Dreams living Outdoors
I purchased the Monaco 8 piece rattan set Aug 2017. In Oct we wrapped it up for the winter. Summer 2018 we used it. Put it away again last winter. Got it out in April only to find the coated frame has rusted. Not only is it marking the decking, it obviously will deteriorate more over time & would be unsafe. Dreams Living…

Fed up with plumbers
Yes, all of you tarred with the same brush. I'm heartily sick to the back teeth with plumbers. They advertise, plumbing, heating, bathroom installation, no job too small, blah blah blah. So I call, usually obliged to leave a message (fair enough, most likely in the middle of fitting something). So it's a short but clear…

Warning for Touchnote customers
Touchnote use a credit based system, with credits expiring after 12 months. They will neither refund nor extend them, so if you don't use up your credits your money is lost, i.e. they are happy to steal from you. Companies that force you to buy credits first before you can buy the actual product put profit before the…

'Buy a Gift' issue buyers beware.
We were given one of the deluxe vouchers for a 2-night stay in any one of 65 locations. I read the blackout dates some hotels put on their terms and conditions and chose 3 suitable options, all of whom said they had no blackout dates at all. I tried to book every one of those hotels only to be told there is no…

AirBnB Feedback
Morning Just back from a few days away in an AirBnB and just want to see what people think. The place was advertised as luxury, which I took with a pinch of salt ;) but there were a few things that stretched this and I'm just wondering what sort of review to leave. These are the worst things, we paid quite a bit of money…

Paypal Credit - 24 month Payment Terms and 4 month no interest that isn't
OK, I know I have been stupid. But I want to stop others being stupid so writing this post. I have a paypal credit account. One item I bought last month on 24 month payment terms, one item I bought on 4 month interest free payment terms (much more expensive) which is due the beginning of June. I have been paying money in…

Gardening Express selling dead plants
I have had the misfortune to receive five dead plants from Gardening Express. The packaging was battered and bashed. The contents were full of moss and dead thatch. I took pics of everything and sent off with a request for full refund. No response whatsoever. Then they sent a request (generic) to say what I thought of my…

Panel Base Surveys- please check your account!
If this is in the wrong place, please move it! I wanted to post this as important to act on fast in case anyone else loses out as I have. I was a member of Panel Base surveys for a number of years. Had rated them as one of the better survey sites to sign up to and had always paid for their surveys in full. I had until now…

The Passport Office
From dropping my application to replace my going out of date passport into the letterbox, to the new one dropping through my letterbox..........8 days, total. Well done them. :T Bonus, it doesn't have "European Union" on the top - if only it were blue. ;)

Frankie & Bennys
Does anyone know how to contact Frankie & Bennys head office. I bought 2 x £20 vouchers last Friday 17th on line as the restaurants don't give out vouchers for a gift for a birthday. I got an email from them to say they had received my order and were processing. The money has been taken out my bank but I have still to…

Day in the Life of Bob - people who offer unwanted advice
Has anyone noticed how so many people offer personal advice you didn't ask for on topics they have absolutely zero experience of, that you have decades of experience in? When you explain your experience has taught you otherwise (and give examples of actual experiences), they get irritated or accuse you of "not listening"…

Charity doorstep collection
Do any of them actually do what they say they will? I had a clear out of clothes a couple of weeks ago. Since then I have put them in bags provided by 3 different collectors, and put the bags out on the days they say they will collect, but not one of them has actually bothered to turn up. So all they're doing is shoving…

LG Vent
Ok I'm going to have a vent at LG. Our washer dryer basically needed rebuilding from scratch around 3 months ago. It was still under the manufacturers warranty so after a bit of persuading I managed to get LG to offer me a full refund for the product. All well and good. But before I could get the refund the unit needed to…

Thompson and Morgan 20 'lucky dip' hanging basket flowers
So we ordered the lucky dip plants thinking they were great value, however, for multiple reasons we are not happy. 1) when delivered they were left leaning on the front door (in the scorching sunlight) even though we have clear access to a back garden for them to be left in. 2) when opened, the plants were in fact tiny and…

Kybotech / Garden Buildings Direct
Delivery within seven days they promise. I arranged delivery for 16 days after the order. Shed has to come over a brick wall which they won't do so I've hired a crane to do it, taken three days off work, dismantled the old shed, stacked the stuff in the garden until I build the new one, but it'll be OK since the next few…

Can flexible plastic be recycled
My local council/tip have brought in a new bag sorting policy which means that any mixed bagged waste taken to the tip intended for the non-recyclable waste skip will have to be taken to a designated bag sorting area and sorted so you can put them in the correct skip. So yesterday I took a keter storage shed to the tip and…
