Sky Sports
Just a moan about the poor quality picture on Sky Sports SD yesterday. I was watching on a brand new Panasonic HD TV. I am convinced it is a ploy to get more money from us by upgrading to their hd pack.

Amazon
i must give full marks to Amazon. In November 2013 I purchased a LG Smart TV. In April 2014 the TV broke down and Amazon replaced it. In May 2015 the TV again broke and I contacted Amazon who referred me to LG. LG arranged for the TV to be collected by a repair company. They had it for a week and told me it was BER( beyond…

Buying phones on EBay
just a warning to anyone thinking of buying a new phone on EBay/Gumtree. I thought I was safe by buying a brand new sealed IPhone. The phone was advertised as "unwanted upgrade". I paid by credit card via PayPal and the phone arrived sealed in a box. Phone worked for about a week, then no service. I had an idea something…

B&Q poor attitude
I bought a clip on lamp just over a year ago from B&Q for a whole £7.95. It replaced an old cheap one that lasted 20 years. After about 7 months the clip started to crack (it was only clipped to a thin piece of wood, so not stressed), then the other day it snapped completely. Clearly not fit for purpose. I asked for a…

Ebuyer are the worst for adding extra P&P charges
Ebuyer are always emailing me deals with free royal mail postage, but when I put in our address the charges go on. Now living on the isle of Arran, you do get used to increased charges with couriers etc, but royal mail don't charge any extra. So when a deal if offered with free Royal mail delivery it smarts a bit when…

Dumbing Down of National Trust
There is a new trend afoot, to reduce the amount of artefacts on display at National Trust properties. Dame Helen Ghosh, the Trust's Director-General thinks the public are over burdened by having too much to see! Yes, that's right, pay more to see less. Personally I find this patronising, if I visit a property with my…

BHS Online Furniture - Lack of Returns Policy
Hi there, wondering if anyone can help.... I ordered a table and chairs online with BHS, standard stock, nothing custom built etc. I phoned BHS customer services requesting that a return be arranged and was subsequently informed the product was non-returnable due to it being made to measure and a bespoke product! I contest…

Cinapalace.com
Feel so stupid! Was desperately searching for a couple of episodes of an american drama that I'd missed and couldn't get on catch up tv. I appear to have stumbled across this website and signed up for a free 5 day free trial (the stupid bit is that I had to enter my card details to show which country I was in) among many…

Goggles4u- no offer of 241 on cheap glasses
Looked at the Goggles 4u site as they have an offer at the bottom of each page for a 2nd pair free if you buy glasses costing £15.95 and over. The code is 2NDFREE. But when I tried to add the code it wouldn't take it. I've been trying for a week now and still no luck. So I called them and they said it's only valid on…

Galaxy Stores told me I needed to get a life
Bought a chimenea advertised on Galaxy Stores website. After I'd paid I got an email from Galaxy Stores Customer Service to say they did not have it in stock (even though it said it was stock on the Galaxy Stores website) and would I like to choose an alternative. I said no, I'd like a refund. I got another email almost…

Argos - Asking for e-mail address in store
I was in Argos yesterday buying a bookshelf. I went to the counter and payed for it, the cashier then said "What's your e-mail address?". I asked why I needed to give it and she said it was for the duplicate receipt. Am I the only one who thinks this is dodgy? It's probably just so they can spam me with offers.

Dementia and calls to 118500
I am at my wit's end here. My 92 year old brother-in-law has dementia and lives at home with carers coming in several times per day. He has taken to calling BT 118500 and has run up bills into the £100's which he is finding difficult to pay. because of his dementia he is denying making these calls, but he is definitely…

Gone to waste!
Twice a year my local council leave a flyer on one of my many waste bins/bags giving details of the dates of collection. On the same flyer they say what can and cannot be put into the waste food container. No problem there. Amongst the listings this time are --"vegetables and fruit including peel, cores or if it's past its…

BBC Sport App ...... delay
Has anyone else noticed that the BBC sport app is at least 8 minutes behind - with football results ? I am just following Bristol Rovers vs Grimsby today and listening to it on the radio - Grimsby scored and I waited 8 minutes before BBC sports app gave me this fact - it appears pretty pointless

Faulty rug advice
I got a rug delivered, which has some thread coming out on one side. I contacted the company and they said they would send a courier out yesterday to collect the faulty one and deliver a new one. Waited in all day and nothing. My guess is they did not book the courier at all. they are closed until Monday morning, so I…

Postman and Royal Mail Signed For service
I ordered a custom made top around 6 weeks ago which was posted out to me last week (I got a dispatch email earlier in the week to say it was coming) and as I was off last week I figured I'd be in to get it, the only time I went out was on Thursday morning to go out for a coffee with the wife as it was her day off too. As…
