Vent - Charity Shops - Sorting by Colour not Size
It makes my blood boil as it takes ages now to find anything I want. I know it makes the shop more boutique like but I really can't be bothered to go through the whole shop just to find my size. Oxfam and Barnados are the main perpetrators. Some of the hospice shops do it but at least then sort by size. What else annoys…

Tesco Customer Services - Praise
Tesco Customer services have really improved lately. Whenever I send them an email they always respond with a phone call within a couple of days. The last time I had a problem with something they sorted it out promptly and also sent me a gift card. So praise where it is due and I hope it continues like this, it does…

Neighbours bins and biological waste
Not sure if this is the right place for this but I could do with some advice. For the second time this month, I've come home from work to my rented property to find tissue all over the front garden (along with some other things like cardboard packets from food etc.). This isn't just regular tissue, it's used tissue that…

Vent - Barking dogs!!
Okay, I live opposite a park. We are so luckily to have this park on our doorstep but over the last few months I have been woken up every weekday morning (usually around 7-7.30am) by a woman who owns around 8 dogs. It is brilliant that she is looking after these dogs and walking them every day but they bark constantly the…

DPD - the best?
We get a lot of stuff delivered to the house. Just had a delivery from DPD. Praise! Brilliant. A couple of weeks ago we had a parcel delivered by another firm. A beaten up old estate car turned up and dripped oil on our driveway. Bad. DPD sent an email on delivery day giving a 1 hour delivery time estimate. And a link to…

Warning: top-battery.co.uk
Hi I needed a new Toshiba laptop battery and did not want the Chinese options available on Ebay. I found top-battery . co . uk which has a professional looking website with the Royal Mail logo on it. I usually check companies out but am rather unwell at the moment so made an immediate purchase. It came to £24 so not super…

Tesco Christmas Delivery Slots
I just wanted to vent about Tesco. I have known for a few weeks that the delivery savers customers can get their Christmas delivery slots today from the early hours. I loaded up a basket ready to check out my delivery. I woke up at 4am this morning and thought I would check if the slots were free yet, they didn't come up…

Share scam - phone number 02036959429
Just a warning! Was called today by a person (British accent) who started waffling on about my Diageo shares - said the annual report was delayed and then tried to lead into talk about dividends. I led him on for a while, but I think he realised that I wasn't swallowing his spiel when I told him that altough I was enjoying…

Latest phone scam.
I missed the first 'private caller', but answered the second (am expecting a call from the library and they always use 'private caller' status). It was from 'David' with a very broad Asian accent and claiming to be from the Ministry of Justice. I was occupied so just told him he was a liar and put down the phone. Now I'm…

Wickes prices
I bought a few items from a Wickes store this morning and later found one of the items advertised on the website at over 10% cheaper - not an online special or delivery only, and if I clicked on 'check stock' it listed local stores with stock and the item at the lower price. I contacted customer services and they agreed…

Carpetright £29 hidden extra
About this time last year we went into Carpetright with our daughter to buy carpets for her lounge and two sets of stairs. As it was a large outlay we (my husband and I) said we would pay it and she could pay us back. When our daughter told the salesman we were paying he said why don't you do it on the 12 month interest…

Premier Inn website
It's a new (I've no idea when it changed) website and it's a pain to make a booking. I've had a black screen, then an error message telling me the website has expired. I've been stuck in hamster wheel going round and round. It's taken so many attempts to get to the end of the process.:mad: Is anyone else having problems…
