Bottled water in restaurants - what's the most you have paid?
Our weekend trip to London concluded last night with a meal in our hotel pub. On the back of the thread (tips in restaurants - moral question) I was annoyed to be caught out by the "would you like some water question" as we sat down for our food last night. It didn't occur to me to mention we would be happy with tap water…

Sainsburys £12 off £60 online shopping coupons
Why do Sainsburys need to issue these with 70% of transactions? If you have no Nectar card or left it at home, you always get one. I have phoned Sainsburys careline several times and they are not interested that it's a waste of paper nor annoying. If Sainsburys were supposed to be the green supermarket, then put a link on…

In praise of Coopers of Stortford
My elderly mother bought http://www.coopersofstortford.co.uk/page/find/?find=laundry%20trolley Unfortunately, a design fault means that the legs have a tendency to snap together causing bruised fingers. Contacted Coopers who offered a refund. However, there was a problem, once assembled the wheels cannot be removed to get…

There was also another FIVE A4 sheets printed on both sides of Terms & Conditions !!!!!!!!!! What a stupid ridiculous waste of paper..... Why could they not…

Asda complaint email - bad service!
I am writing because I would like to escalate my complaint made to your customer services telephone team regarding the disgusting service I received from one of your delivery drivers.

Surely this is taking the (text removed by MSE Forum Team) a bit...
I was stuck behind every slow driver this morning. Someone doing 30 in a 40 zone, someone doing 30 in a 50 zone, and finally someone doing 20 in a 30 zone. The last one I wasn't so miffed about at first because there was a fair bit of traffic. The traffic eventually moved on, leaving a big gap in front of her car but she…

Amazon instant video confusing adverts?
I recently signed up to Amazon prime instant video because I was fed up with Netflix. I was impressed by the relatively large and varied choice of movies and tv shows advertised by Amazon on the website BUT You are not told that many of the most popular and recent shows and films are not included in the Prime package , you…

Same photos every year - exam results
Congrats and commiserations I guess to all those with results but do we have to have exactly the same photos every year. You know the ones with a bunch of students jumping in the air clutching paper. :j:j:j

The company's email giving the code called it a 'high street saving' and said I could spend it at any branch of Argos. When I went instore they refused it because it was an 'online only' code. As using it that way would…

Fed up with Morrisons
Is it only our local Morrisons or do others treat customers the same ? We stopped shopping in the store last month - because we were fed up with the attitude of the staff To start with - my wife has pointed out many out of date items on the shelves which you would expect to get a "thank you" for - but NO - they just say…

Specsavers bizzare free eye test rules.
I don't know if this applies to all Specsaver store or just the one I went to. So the story goes, I'm a contact lens wearer and any other contact lens wearer will know that after a certain amount of time it is legally impossible to buy contact lenses on the high street without an updated eye test. Now I work in an industry…

Shocked by garage -- in a good way...
My normal garage closes for two weeks in August so I tried a tiny one in a nearby village. Had new pads and brake fluid and went to pick the car up. I was handed the key but not asked to pay. I asked if they would like some money but the owner told me not to worry, they would send me the bill. Anyway, the very reasonable…

Amazon marketplace- nightmare seller
I bought a Samsung 32 inch free view television from a seller on Amazon marketplace. When it arrived, it had a 2 pin continental plug on. When I contacted them via Amazon message service, they said it was because they were manufactured in Europe but they would send me a permanent adapter. I wasn't very happy and wrote back…

Next Credit Account
More of a warning. My wife often buys from Next, we both hate the fact that online you have to buy on a credit account. We thought we got around this by ringing them up instead. They assured us this way you could pay for it upfront. Despite telling us the item was paid for up front, we were surprised that after checking…

Virgin active - bullying tactics
Hi All, Need some advice. I was a member of VA for over a year on a £60 MONTHLY rolling contract. I used to travel 40 miles commute, pop into the VA gym then off to work nearby. In February this year I got another job (part-time - locally where I live) so I went part-time where I worked on my commute (two days a week). I…
