Why don't Landlords clean once tenants have left?
I viewed a Live In Landlord setup recently and got suspicious because he only showed me the bedrooms and nothing else. I asked if I could see the kitchen and he said OK. I opened a cupboard and it was full of rotting and moulding food!!! he was like 'yea that'l be sorted when someone moves in'. To make it worse he said…

Sainsburys and a flight of stairs?
This amused and irritated me a bit today. Sainsburys has always delivered to my second floor flat, which is handy, because I have mobility problems and cannot carry my shopping up them by myself. Today however, the delivery driver brought the food up to the first floor, and told me that sainsburys doesn't deliver beyond…

Exchange rant/warning
Having never come across anything like this before, hopefully in the right forum, I am posting what has happened to me as a warning that even a purchase which is satisfactory and straightforward could cause an unforeseen problem in the future.

High Praise not complaint - Microwave

The item cost me £109, but I will receive a £50 Ocado voucher as well, so the microwave has cost me £59. What a bargain!! This is the second item I have ordered from…

Postcode Lottery Scratch (Instants)
Thought I'd post to see if anyone else had used the Postcode Lottery Scratch cards service? I noticed a free £5 play voucher with no deposit required and signed up for a bit of fun. I played multiple games in demo mode to see which I wanted to use my free £5 on and then took the plunge with real money. I ended up "winning"…

M&S poor customer service
I complained about a poor quality ready meal which was supposed to be a luxury item. I have the packaging and receipt which I can email them. They still insist I go to the store I bought this from with the receipt and packaging for a refund. The same happened with Asda a couple of weeks ago. I bought a DVD that was priced…

Boots No 7 Powder Blusher.. GGGRRRRRR!!!
Recently bought myself a blusher from No7 to replace the one I'd just finished. The packaging had changed, and while I was clearing out my makeup bag I had the opportunity to compare the old and new product. The old one was 5 grammes and the new one is only 3 grammes. For the same price. I think it's appalling to almost…

Not a "Very" Pleasant Experience with Very
I have for a few months been looking at the Samsung Galaxy Camera to purchase for my wife's Birthday in January. I had looked at various companies and found Very's offer of 10% discount on a new account plus their great Buy it now Pay Later offer to much to miss out on. I was using the offer mainly for the discount and…

Warning: Tesco Direct/Yodel
Naively I assumed Tesco Direct orders were sent directly by Tesco for collection in their stores.... No.... They use Yodel! If I had known I would have ordered elsewhere. So far: 2 iPads despatched by Tesco, 0 iPads delivered to store by Yodel, 1 birthday ruined. Waiting to see what happens next in this farce. Apparently…

Now for this return, I am well aware that I have to bear the postage…

Yodel!
Back in December I had the misfortune of receiving a package delivered by yodel. The damaged package was left outside our property, leant against the cat flap, in full view of the road and no card was put through the door. This despite someone being in all day. On inspecting our house we discovered that our poor cats had…

I have just received a very weird email!
It had only the word 'How' in the subject, and then 'Are you ok? Why the delays in the deal?' in the body of the message. It came from an email address I don't know and never seen before, and wasn't signed etc. Now, I've had my fair share of spam emails (though not really on my personal email address), but nothing like…

ATS Euromaster praise
Exhaust was sounding very noisy on the way home Friday night. Called into ATS and asked them to check it over to make sure it was safe to drive home. They put it up on the ramps with no hesitation and after a few minutes, called me through and showed me what was wrong- the back box had corroded off the pipe. Gave me a…
