Magazine Subscription Rip-Off
This is a bit of a rant. I took a trial offer of 3 cheap editions of the Cricketer, on the basis that after the third issue I arrived I would cancel to prevent being charge full price for the next 12 months. Before the third edition arrived, they charge me £45 for 12 months. I am absolutely fuming, but they refuse to…

Currys 12month warranty... or 30 days BEWARE.
Hello my first post here so be gentle, We bought a Humax freeview box less than 90 days ago. Right from the very first week of using it we had noticed that programmes we'd recorded had failed and then realised the box had started switching its self off and rebooting. We knew it was new and it would be guaranteed so it…

Fairfx PIN number warning
I forgot my PIN on my Fairfx card and set about requesting a new on. If you have the card you simply enter the 16 digit number, the 3 digit number on the reverse and your date of birth over the phone. That's it , you are then given your forgotten PIN over the phone. How on earth is this secure? I would have expected the…

Mouse in restaurant
Haven't ventured here before so bracing myself for responses! I took some clients out to a nice restaurant for lunch today and just after the main course arrived, a mouse ran out of the kitchen and across the dining room floor! The waiters weren't at all surprised and said it was a common problem! I didn't eat any of the…

Flipping Royal Mail!
A couple of weeks ago I walked into my hallway to find a 'sorry we missed you' card stuffed through the letterbox. I was in, didn't hear postman knock (front door next to lounge) but gave benefit of doubt and re-arranged delivery for the following Tuesday. Tuesday arrives, I'm sat on my sofa talking on the phone and watch…

*Praise* .... Trimcraft
A big thank you to Sarah @ Trimcraft www.trimcraft.co.uk for going out of her way to help today. She couldn't assist with my original enquiry, but then made an alternative suggestion that was probably even more helpful. She reminded me that there are still some caring and understanding staff in companies. Well done, Sarah!

They say they don't deal with online shopping but someone must be above the call centre abroad?! Or…

VENT: October is Free Wills Month - Scam?
try going to the web site http://freewillsmonth.org.uk/ Seems that whatever postcode you enter, you are told "Sorry - we're not in your area at the moment" Really? Is this just an email address collecting service so that you can be sold an expensive will-making service in 4 weeks time?

Vent - Post Office customer service number
When ringing it, you go through the motions of press 1 for x 2 for y etc. Then to get the message "due to unexpected circumstances we cannot take your call". So I tried three different phone routes and the same message. As sometimes ringing a different department can be quicker as some call centres internal calls…

I have been saying for years how thoughtless it is that most suppliers put the cooking instructions in something like four…

The site was in French but I clicked on the English flag (since removed) and found they had the trainers…

I have today received an envelope from Royal Mail returning a letter I had sent to the last known address of someone I had not contacted for some time. On the back of the Royal Mail envelope it say "When posting, always remember to: . Write a full return address on the reverse of the envelope" I had done that so why did…
