CashyourGold.co.uk - have I been duped?
Wondered if anyone else has dealt with cashyourgold.co.uk? I sent them my gold bracelet (which I had already had valued on the high street). The special delivery envelope was very prompt to arrive and they were very prompt getting back to me with a valuation. A few e-mails were exchanged as I queries their valuation and…

First online grocery shop, poor experience.
As many of my friends and neighbours do online grocery shopping I thought I'd give it a go as I'm currently convalescing after surgery and hubby is having to do everything. I used Asda, I had several problems ranging from logging in problems to price discrepancies. I had to phone CS 3 times during the shop, they were very…

Anyone come across these rules at the P.O?
I run a small business and send/receive all my work via RM Special Delivery.A counter assistant at my local P.O. - always a bit more of a jobsworth than the others at the branch - has just (politely) given me a dressing down for (a) using a recycled box and (b) attaching an address label to it! She said she would accept my…

Rossendales Collect
I had a silent call from 01706-833772 at 8.15 this morning, and my phone records show that they also phoned yesterday when I was out. On checking this number online it turns out they are a bailiff firm, Rossendales Collect, and are notorious for harrassment tactics on behalf of debt collectors. However I have no debts,…

Currys Buy Now Pay Later
Just a word of warning to anyone planning on buying something from Currys on their Buy Now Pay Later terms. At the end of the paperwork process you suddenly find out that there is a £25 charge that is not mentioned at any time prior to signing on the dotted line. This is not a rant or complaint so the normal armchair…

Change from the self service supermarket till
Annoys me that these machines are full of 1p, 5p and 20p coins but lack 2p 10p and 50p coins. I put in an amount that should result in 50p back or 60p and you get 2 x 20p and 2 x 5p coins or 3 20p coins instead of a 50p or 50p and 10p coin. Expect change with 4p i.e. 2 x 2p coins and get 4 x 1p coins. What is it with these…

Strange phone calls?
Hope this is the correct board. We keep receiving telephone calls to our landline, when we pick up we get the dial tone as if we are ringing someone? Hope that makes sense. We of course immediately hang up. This happens most days sometimes twice a day. Does anyone have any idea what it could be and how we stop it? We are…

New Kleenex Original slim tissue boxes
Kleenex have recently shrunk the size of their Original tissue boxes to 33% of the normal size. The boxes contain the same amount of tissues. Have others found that the first few tissues just rip when pulling them out - due to the fact the tissues are highly compressed inside the box? Also, when you pull a tissue out, it…

Not another RP review? Sorry
I'm sure that your all aware by now but I seriously need to rant about RP today. Rated People is fundamentally flawed. It doesn't work for both Tradesmen and Homeowners. I beleive thatRated People is actually driving down standards of workmanship in most cases, not up. Its an ultra competitive market place where people win…

iPod Vent.
I had my old "iPod Classic" for around five years before it packed up in August (due to a earphone jack issue). I took it in to Apple who declared that there was nothing that they could do apart from to offer me a replacement for £80. I took the replacement because I do love my iPod and my Birthday was approaching so I…
