Evans Halshaw Not refunding "Move me closer" deposit
Just a warning about Evans Halshaws move me closer scheme. Basically the scheme works by offering to move a car to your local branch FREE for you to view. You need to pay a £200 fee but If you decide the car isn't for you your money is REFUNDABLE - so they say, I ordered a car to be moved to my branch online and paid £200.…

Check your change @ Burger King Paddington train station
I had a blatant attempt by one of the staff at Burger King in Paddington train station at short changing me. This was no accident but purposely done. After paying for my meal, the guy that served me seemed to take a little longer than normal at getting my change out of the till and I thought maybe because he was new to the…

Avuncular Tesco Self Service Checkouts.
Just been to grab a sarnie for lunch from the Tesco across the road. Some Golgafrincham Ark B candidate Marketing Droid has decided it would be a good idea that the Self Service Checkouts should say "Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas". All 8 Machines. Every time someone pays. You can hear the damn things over the whole shop. I…

Pop-ups but not blockable -annoying...
The latest irritation is visiting a site for research etc and just as you're about to navigate a pop-up blocks your view which you have to get rid of to continue. Sometimes you click when navigating and a pop-up appears... I've got FF pop-up blocker and ABP but still they keep on coming... They could be wanting you to…

Lidl wine offer - not as simple as it seems!
Lidl currently have an offer of £4 off their 'wine cellar' wines if you buy 4 bottles or more. The first time I bought them there was no £4 off. When I read the offer again, it said you have to buy them together with a special cardboard wine carrier which quotes the offer. Today I went into another branch and found the…

Mint flavoured peas.
Why is it that whatever brand of processed/marrowfat peas I see these days are mint flavoured? A bit of mint with garden peas is ok occasionally, but IMO mint doesn't work in processed.

Silverstone Experiences - gift vouchers
Couple of warnings if you are buying for a gift for someone. The price quoted does not include £20 insurance (unless you want to risk a £1500 excess) A tactic more like a dodgy Malaga hire car company, than the premier British motor racing circuit in my opinion. I booked my experience this week for Sunday, 3 times…

A caller line display praise.
I have a cordless phone which usually sits next to me so I usually answer the phone within 1-2 rings. Then I got caller line display :j and started to screen the calls. Now when my wife's sister calls I don't answer the phone and instead yell to my wife that her sister is calling and for her to answer on another extension.…
