Moneysupermarket Advert Vent
I may get a bashing for this but here goes- I just find the ad where the 3 guys compete as to who dances best horrible. Was taking to a neighbour yesterday and her son (almost 4 years old) keep putting on her high heels and mimicking the guy in the tight shorts. She said its kind of 'funny but disturbing at the same time'.…

Private Floor
Has anybody else had trouble with (or even heard about) this lot? "Factory prices" furniture/furnishings site. VERY stupidly (before anyone else says it!) we've ordered some furniture from them and paid by bank transfer (5% discount; I know, I should have paid by credit card :-( ). Now, 5 weeks on, no reply to emails,…

ANPR cameras- are they everywhere and logging everyone?
If a guy was going to drive a couple of miles through different residential places over some main roads would their car be logged. Someone told me that if they were up to no good. Would the cameras log his movements? What do the cameras look like and where typically are they located? If the guy was going to go on his…

Advice on how to deal with poor customer service
Hi, I was wrongfully stopped by security guards at a Primark store on suspicion of shoplifting. The guards made me feel like a criminal and I was very traumatised, embarrassed and humiliated by the way I was treated and submitted a complaint to Primark's head office. I was not satisfied with the response as they basically…

Mercedes Hemel Hempstead misprice
I made an went to test drive a car today and 15 minutes into the appointment I got told that the car was incorrectly priced and was actually £4k more than listed. The final nail in the coffin was the attitude of the business manager because he quite clearly didn't give a damn. I'll take my £20k car budget elsewhere.

Sainsburys ending brand match.
Sainsbury's are ending their Brand Match scheme. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-35984360 Obviously they're a private company and can do as they please, but even if any cost from this is re-invested into trying to undercut other supermarkets on own-branded food, I don't see how it will work in their favour. Relatively…

Took blu ray back a couple of weeks ago with an intermittent fault, they tested and arranged to replace it. Nothing unusual do far, but was surprised and delighted when I…

Online shoes - ARGHHH
Ok, before I get into just how stupid I've been, you need to know it was in the pursuit of wedding trainers which (obviously) the manufacturer had stopped producing. And it was 1am, and I'd been looking all night. I was so overjoyed to see these shoes offered, I put in my credit card details without thinking. Then, noticed…

Parcelfarce delivered item to Amazon instead!!
Arghhhh! So angry at the moment I could scream. Ordered two books from the USA. Both were signed at separate events by artists / animators so difficult to obtain in the UK. Seller (online gallery) sent them and was tracking online so saw they'd been delivered to local Parcelfarce depot on the 31st March. Waited for them to…

Honda crv problem - clutch and flywheel
I have a 2014 Honda CRV 1.6.diesel, after less than 8000 miles it needs a new flywheel and clutch. It has taken Honda some 7 weeks to supply the flywheel.
