Joules - anyone else had problems getting refund payments out of them?
My wife bought some items recently from the Joules official eBay site and returned them to a Joules shop, in accordance with the terms of the invoice. No refund followed, and after more than a fortnight she contacted them to find out why. First, they said it had been refunded via PayPal. Then, on a second call after we'd…

why do no fried chicken shop manage to make chicken like kfc?
lets face it, all these friend chicken shops are wannabe kfc. They want to imitate kfc. I do occasionaly grab some friend chicken as it's a really cheap protein source and actually isn't that unhealthy as long as you ditch the fries and sugary drink - which is where the blank carbs come from. The fried chicken that a lot…

Gumtree - completely useless!
I am at my wits end with Gumtree! In an attempt to sell my car, I uploaded a free advert on Gumtree's website last week.

Be careful with DFS redying your 3-piece....They will probably use a temporary dye
Careful all and beware. I have had problem for several years now, where one of my chairs keep losing colour in one of the cushions.

Glass table patio sets not being recalled
My friend bought a Miami patio set from Asda last year. With the sunny and hot weather, the glass table top smashed into small pieces. Fortunately, her family were out. Then today, she saw a post on Mums Advice on Facebook and tables bought in Asda, Argos and Aldi have smashed into bits in warm weather. Obviously not fit…

Amazon £20 delivery again
My account is showing £20 minimum spend needed for free delivery again. Is this across the board or am I just unlucky with them picking me out as thinking I'll add to my basket.
