Nice try Three, but no coconut.
A few days ago I rang Three about our two 10GB mobile broadband 30 day contracts. During the call the adviser said they could do 2*15GB for and extra £1.98 per month. Then he tried to slip in that it was a 24 month contract. I told him that was no good, the longest I wanted was a 30 day contract which he said he could do.…

Why Can't You Take Items Back to the Supplier
I've had problems with two recent purchases. A Canon MG 5500 printer from Currys had a fault within six weeks. Currys wouldn't take it back and told me to contact Canon. I did so and Canon gave me a reference number and said to take it back to Currys. They then did accept it - called in after 15 days and was told that it…

Good Bank Story!
Yes I know hard to believe in this day and age.

Store Policy

A warning on Euro Car Parts.com

Dentists
My wife's latest dentist invoice is £96, roughly split between an examination and scaling. I'm not sure whether I find this outrageously expensive (hence the rant) or whether this is simply what a dentist costs these days. And apparently the cheeky guy said the picture he took of her teeth was free like it was a great…

Yesterday, Easter Monday I phoned plusnet as my deal comes to an end on 9/4/15 and asked what they could do to keep me as I had seen better offers than they were offering themselves.

Do not buy from gogroopie
This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. I purchased an item and didn't receive the code, I emailed them to chase it up and told them as I would be on holiday soon this was an urgent matter. Whilst I was in India I received the code but couldn't use it! When I returned to the UK I contacted Gogroopie and asked for…

Warning. Cheeky Wilko's.
Some people will probably accuse me of not looking properly, but here goes........ I went to Wilko's today and saw a lovely vase with a nice bunch of flowers in it. It was PERFECT for our newly decorated bedroom. Underneath the vase and flowers (on the shelf) it said £5, which I thought was good. So I took it to the…

Recently (in the past 6/7 months or so) I've been bombarded with phone calls at all hours of the day - PPI, calls about "your work in industry" (erm, unless you mean retail and care then nope!), ambulance…

01792 720129 telemarketeers
Yet another number to block. 01792 720129 called around mid-day on Good Friday, isn't any day sacred anymore? I don't answer the telephone because anyone who knows me use my mobile number, which the telescammers don't know. I'm also TPS registered but that doesn't seem to mean anything nowadays.
