Drive Right in Cambridge
Just wondered if anyone has had any experience with this company? They conned my elderly aunt out of £500 for a so called cleaned and resealed driveway which has left her with weeds growing back within a couple of months. Despite numerous calls to them and initial promises to get back to us, they are now ignoring all phone…

ASDA 'incident' - would appreciate any thoughts or insight...
Hi there, I think this is the 1st time I've ever posted, so I'll try to be as concise as possible! OK, here's the scoop... I recently bought one of ASDA's own soups, in the clear plastic container, (it was the Piri Piri Chicken soup). As I was eating it, I felt something sharp as I began to swallow and what I almost…

Dfs scam
Heres another complaint of DFS and please be aware if they do this to you or not. My father had recently gone to DFS to buy a sofa, which was a lot of money and he paid cash. They said they do not have the £1 change (bit stupid as most of their items are ending with £99. So my father said not to worry, its only a pound and…

Karcher / Karcher Outlet - diabolical srrvice
Bought a refurbished K3-540 with 6 months guarantee in July last year. On the 2nd use ( after 9 months) the vario-lance is faulty. Whilst I was prepared to take a chance on the pump base unit I do not expect a lance with only 1 moving part to fail after only 1 use. Karcher Outlet and Karcher themselves when contacted have…

I am always trying to think of ways to beat those dreaded doorstep callers and junk mail deliverers. I think I now have the solution... I have needed new gates for some time and will be ordering iron gates with a combination lock. Only the postman, friends and neighbours will be given the combination, which can be changed…

Green Deal - £300 surveyor fee
Wife today had a long call with someone called Green Deal who went on for ages about cavity wall, loft insulation, new boiler etc. Then when it came down to it they booked us in for a survey and slipped in that it cost £300.... Sounds like those people who have made a living charging for getting grants on your behalf off…

Tired of the the supermarkets' little games with pricing!
I use Sainsburys, Asda and Tesco, and all three of them are guilty of it; making individually priced items expensive, but cheaper in bulk. Yesterday, I went to Sainsburys, to buy some fruit corners, and they were 70 pence EACH (they are normally 50 to 55 pence each,) and even the six-packs were almost FOUR POUNDS. (They…

When I first saw it I tried to order it, not available for home delivery so tried my nearest store. Its not available there or the 10 nearest stores. So try…

Living Social
Although I have used Living Social several times successfully, they have now changed their small print and I have been caught out. There is an expiry date on their vouchers. The vouchers are designed to be folded into four and on the front is displayed the expiry date. Inside it gives a date by which the deal, in this case…

BOOTS pharmacy rant!
This has happened 3 or 4 times now. I have taken a prescription in to Boots pharmacy, and asked how long it will be... they say 5 to 10 minutes, so I say I will be back in 15. I get back, and they say that it isn't ready, and the pharmacist 'needs to check it' but the pharmacist has popped off for a break, or is in the…

Nook/ Barnes and Noble woeful support
I'm one of those who has been chasing a Nook e-reader on the £29 deal. It's a great offer and after a month of trying to get hold of one I succeeded. I picked it up yesterday and tried to connect and set it up. But I couldn't. A quick google showed that lots of other people were in the same position. A livechat with Barnes…

Vandals
So I woke up this morning to find that someone (presumably on the way home from the pub last night) had decided to swing off my hanging basket outside the front door, rip the bracket off the wall, and play football with the basket and plants up and down the street. :( My house is on the market and I'm trying my hardest to…
