Could TalkTalk have sold my details?!
I moved recently in a new property and had a phone line and Internet contract with TalkTalk. Believe it or not, once the line got live, in a minute I received a phone call from those agents saying I had an accident which was not my fault! What scares me more is he was asking about me with my surname and also telling me the…

We have a problem, and so could millions of other people. I am a single father of three disabled sons, and have been for eighteen years. My youngest who has severe learning difficulties amongst other things has found it impossible to find work, so I decided last year to try and turn a hobby into a business. My son and I…

Lidl staff - praise!
Hiya all. We were in a branch of Lidl yesterday and our bill came to just under £40. The guy at the till asked us if we had the new Lidl smarter shopper card. We told him we did, then he told us that if we spent £40 we'd get £8 off. A pack of chewing gum took us over, so the discount was applied. Staff in shops can get a…

Goodbye to the UK as we know it
Probably get deleted but what the hell. Just read we're spending £1 billion pound on economic migrants, sorry 'refugees', to bring them to the UK. Meanwhile we have homeless, hundreds of thousands of people living in poverty, nhs falling apart and already short of money, schools suffering a lack of places and funds and…

New build parking
I'm sure this has been bought up before many times but I've recently received a letter from the maintenance company that looks after our estate advising me that I should not be parking outside somebody else's house. Now I accept its not always great to look out of your window and see somebody else's car, but surely that is…

Praising Google
Just had a 'perfect' customer experience after phoning Google to report a problem with my ChromeCast (little device for getting internet content onto your TV). They knew what they were talking about, they were friendly, they didn't dispute what I was saying; and they've given me a complete replacement of a defective…

My Survey
Yet again, I have attempted a long survey for this company, only for it to come up with 'error' , in German,near the end. I accept that they switch off when a survey's target entry number is met, but it always seems to happen with the longer, higher paying surveys, on which I've spent over 30 minutes. Their latest reply is…

Lidl point of sale plastic cr*p
Saddened to see today that Lidl have introduced "free" landfill plastic with every £10 spent ( or you can purchase for 29 p each ). Really, do they need to give out little plastic characters in order to capture the minor market? Luckily I didn't have the kids with me so was able to say "no thanks" without getting it in the…
