Charities which repeatedly ring but leave no message
I give a monthly donation to the NSPCC. In my opinion it is my decision whether or not to increase that payment and being pestered irritates me no end. They keep ringing on my landline and mobile and i just ignore the calls. It should be a requirement that they leave a message to say who they are and to ask if you wish to…

SC5 HTML5 Finnish Scammer
SC5 is a rip off. Do not use SC5 (based in Finland - SC5.io) for your web development needs. I hired SC5 to develop my HTML5 website. A programmer named Martti Malmi contacted me and provided a list of services they could provide me at a reasonable cost. I had PSD files and was looking for someone to slice them into HTML5…

Harveys - and not for the usual reasons
I'd read a lot of posts on here regarding Harveys rubbish service, but given that they were the only place I could find selling a sofa in the style I wanted (high back and a seat not too close to the ground). I didn't want to wait for ages to be able to sit down, and bought one. Service was actually pretty great (in…

Praise for currys/pc world
I don't think great retail is something many of us experience, but currys have really surprised me. I got a fantastic deal on a Panasonic smart viera 50 odd inch 3d tv last year when they were re locating to another unit in our town. The sales assistant threw in first months 'insurance' free and explained I could cancel it…

Poundcafe!!! :d
I can't post a direct link as my account it too new, but the long and short of it is that Poundcafe is a cafe where, oddly enough, you can get a fry up for £1. You'll find the article with all the info in the DailyMail online, I found this on hotdeals uk. It goes pretty much like this: Forget Poundland... now there's…

Vent - My road doesn't exist!
Argh. So, I ordered quite a few things over the past few weeks online. 90% arrived fine, but after waiting in all day Thursday and Friday for an item, I eventually asked the seller to provide tracking info. The tracking info requested that I call the depot. The depot said they needed to check my address, and upon…

In praise of the NHS
Just lately there has been nothing but negativity regarding the NHS. Yesterday I found myself in need of their emergency help and cannot praise any one of them highly enough. From the first responder, to the ambulance crew, to the lovely nurse on A&E, to the junior doctor, to the girls in x-ray, every one of them was…

Tesco Direct - Rant!
Argh! Frustrated with Tesco Direct. Has anyone else had this issue, before? Wanted to order a fairly bulky electrical item as a gift for someone that lives 200 miles away. I decided that rather than trying to schedule a delivery, I would order it on Tesco Direct so that it could be collected in-store. All the way through…

Why are some people so sarcastic and nasty on here?
:mad: These boards are mainly used for normal people asking for advice, and nice people offering advice to the best of their ability. Sometimes you might not agree with the advice given, or the advice given might be wrong, but surely there are nice ways to point this out? Some people just do a quote of what you said, and…

Smashing service in Currys.
I bought a new phone online and wanted an SD card for extra memory. I looked online and saw Currys had one on offer for £3.35. I wasn't sure if it was the right one but the young chap, instore assured me it was and when asked, fiddled with said phone and put it in for me. He was really helpful all for the grand sale of £3.

Lloyds TSB Mortgages impossible to contact
I went into a branch and got a mortgage promise. Now I've found a house I can't get hold of them on the phone to take them up on it. Their phone system is a nightmare of button pressing, but when I finally get through to the centralised mortgage department I'm on hold forever and the message tells me to try again in a few…
