Rant about asda
On the 05/09/2014 I went to Asda to buy alcohol and was refused service as I didn't look over 25 I am 33. I then returned to Asda later that day with my father to try and purchase alcohol. My father was then refused the sale as they knew it was for me. My father then asked to speak to the manager and the checkout…

Restaurants playing music too loud
Is one of my irritations. When I go out for a meal with friends, relatives or colleagues, I like chatting with them. In establishments where the music is too loud, it's annoying as cannot hear each other and the waiters On a few occasions, about three of us have approached the staff requesting the music to be lowered in…

Bring Back The GREENBACK Party
Hello one and all. For anyone who doesn't understand central banking, it is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for the U.K to pay back its current debt of 1.1 TRILLION pounds. 4 men in history have tried to sidestep central banking by abolishing USURY/INTEREST, some with more success than others. These men are Abraham Lincoln who…

Car Selling Vent!
No reason for this post other than to let off steam! When did selling a car get to be so much of a pain? It used to be: advertise car, people would come and see it, test drive it and possibly (hopefully) make an offer. Now it seems to be: advertise car, delete thousands of emails from people who are currently on board…

http://www.ukbabyliss.co.uk/
DO NOT USE THIS SITE. My boyfriend got me what he thought was a 'babyliss pro perfect curl' for my birthday for what he thought was a great deal. It came from china, which was his first indication. Wrapped in bubblewrap with the box folded up inside the wrap. Second clue And it doesn't work. It heats and beeps and whatever…

Advertising sign
Someone has plonked an advertising board right outside of our house, during the morning - for conservatories ("we are currently working in this area") - nobody in our road appears to be having any work done on their houses I assume that permission must be obtained from the local authority to use advertising plackards ?…

Utilities warehouse
just some praise for them really. We use them for gas and electric and there customer service is brilliant! Always answer the phone straight away and the staff are genuinely a pleasure to chat to! Makes me wonder why other companies dont do it if UW find it so easy.

Vent - national lottery
New national lottery website launched with a big fanfare yesterday evening. At no point during development did they notice that the new website doesn't let you add funds to play the lottery. Now 24 hours later it's still broken meaning I had to go to the shop to buy a ticket! As yet they have no resolution. Absolutely…

Not for the first time no doubt but arrrgghhh, bl***y cold calling
Sorry, I need to rant to make myself feel better. I am SICK SICK SICK of silent calls to my landline, and I am even more SICK of mostly recorded calls to my mobile about PPI reclaiming, kitchen scrappage schemes, home insulation schemes, various gas and other utility companies wanting me to swap to them. I don't answer…

be carerful opening the DKNY perfume sample
be careful opening the heart shaped women's DKNY perfume sample.. the packaging is very poor and as I flipped the tab to open it all the perfume shot out at high speed into my left eye and I now have a very scratched cornea and have just got back from the eye hospital, I think it had an air lock in it and it made the…

Time to change, don't go for it.
There are many occasions i come across, companies ask us to put debit/credit card details including the security code write it on the form, so they can collect money later for the service. e.g Law firms, mortgage providers and many more. This is not a good idea, this should be illegal to ask details. If not them it can be…

Asda batteries
Has anyone else had a leaking battery from Asda and then find Asda deny liability for the damage it has caused - in my case a broken heat alarm? Asda say that as the device specifies that it should use a Duracell battery they will not accept liability. This does not sound to me like a legitimate reason for not accepting…

Beware when purchasing a New 12 month TV License!
Beware if you are applying for a new 12 month tv license as it will not be valid for 12 months unless you buy at the beginning of a month. Frustratingly I bought mine at the end of the month recently and it's only valid for 1 day and 11 months. It seems very unfair that no mention is made of this at the time of purchase.…

I have a firm of Solicitors claiming that since it is only a Provisional License that it does not count as Valid ID. Having spoken to the DVLA the gentleman there says strictly its not strictly…

Communicating with mobile phone companies
Have just spent nearly 2 hours topping up mobiles with Vodaphone and O2. Vodaphone website stops working after entering phone number, credit card details and post code (other parts of the site have the same problem) and the automated mobile method restarts after I've keyed all the details in. Eventually I used a landline…

Reliant Direct
A pleasant surprise with this company, I had some concern ordering from them because they looked a bit too good to be true but it turned out great. They sell Electricals at discounted prices (think same range as Currys). They delivered the product they promised,when they said they would, over £100 cheaper than anyone else.…
