Fat Face - Major Praise
Just want to add this thread as I'm really blown away with the service I got. Some of you might've seen my threads about getting bleach on my brand new gillet from Fat Face (what an idiot) and asking people for advice on how to fix it. Looked like it was going to be a pain and probably not possible, so I emailed Fat Face…
Fake Bose Headphones from DiscountVouchers.co.uk
My first foray into buying something promoted as a deal from DiscountVouchers.co.uk has gone awry! We bought some Bose Noise-Cancelling Headphones via a Daily Deal and they did seem too cheap at the time! However, because I was buying them via a bigger website (DiscountVouchers.co.uk) and not from some Hong Kong based…
Fire Safety Update
A bit of advice needed. A local shop backs onto a public car park with a small open area at the back which belongs to the shop.

Npower
July £109/month August £164/month October £195/month. That's £2,340 a year for gas and electric for a standard 3 bed semi. That's some increase - 78% in 3 months. Unable to interrogate them yet as I don't have my account number and they won't talk to me. Updates to follow.
John Lewis Stinking Customer Service
So disappointed by John Lewis.com. My blood started to boil when I realised the customer service number is an 0845 costing me 15p connection and 5 per minute. Not funny when you end up having to make so many calls to them. The icing on the cake, if you ask them to call you back they don't bother. My top tip for you if you…
