eFlorist - not so good
Cutting a long story short - I ordered a fancy bunch of tulips from eFlorist for delivery the other week. I went for the bunch that came with a funky vase (it said vase included on the product description). At the time of buying they had two products. One without a vase for £18 and one with a vase for £30. I thought the…

Is there ever going to be a time when 'spam' calls are stopped?!!! WARNING; LONG RANT
I have had to change my landline phone number over and over again, because of these spam calls: soliciting for PPI and various other compensation claims, and people trying to sell energy, people doing surveys, people begging from charities; the list is endless. I have now changed it six times in 5 years, and changed phone…

Why do IT professionals always blame eachother
I've had a couple of problems recently where various bits of IT aren't quite compatible with each other. Why is it though, when you try to get someone to fix the issue, IT support staff will always blame the other system. For example, at work we have difficulties emailing another organisation because of a compatibility…

No Till Receipts at the Coop!!!
I have shopped at the coop for years - it is obviously very convenient. I have however never received an itemised receipt. The cynical side of me believes that the Coop would not wish to offer us such a receipt. It is surely far better for them to make a hefty profit when mistakes go unchallenged because they are…

Vent: Re wetherpoons in the midlands
The story is: my daughter and I went to Wetherspoons today for lunch, and I ordered a crumble with some custard for me, and a tomato and cheese panini for her. We got 2 drinks too; a coke and a cappucino. Total bill: around twelve pounds... The food came out about 10 to 12 minutes later, but the panini was a ham and cheese…

pushy salesmen from st. Helen's glass
I've just had a salesman round from st. Helen's glass. (It was basically to get a very pushy woman to stop phoning me as I had recently got solar panels from an affiliated company, always a mistake, I admit.) I told the guy, Antony, when he arrived, that I agreed to the quote to stop harrasment and that I was thinking of…

Royal Mail Fee2Pay
Not sure where to post this, so put it here. My partner was sent a package by her mother, from Canada. Last week a slip came through the door saying that a customs charge was due, for £21.14. She originally planned to pick it up from the local office, but after not getting around to it for several days she decided to pay…

Atlas Editions
This company snares customers with an offer that appears to be good value and has featured in these pagaes before. They are still up to their old tricks and have entered 2013 more agressive than ever. Both me and my 90 year old father have bought promotional models from them... Then the trouble starts. We have both lived…

Invited Everest to send a salesman round the other day to quote me for a small conservatory extension. Managed to get rid of him in one hour flat, which I thought was a significant achievement ;) . However: at the outset I informed him that (a) I was on a tight budget and (b) that regardless of any effort on his part I…
