Sainsbury's : You Have Been Rumbled !!!
I used to shop regularly at Sainsbury's but in recent times have found their prices to be not competitive. And I think I've discovered the reason why.....:search: Apart from items "reduced for quick sale", all their prices have been rounded to the nearest 5p. So if a product costs, say, 59p at Morrisons it will cost 60p or…

Vent: ao.com - Appliances Online - not so reliable (imho)
Ordered a Fridge Freezer with Appliances Online (ao.com) on 22 July for delivery on 21 August, within a week was urged to buy Extended Warranty, and was not notified until 6 August it was actually out of stock and the order was cancelled.

Asda's overly loud tannoy
I'm after a email address to complain to Asda. I'm at the end of my patience with the Asda store which backs onto my house. Even with double glazing we can hear the tannoy announcements in our bathroom and spare room throughout the day. The most concerning are the 30 minutes of continual announcements at 1130 to 12 every…

Here is a rundown -: - Put sofa on order, paid deposit but was placed on hold as we were waiting to exchange on new property. This was on 25th May. - Called them on 28th May to release the order…

Halfords can't build bikes properly
Anyone buying a bike from Halfords, please check that they've built it correctly before you ride it. We've just bought a new one for our son. First time out, he couldn't change the gears properly because they'd not been set right, but I told him just to leave them as they would be reset when we took it back for its 6 week…

Top cashback fails to track on the larger purchases
I am getting tired of Top Cashback's failure to track when I actually make purchases of a decent amount of money. It used to be pretty reliable but recently I went through TC and purchased a 2 night stay with late Rooms. I have the record of the site visit at TC but for some reason it didn't track. I spent £170 in the hope…

I would like to praise an event that I have just been to to the rafters. it was TOUGH MUDDER in Yorkshire. Although it rained and rained, the atmosphere was fantastic. There were babies, kids, dogs, grannies and grandpas, young and old having a lovely stress free day. You can see some events on YouTube. I have never…

Groupon and Boohoo problem
I bought a voucher from Groupon cost £7.50 and gave me £15 credit to spend at Boohoo. I should have realized it was "too good to be true" when the terms and conditions said I had to pay £3.99 delivery (Boohoo were running a free delivery day, but I could not use that code with my Groupon, so my overall saving was only a…

Rant: John Lewis click & collect
First and last time I use click & collect... Ordered some stuff from the JL website - normally I'd just get it delivered but decided to try C&C since I'd be out and about. My order arrives and I go and pick it up from the Canary Wharf store, all is well. Two of the items were sold together at a special bundle price. One of…

How difficult can it be to update an email address
This is a rant at no particular company, but many of them as a collective. I've finally got frustrated with Yahoo Mail after using them for many years as my primary account. Everything with them just seemed to be a hassle. There IMAP service seems to have a life of its own, things constantly seem to be going wrong and it…

Today, we happened to pop into our local Tesco superstore for some petrol 'cos it's only a half mile from…

what's the deal with chuggers? have they been pushed off the high streets?
...and onto our doorsteps? I'm getting chuggers knocking on our door on a weekly basis now. It's annoying and consdiering putting a no canvassing sign up. But all the no casnvasing signs seem to come across unpolite to actual guests.

Odd marks Lock&Lock containers
My recent glass food storage containers from Lock&Lock all have brown marks/scratches on the rim. I've informed the company in the UK. It looks like the scratches are a result of a manufacturing issue but the brown colour is baffling us all. Is there a glass expert whom I can contact in the UK? The product is made in China…

Did I tell you about Malcesine at Lake Garda ?
Thought not ? Went there many years ago. Anyway there was a techy fault on the Charter plane on the way back, which resulted in the flight being cancelled and having to fly to Stansted the next working day instead with a free coach trip back to my local airport. Anyway no complaints as I got the cost of my holiday refunded…
