Marks and Spencer Shrinking Clothes
Hi All I buy a lot of M&S T-Shirts (Mens large size) and I'm starting to get angry, I've noticed that about 25% of them have shrunk. They start of measuring 46" around the chest and after one 30 degree wash (not tumble dried) they are down to 43" It's been my practice to buy throughout the year when I see one I like and…

Sports Direct Voucher Warning
Sports Direct offer a £5 voucher if goods are delivered to a store, (I thought click and collect). They still charge £4.99 postage for this privilege, the same as having it delivered to your address. My parcel was delivered to Matalan for collection, the local Sports Direct store was not a given option. Guess what? No…

ASOS Lost Order - No Refund!
I need to vent! Last week I placed an order with ASOS for next day delivery and it went missing. UK Mail lost it and confirmed it was lost, both to me and to ASOS. I asked ASOS for a replacement or a refund. They said they need to look into it which takes 12 days. So I just asked for a refund. They said they need to look…

Well done Fiskars
I bought a pair of Fiskars telescopic hedge shears a few years back, the ones with the locking mechanism at the base of the handles. Unfortunately, not long after purchase these failed and could no longer lock the handles in place, however as they were a decent pair of shears I soldiered on and continued to try and use…

Beware of poundworld closing down sale
In Poundworld earlier, & the prices in each section have various % knocked off due to administration. However, prices on the shelf are still the "old" price. However, in some areas the staff have been over zealous... for example... Batteries have 50% off "the marked price" of them. Packets of D batteries were on the shelf…

Problems occurred when our builder tried to order from them which caused weeks of delay. When it finally arrived they sent the wrong panels which were different dimensions which meant the partly built…

NHS Travel Vaccinations

These are done on the NHS at our GP's travel clinic, they used to be recommended even for life in UK, but perhaps not nowadays though? If that's no longer the case, I CAN see the argument that holiday travel is voluntary…

Vent - Simply Be are rubbish!
Got a leaflet in the mail with a code for 30% off. Great, thinks I! Go add some stuff to my basket, go to check out and the 30% hasn't been applied to everything. I email them, asking what things are eligible, as it makes no mention on the voucher I got. In the meantime I purchase the things it has applied the discount to.…
