Matalan online discount voucher warning
Hi! I'd like to warn people about shopping online with Matalan. If you use a discount voucher and any items are out of stock you may not get a full refund because of the way their system works. I recently ordered some clothes from their website and used a £10 off when you spend £50 or more voucher code. One of the items,…

Idiots on (and off) the road.

As we just got on the footpath, a driver decides to come on the grass via gap in the hedge and drive on the joint cycle and footpath. Link of the route the car took.…

Park Promotions: Beware.
A few weeks ago I followed a recommendation on this site to purchase packs of seeds from Park Promotions for £7.49. No seeds and no response to my e-mails. Just wondered if anyone else has the same issue?

Grrrr - plumbers 'no show'
What is it about the plumbing profession! :huh: (Sorry to tar you all with the same brush.) I appreciate they are busy, skilled tradespeople, but to advertise "no job too small", agree a day and pm (for a job you say will take 1 hour) then simply not bother to either show up or even ring/text to cancel is infuriating.…

Vent - ups
Hi all, it's not really an ongoing saga, but it's something that really annoyed me. We've had items delivered via UPS to our home address all the time with no issue. I waited in most of the day Tuesday as we had an item due to be delivered, going out at about 4 p.m. Kept checking the tracker whilst I was out, when the…

Amazon Scam! Scam Alert!
I received an email today which looked to be coming from Amazon about an order but being tech savvy enough I saw through it straight away The email properties showed that it came from someone other than Amazon (notify79049@amazon.co.uk <leanneanesko@yahoo.com>) I very much doubt if Amazon would use a yahoo mail as a return…

Debit Card 'phone fraud scam
Vent/warning: The scenario - the 'phone rings, answer and someone says 'this is DC **** ***** of Paddington Police Station, we believe your card's been cloned for £900' You reply, 'oh no, what shall I do, shall I ring my family?' 'Oh no, ring 999' You do, but are suspicious of the 'broken English' used by the person on the…

How do Royal Mail get away with losing stuff?
I'm sure this has been answered before; and I expect that the answer is fairly simple; even if the aggravation & complaints aren't. How can Royal Mail get away with losing your stuff (i.e. negligence) but only have to pay up if you paid extra for a service with 'suitable insurance'? Or, is that actually not true & just…

Is this a scam can anyone explain it?
Hi, I got an email just now. Into my inbox. It makes no sense. And if it's a scam I can't work out how or why the scam works. Please note my website is not a commerce one (it can not take any money at all - it doesn't buy or sell anything). Also I tried to google the legit seeming email address this came from - no hits. So…

Aga Masterchef problems
Has anyone else had trouble with an Aga Masterchef? Ours is about 10 years old now and has always been a bit of a disappointment for baking. It has two fan ovens with very powerful fans whcih you can't switch off. Aga Customer Services say it's probably the thermostat but I've checked the oven temps and they seem to be…

B and Q blackout blinds
I currently have Tesco blackout blinds on all my windows. They were cheap as chips when bought 5 years ago (about £100 for the whole house - 9 windows). They are self couloured front and rear and have been great. They were starting to get a bit tatty, so I decided to change the colour and order new ones - the colour I want…

Public Right of Way illicitly shut?
There is a public Right of Way (ie bridleway and footpath) nearby that I have found and wish to use for leisure walks up. There is quite clearly a sign nearby indicating that it is a bridleway and the most recent Ordnance Survey map shows it there (ie the red dash symbol for a path). I have checked with someone living…

Royal Mail Query
Hi, This is only vaguely a vent, I'm also looking for some advice but couldn't think of anywhere this would fit. I have a parcel from a missed delivery on 18th Oct, which I had to wait 72 (!) hours before collecting. I work full time Mon-Fri and the post office collection is only open 10am-5pm (except for a lunch break)…

Any one had any luck getting their money back from Extak?
I am trying to workout whether they are scammers or incompetent. My son's laptop never arrived, they have promised a refund. However Google searches don't look promising:(. I've suggested making a section 75 claim from his credit card, but do not know how long he should wait. Does anyone else have any experience of them or…

Iconic Britain Art Competition. Anyone?
Hi, I entered the Iconic Britain Art Competition in September. The judging was supposed to have taken place by now and the winners are supposed to be announced tomorrow (30 October). Trouble is, I haven't heard a single thing from anyone about it! Even their website has been promising 'More information shortly' for two…

Praise for Morrison's
Last week, half term, we took our three grandsons out then popped into Morrison's for some shopping and to have our tea in their restaurant. O/H ordered the roast chicken dinner and was left waiting for a while after everyone else's meal was served. Then a staff member came out and said there was no chicken left and placed…

Glasses that change Christmas tree lights
Sounds odd l know, but thought l would share what we found in Homebase today. Glasses, similar to the cardboard 3D glasses, when you look at ANY flashing Christmas tree lights, the lights turn into little Snowmen or Reindeers depending on which ones you are wearing. They were priced at £1.99 great for the kids, well ok…
