One guy came a couple of weeks ago and dug holes and used all sorts of equipment to determine the leak. Anyway came back today with a partner and moled a new section of pipe. Both guys really friendly and…

eGlobalCentralUK - avoid.
Consider carefully before buying from eGlobalCentralUK/Hong Kong. Communication is good until you ask for service - then it dries up entirely. I ordered a tablet and it arrived damaged beyond use (glass smashed). eGlobalCentral prevaricated and then went silent, eventually forcing me to seek redress through Paypal - who…

Birds Eye - Mixed feelings
Well I was looking for something 'cod' that I could microwave. Looking around various online shopping sites most products seemed to be oven or grill or whatever. I then ventured onto Birds-Eye's own site as I wanted to look at some other (unrelated,vegetable actually) items actually and while I was there I noted a page or…

Praise - Autoglass
Had a new windscreen with a built in heating element installed in Dec 14. Really frosty the other morning and noticed it wasn't working properly so emailed Autoglass under their lifetime warranty. Windscreen also had a fairly big chip on it as well, but this wasn't the cause of the issue. I was expected some resistance to…

Currys vent
Probably dodged a bullet not buying from Currys today. I have been looking for a new laptop and wanted one with a dvd drive. So I checked the Curry's website and there was a decent Lenovo 14" laptop which listed a dvd drive. I ordered online, although didn't pay thankfully, and drive 20 miles to collect. Get to Currys and…

Although I'm fairly certain MSErs wouldn't be taken in by this, it may be worth warning any vulnerable or gullible people you know "Victims in North Hertfordshire have reportedly been approached by an offender claiming to be an illegal immigrant who has won the lottery.

In prasie of Vodafone
This may shock people.. but I just had a good experience after an unexpected bill-shock with Vodafone. My wife had £75 extra on her phone bill this month - quite a shock, although we'd been abroad and we thought it was an issue with the (free) roaming. Phoned them up - apparently we'd bought a phone! After a lot of…

Pukka Pies, Pukka Customer Service
I tried a Pukka steak pie on Tuesday 7th November, and while the pastry and gravy were delicious, there were only two (yes, two!) pieces of steak in the pie. I sent a light-hearted email via Pukka's website, just to draw the possible quality control issue to their attention. I thought that I'd get a generic email reply,…
