Tesco Under Counter Freezer
Hi Hope some kind soul can help me. I have been trying to buy a under counter freezer from Tesco.com for the past 2 hours. Found one I liked put it in the basket. There is no where as far as I can see where you can ask and pay to have the old freezer removed and recycled. Phoned up customer services - no help at all, he…

marketing & scam calls. When will it end?
Hi When will these direct marketing and scam calls end. I've signed up to Telephone preference service but it makes not difference. My phone down stairs has become basically unanswerable as it full of nuisance/scam calls on more or less a daily basis. Why is it that we can't be left in peace in our homes. I'm fed up with…

Love2Shop voucher problem - TK Maxx wouldn't accept
I really wasn't sure where to post this sorry. For Christmas we got £40 in Love2Shop vouchers (not yet spent) from family members. In January I got £150 in Love2Shop vouchers from work (£110 of which I've spent with no issues). I think it's reasonable to assume in both cases that the vouchers are legit. However in TK Maxx…

Zippo Collection - Deagostini
I am losing the will to live! Has anybody taken out a subscription to the Zippo Collection? I subscribed last year and after 6 issues they stopped the set. The promised free gifts after the 1st and 2nd delivery never materialised. Earlier this year they then decided to start the set up again. I have now tried to make a…

Oh dear....ITV has got some of the Six Nations Rugby
Yep....they have got the Eire games. Same tactics as with their live football games. Turn over when game actually starts, go to another TV channel during half-time and then turn back when 2nd half starts. Do we really need a 1 hour build up before the game starts ? Where is Rachel Riley when you need her lol ?

Fairtrade Easter egg rip off
There was a leaflet in church today asking people to buy a proper Easter egg with the Easter message tucked inside. Choice of 3 eggs, the cheapest 165gm at £3.99, to be ordered in multiples of 6. Promoted by Fairtrade, made with Fairtrade chocolate. OK, fine, it's Easter and let's support a poor farmer. Except that at the…

Cineworld Secret Special Screenings
I'm a big fan of the Cineworld Unlimited Card - it represents excellent value for money - a whole months films for less than you might pay for one ticket to various other forms of entertainment. With the Unlimited Card comes the opportunity to attend special screenings that are reserved for Unlimited Customers. Great - a…

Praise for BA / Manchester airport
I'm usually quick to complain so thought it fitting to offer praise where due! I flew back from Hanoi to Manchester via Heathrow in January. My luggage was checked straight through. On arrival at Manchester I was paged to the desk (before luggage had even started coming out on the carousel), and was informed that my case…

Takeaway companies that deliver using a car
Or more accurately, city centre takeaway companies that deliver using a car. Just a vent! As an example, the last three times I ordered takeaway in the past few months were from Papa Johns, Dominos and Deliveroo. I leave instructions on an order when possible saying where it's ok to park as I always seem to get a driver…

Vent - McDonald's Big Breakfast
Mcdonalds have withdrawn the big breakfast from their menu. The reason given is to make their breakfast menu more exciting for their customer. However it appears they've not added anything new but have just removed the item. It annoys me they've removed the item but it annoys me more that they've used the "better for the…

Last week I ordered a grocery shop online for click and collect at my local Asda to collect after work. I turn up and after 30 minutes of 'hanging on, were trying to find it' they finally realise it hasn't arrived. They did apologise and offered to have it delivered to my home a few hours later. That never arrived, got a…
