MyWaitrose free hot drink? Don't forget ID...
Don't forget to take your photographic ID to Waitrose now if you'd like to claim your free hot drink! I was ID'd when claiming my complimentary Cappuccino this morning. I was told to prove that I was over 18 and eligible for a MyWaitrose card. I questioned why the bloke in front of me (on his own) was able to claim two hot…

TalkTalk just crazy good value
I've been with talktalk for 18 months now, and on their mobile for 6. :j I am just astounded by how cheap they are, but still offer a high quality service. I guess they are likely to be taken over by perhaps Vodafone or Virgin and everything could change. For now though, they are well worth recommending if my experience is…

Npower Npower Npower
Apologies for the triplicate, but it does seem that Npower pick up on threads about them - albeit just to make the right noises and still do nothing. Here is a summary - taken from my comments here over the last few weeks: 2/5/14: Just a quick rant. Left Npower in November. Until yesterday they still hadn't finalised my…

Sainsbury's Online Groceries - Today's Computer Failure
Bad news for many today, including me, with seriously delayed deliveries and missed orders! Very difficult to understand computer failure of this type in 2014 - Sainsbury's need a proper Business Continuity plan. Perhaps, they should get out of the online grocery business - let Ocado provide the technology! Hate to think…

Rattanstore.co.uk warning
Hi, We pre-ordered some rattan furniture from this site in January on the basis that it would be available and delivered to us in May. I chased this week as we had not heard anything. Then I received an e-mail and letter advising that they had experienced "supply chain issues" so weren't able to deliver the furniture after…

Theatre ticket booking web sites
Just been trying to book some theatre tickets in London. Found the show on the date I wanted in the seating area, but I couldn't buy the seats as there were only 3 left in the row and I only wanted 2. It kept saying it wouldn't sell as it would have left a seat on it's own. Does this mean they will never be sold unless a…

Cold call from "United Kingdom"
Just had a cold caller call me and when I asked him the company name he said "United Kingdom". I said that's not a company name, but he insisted it was. I said you're not allowed that name, but he said he'd told me and that's what it was. He kept trying to ask me questions, but I just asked him for the company name. He got…

Beware Copycat vehicle Tax Discs website
I was dismayed to learn today, that my partner had paid £84 for a tax disc for a motorcycle. It should only be £44. Turned out he accidentally went to an ADVERT that was at the top of the Google search, www.taxdisc-direct.uk.com. It has absolutely nothing to do with the DVLA where the service is FREE. The site is quite…

Fake "Nationwide" caller ** ACTUALLY GENUINE **

B&Q - Staff member complaint
Where is the best place to aim a complaint at b&q? Some scrote (definitely a staff member) bumped the back of my van and then scuffed his car along it earlier as he was leaving at closing time while some other (very helpful actually) staff members were helping me load some stuff up. Acciddents happen and the damage to my…

BT Engineers think they are a law unto themselves - won't discuss a fault
I thought I was going to be making a vent about Talktalk today but actually it is some arrogant insular little working man from BT who sets himself above communicating properly with customers. On Monday I had ordered a new router from Talktalk because I wanted to experiment with a friend's NAS based VPN (for those who…
