Amazon...long wait!
So I ordered a laptop from Amazon and it said estimated delivery date: 5 weeks away! I took this with a pinch of salt as I've ordered with them before and it was then ultimately much quicker than estimated (inside a week). So a week later the expected email saying its been dispatched has not arrived. I think if the…

Praise for Netflix
Got an email this morning to say that the subscription is going up to £6.99 (£1 increase), boo... They went onto to state that as an existing customer, I wouldn't be affected by the price increase for two years. They would charge new customers £6.99 whilst keeping existing customers at the £5.99 rate... Finally, a company…

Tesco clubcard points
Just tried to buy something from Tesco Direct. Entered my clubcard number. Won't accept it. Now, OH bought something from them a little while ago, and the points went on to my clubcard. He obviously used his own e-mail address. It was not flagged up that this was not his card, or that once this card was registered to his…

Vent: Kobo customer service
Time for a vent, one of many I could get off my chest, but this is more likely to affect people here! If anyone has a Kobo, I hope to the Gods you never have a problem with it. This isn't even mine - I booked it for a customer, and they have been awful since day one. Back in February, a customer brought in a faulty Kobo…

Free insulation scam? Worried
Not sure where to put this!I've had a man and lady round today regarding insulation and cavity walls. The first thing he said was were not burglars and then started going on about the area and how it's free insulation as we don't have gas here. He came back when my bf was in, we have a weimaraner dog and we put her in the…

Alpharooms mess up yet again
I booked a hotel at the beginning of April with Alpharooms, due to fly in less than a week. Alpharooms emailed me today saying that "due to a stopsales error", they could not fulfil my booking which they confirmed six weeks ago. They offered me another hotel but this is unsuitable as I am disabled and it is up a hill - the…

Highway code 170
How come a significant proportion of the drivers don't understand or know Highway Code 170, which states, "Watch out for pedestrians crossing a road into which you are turning. If they have started to cross they have priority, so give way." If the vehicle is really close, obviously I don't step onto the road but when there…

Vodafone Tracking where you go.
For your information, I have recently discovered earlier today, that within a month or two, vodafone will be using something called 'footfall' to track all vodafone users in certain locations. It mentioned shopping centers round the uk were going to use this information to help with designing their buildings and shopping…

Carrington Windows
I had exactly the same experience as many people I have spoken to or have read about online... A very rude man (Simon) who got angry when I wouldn't agree to him seeing 'the man of the house' who would, in his opinion, be making the decision. A very strange way of marketing - the result was me telling everyone I know not…

John Lewis Price Match Guarantee
Seriously been let down by John Lewis today. They advertised price match guarantee for a TV we purchased. A few days later we found it cheaper at another major store. We contacted John Lewis to see if they can return the small difference. We were promised that someone will be in touch in 48 hours but never did. However…

Castle's Wakefield Road Barnsley. Beware.
Last year we had a new door and UPVC fascias and dry verge fitted by Castles. During the installation they constantly left a mess all over the place and had to be asked repeatedly to tidy up. When they eventually left I had a massive clean up to do as they had left piles of dirt etc all over including the front of the…

Praise - Dunelm at Home
Having moved into our house last year we finally got sick of the temporary arrangement of thin curtains and a blind in our bedroom. We decided to get blackout curtains fitted and went to Dunelm, the plan was to get some curtains made up and then fit them ourselves or get someone else to do it. We have a tricky bay window…

Offerbank- is it a dodgy site?
http://offerbank.com/uk/samsung-galaxy-s5-4g-16gb-black.html?_store_switcher_=off&gclid=CNv-wY-_mr4CFQeWtAodlCIAsw Is this a scam? I'm rather weary of how cheap it is! How can it avoid UK VAT?

One Show - Dodgy Chargers (electrical)
The expert on the couch at the end of the item said that you can't just mix and match as the device could draw too much current. My electrical theory is a bit vague these days but I thought Current (Drawn) = Voltage / Resistance (Load) As the Voltage is constant (just make sure you use the same voltage charger) and…

Center Parcs / Aqua Sana Spa Days
Just a heads up, Center Parcs have changed their policy regarding their spa days. Before you had full access to the rest of Center Parcs and the Sub Tropical Swimming Pools. They have rather sneakily added in to their terms and conditions that guests on a spa day are no longer allowed access to the rest of Center Parcs.…

PRAISE - ghdsrepairs
Hi All, Just wanted to praise the company who fixed my hair straighteners www.ghdsrepairs.co.uk Really didn't want to pay out £100 after my GHD's broke and find that cheaper straighteners just don't compare to GHD's! I came across this site and was a bit wary as the only reviews I could find were actually on their own…

Vent about Meat !
Why do meat prep companies who do most of the supermarket meats insist on taking all the fat out of meat especially joints ? One of my fav joints is Point End of Brisket , needs a long slow cook and the fat is essential to the flavour :) looked at some Brisket in M`s , T`s , S`s and can I find a joint with the required fat…
