a specified morning or afternoon delivery slot (not a choice, just being told) and a phone call between two…

WARNING - Roku LT - Outputs in NTSC, useless on older TVs
Hi, I've just raced home to try my new Roku LT out. However its in black and white. After further research, it turns out the UK units output NTSC not PAL so using the composite cable doesn't work! I have tried my friends TV, and yes it does work fine via HDMI. I have tried several factory resets etc but to no joy. I admit…

Next, Evening Deliveries and DHL
I'm sure that couriers and supermarket delivery drivers think people are thick. A few weeks ago I ordered stuff from Next and asked for evening delivery to ensure I would be in. In addition I know my neighbour opposite me would be in that evening so they would have no problems delivering the items. The delivery was suppose…

Birmingham NIA - Praise
My husband who is wheelchair bound went to see War of the Worlds at the NIA on Friday night along with my daughter. They could not have been more helpful, from suggesting a close drop off, entering through the VIP suite to avoid queues and steps, getting their tickets from the Box Office for them and seating them.…

I know she is involved in a dispute with a neighbour and she has had a writ issued against her but not served? Im not sure if those are the right answers.

Matalan
Anyone notice how there is hardly enough staff on the till at Matalan during busy periods? The queues, especially in the store I used to go to are longer than a wet weekend! I dont shop there anymore, because it would be like waiting for world peace before I get served!

Vent shopto.net
I saw they were the cheapest for a game so I went and tried to order a game from them. I put in my Barclays Premier Debit (that is registered with Verified by Visa) and they declined it saying I needed to use a 3-d secured card (I was!!) I tried by Barclaycard Onepulse (Again registered with Verified by Visa) Declined - I…

Asda home deliveries
A couple of weeks ago, I shopped with Asda online and she shopping slot was between 8-10pm. I shop online with both Tesco and Asda- Tesco for the main big shop and the points and sometimes with Asda for a big shop and because they have some items that Tesco dont. I was looking out the window like a dog missing its owners…

Beware the RAC
:mad: years ago I paid for membership of the RAC for my DD as she was traveling a lot at night and i didn't want her stranded in the event of car breakdown. She accepted that she would take over payments from year 2. At Year 2 the RAC debited my account (Barclaycard) without my agreement. I rang and explained that my…

Lloyds TSB debit card call centre
Have a query regarding my Lloyds debit card. Rang their call centre......it's in the Philippines and I could barely understand a word the operative said. Had to ask her to repeat everything, she couldn't grasp my query relating to the 'chargeback' process so forced to abandon the call. Local bank can't help, just referring…

Mankind 'Special Offer'
Following the advert on MSE I recently ordered 2 items from Mankind, to qualify for their free Moulton Brown Xmas Pack. I received an acknowledgement showing all items as 'In Stcock. Usually despatched within 24 hours'. Two weeks later I sent an e-mail asking where my goods were. I was told there were problems in the…

Praise for Barratts Shoes & Vent for River Island
Barratts have newly reopened their branch in my town and had a very positive shopping experience there today. Shopping with 2 under 2's isn't fun for me, them or shop assistants but the saleswoman in Barratts made it bearable. Very attentive, friendly and didn't mind my indecision! 20% off made it even better. On the other…

365Electrical - That's The Way To Do It
I ordered an appliance from 365Electrical late Wedneday night. I was prompted to enter my postcode to select a delivery date. On doing so I could choose any Friday - no other days, just Friday. This suggests to me that their deliveries are regionalised. Very efficient :money:. I chose today and was informed that I could…

Castle Cover just lost my custom!
I have my house insurance with Castle Cover and have had nothing but phone calls from them for weeks as it is due for renewal. Don't these Companies realise the more they hassle a customer the less chance of them renewing. I'm certainly not using them again now out of principle as I told them to stop phoning after about…

No online George @ Asda goods if you live in Harrow!!
I tried to order goods from George @ Asda online about a month ago and on checking out it said there was an error and that some items couldn't be delivered to my postcode and proceeded to list every single item in my basket! As I had two orders in August I thought it was odd, so I rang Asda and was told it was a computer…

Forces War Records.co.uk
BEWARE! Check bank statements if you think you have made a "one off" payment to access their website. My hubby paid a one off payment of £5 (so he thought) in October. Have just noticed they have taken 2 unauthorised payments of £8.95 in November and December. Went back onto their website to find a contact number and saw…
