Toshibas worthless warranty
I bought a Toshiba Excite Pure 10" tablet for the kids as a Christmas gift in December 2013. In March 2014 the screen developed an enormous crack as I was using it to play Football legends. No accident, no dropping it on the floor or hitting it with a brick - as I swiped my finger across the screen I felt it crack and then…

Arrogant motorcyclists
The other day I pulled out of a junction, then 2 seconds later a motorcyclist (that I had indeed seen) overtakes then pulls in front of me, sticking his fingers up several times. Very rude. The distance from the junction to where I saw him means that if he was doing the speed limit, I would have at least 10 seconds to…

Docrafts bad customer service
A couple of weeks ago I opened up a pack of 'Anita's' Die Cut Message Tags to use on some card making. When I took the 2nd sheet out of the pack I saw that it had been very badly die cut, so the whole sheet was completely unusable. I'd bought this pack about 18 months ago, prior to a move & then a long hospital stay, from…

Phone call from someone "Representing Vodafone"
As background, my daughter's phone contract with Vodafone is about to expire, so she is due to get a new phone soon. This may be why my wife fell for this. My wife got a phone call from number 02030020435 from someone claiming to represent Vodafone. They said she could get a free phone, but would need bank details etc. to…

Tesco Direct - Vent / Warning
After booking the holiday of a lifetime in the Florida Keys, we decided to buy a Panasonic underwater camera, and found a suitable model on Tesco Direct. We made use of the Tesco "double up" points and used £41 doubled up to £82, and paid by debit card the remainder, £57. The camera duly arrived, and all seemed well ...…

City and Singo bingo very suspicious activity in free rooms
This is my first thread so hope I've put it in the right place. I signed up for many bingo sites last year and did very well, nothing massive but little wins here and there that built up. I haven't played in quite a while and thought I'd have another go. My favourites at the time were City and Sing bingo, so I had a go on…

Telemarketing calls increasing.
I've been getting an increasing amount of telemarketing calls over the last few months - getting to be 3-4 a day now. I've been registered on the Telephone Preference Scheme (TPS) for years, and it used to work - it cut the calls down to a very small amount. On three occasions, I've managed to drag the name of the callers…

Well done political spin doctors
For once again taking something Nigel Farage has said out of context and using it to his parties detriment. Maybe we can stop paying a high price to spin doctors/PR gurus to diss the other party and concentrate on promoting your own policies and views... Maybe we can focus on pushing this country or ward rather these…

Bonusprint photobook vouchers
I notice that the £19 Bonusprint photobook voucher appears to be a rolling offer... however, when I tried to place an order, my photographs appeared to upload without any problem but in the last "final product" stage, the process stopped at 7%. I then got an error message advising me of a EclSocketError... and according to…

Pub - Noise Pollution
Hi all, bit of a rant/advice needed. Approximately 18 months ago I moved into a house just down the road from a pub. Since then, the majority of weekends it has music blaring out - usually from approx 6pm to 11.30 or so. I've complained to my local council about 30-40 times and all they say is they've logged it and they'll…

BT Rant.
Hi team... In a nutshell.... Moved into my home a while ago and thought i'd treat myself to broadband as i have previously used a dongle in my old flat. Went through BT and had to wait almost six weeks to get connected. On connection day, engineer (I use that term loosely) turned up to stick a socket on the wall. He said…

Vent: Rag and Bone Men.
I can appreciate in this difficult economic climate that seeing an opportunity and taking it is something to be proud of and impressed with. I just wish they wouldn't take that opportunity quite so early on a Sunday morning, every Sunday nor quite so... loudly. It's a relatively new thing in these parts (although based on…

Amazon Excellent Service!!!
Roberts Sports Radio 7 months old that sometimes does not connect. Spoke to Amazon and as they have had complaints about the seller, they are issuing a full refund and are sending me a free return label. Last year I had a faulty Printer for 2 months and it was immediately replaced. Well done Amazon!

Vita cleanse scam
Hey guys just a quick one, fallen for the vita cleans scam. Its on my debit card. I think all they have is the card number is this correct? I have talked to the bank who have cancelled the card for now and stopped any future payments from coming out. The stage we are at now is the next time they try to take anything they…

Why is gym membership so expensive?
Most of the local places want to take about £40 per month :eek:. I know they have a lot of big expenses like staff and premises... But then so do many business' like restaurants and many still manage to churn out two meals for a tenner. Like coffee houses but you dot pay a fiver for a latte. I detest the thought of paying…

Then in week 5 given delivery date-but they did not turn up. Telephoned Andy the owner and said I wanted to cancel, he accepted this…
