Paypal refund on hold
Probably me just misunderstanding things rather than a vent! I sent some money to someone as a "friends and family" gift with no fee, but for some reason it went as an e-cheque and had a fee attached. They didn't want to wait for the e-cheque to clear so they refunded me the payment. I tried it again and that time it went…

Hijacked by Windows 10.
I fired up my PC this morning, to the message "Windows 10 is ready". As I've been doing for a few weeks now, I closed the nag screen and began browsing the net. A few minutes later, up flashed the message "Restarting", followed by "Updating to Windows 10. Do not switch off your computer", Worried I might crash the computer…

Thomson Pre-paid seat allocation
Just a vent, no more no less. Refused to pay for pre-booking, choose-your own seats, and leave it to the gods of thomson to allocate me and my 2 year old a seat. Allocated two seats nowhere near each other, so good luck to the person who is sat next to my child when i am not next to her I thought. Phoned Thomson and at…

Tesco Direct
On Sunday I ordered items from Tesco Direct, to use my voucher double up before items I wanted sold out (as often happens). When I collected the parcel, one item was missing and I was told that due to computer problems it would be dispatched separately. Having heard nothing today, I called and was told the item actually…

Beware AMCA shoes
Don't buy bargain shoes from Amca. I ordered some El Naturalista shoes at a suspiciously low price (I know, I know - learnt my lesson) and then received a weird confirmation email in very bad English. Since then I've received more dodgy emails to the email address I used. Shoes arrived today from China - really cheap and…

PerfectGlasses.co.uk....a terrible experience!
If you have used this on-line prescription glasses provider and it has been straightforward, I am SO happy for you. However, it is when there is a problem that the fun will start. My issue with the company has been rambling on since March 2nd when I placed an order for prescription Polaroid sunglasses. They were faulty,…

Vent - Caxton FX card
I had a caxton fx card. A couple of years ago it was expiring and I asked if I get a new one, or should I spend out the first card. I was told the balance would merge, so I got a new card. When the new card arrived, my online account showed two balances, one for either card (the first one by then had expired). I asked if I…

I don't know where to post this and who to call. Just outside my house, at my neighbiur's chimney, is a hook which holds 3 BT phone cables.

I was at Tesco yesterday and wanted butter baby potatoes. There wasn't many left and I had to stretch to the back of the shelf to get a packet. It was then I discovered the entire shelf was covered in the butter. I got it on my hand and on the sleeve of my coat. I put my coat on for wash as soon as I got home but it hasn't…

5p bag scam
I've come to the conclusion that the 5p bags were invented behind closed doors meetings of greedy supermarket bosses trying to find a way to prevent people from shopping around. Of course if you have to pay 5p for bags you will buy the bag for lifes which works out cheaper. But who really wants to repeat that at every…

Tesco not interested
Blow me! I usually buy my dear old mother a gift card for her birthday, as it makes both our lives much easier, (esp for me as I live in Australia.) I've bought Marks and Sparks, BHS, and others. For a change I thought I'd get her a Tesco one, so she can get some groceries on it. Tried using the online order form, came…
