Safestyle windows and doors
Had a new porch fitted end of july by SafeStyle after 6 months plus of them chasing me with constant phone calls, well at least two a week for about a month anyway. This was not a big job as we only have a small porch, after the installation they had to rebuild it because it was out of plumb and the door would swing open…

Vent- things that are just not fit for purpose/badly designed
We bought a pack of tie back hooks recently & Mr nwc389 attempted to put them up on Sunday , an hour later things seemed to be no further forward & the air was turning blue :mad: They were designed with one screw but part of the plate had a tiny lip so they could never be tightened right into the wall and consequently just…

Why do MSE let one idiot get a thread closed?
A thread that serves a good many people on here has been closed due to the antics of more than likely just one person. Why does MSE play into the hands of such posters whose aim is to do just that and disrupt things for everyone? Why not just ban them from keep registering in goodness knows how many different names???????

I went into the Kirkcaldy shop on the 12th October to get an appointment to be tested and have a consultation about lens replacement surgery.

DFS Sofa Stores
While the sofa I bought nearly two years ago is nice, the plumpiness of the cushions doesn't seem to last :/ However the biggest grips is their monopoly and the way they run the business. 1) No ordering online. Despite the man in the store (who seemed drunk!) saying you can order online, I corrected him by saying I could…

Rant - Freecycle users
I strongly support the principle of Freecycle. Personally my prime motivation to use it is to avoid second-hand goods going to landfill when someone could use them. I only ever offer things on there. Each time I carefully describe the item and put photos on, and every time there is a deluge of responses, frequently from…
