HANDHELD VACUUM CLEANER RECOMMENDATIONS, PLEASE
Hi Guys Please would you kindly let me have your recommendations for the "less expensive" handheld vacuum cleaners?

Warning!!! Re: Screwfix Free Stanley Toolkit offer (Scam email)
I received an email with the heading showing Screwfix Free Stanley tookit, being curious because I have received free items from Screwfix if I have not used them for a while in the past. I went through a mini (very basic) survey and then it says £2 postage applies. I wonder how many people read the smallprint at the bottom…

I bought a watch from https://nordgreen.co.uk/. The battery lasted three years, which is good, but now I can't replace it. Their website used to say that it was easy to replace batteries yourself https://nordgreen.com/blogs/guides/how-to-change-a-watch-battery but I couldn't figure out how to do it, and after I contacted…

Trademarks and writing books
Hi everyone. I have stumbled upon a strange issue. In 2012, I started writing a book. I have used a name in the book for the place the whole adventure takes place. Last year, someone internationally trademarked the name and was successful. I don't have funds to fight or object. Does anyone know the legal standing on this?…

Driving school franchise rip off
I wanted to share my very bad ongoing experience with a driving school. I entered into a contract to become a driving instructor last summer and decided for personal reasons not to pursue it. Now I face being sued for what he would have made out of me had I continued. I dont think people know what they are getting into. I…

Don't demonise renters
Why is it people who rent appear to be looked down on in the UK. Circumstances such as redundancy, divorce, death of a partner can all force perfectly good people into the rental market. The vast majority look after the properties they rent but sadly can rarely call it their home as they're never sure when they'll recieve…

Screw you Barclaycard
So I've had a "standard" Barclaycard for literally decades. I put a lot of purchases through it, between £12k & £20k a year on average, mainly for convenience and Section 75 protection. I pay the card off in full every month. Obviously I've been missing a trick here and should have had some kind of rewards card with the…

Costa "Egg Mayo" sandwich with no actual mayo in it?
Ate one of these day, but as far as I could tell there was no mayo in this "mayo" sandwich. Maybe I shouldn't complain too much, as I got it cheap through the To Good To Go app, but if I'd paid full price for it I'd be pretty miffed.

Warning about LookIncredible.co.uk
I think I've been scammed. Bought something from them a month ago by clicking on an ad on Google. Money taken immediately, nothing received. Have emailed them several times, each time they say they have refunded me but I've had nothing. Just looked on Trustpilot (why didn't I do this before ordering??) and see a litany of…

Scammed and so difficult to report
So I was scammed out of £800, and almost resigned to the loss, that I will never get my money back.But although this is annoying enough, what really gets to me is no one is interested. I try and report it, and just given a 'bean count' number. No feedback, no reponse, no investigation.The ads I fell for are still there.…

EDF UTTER SHAMBLES...
Phoned EDF to query why we have not received any bills since last year to find they switched us to email billing. Thought that was odd because I never gave them an email unless they have it on file from when we were with Sainsbury's energy. But that account didn't work, it would never let me login after Sainsbury's Energy…

Argos "Marketplace"
I have recently found that some items in the Argos catalogue are little more than advertising for the underlying supplier company. As such, these products do NOT benefit from the same convenience which enables returns to an Argos shop for their stocked items - that is, specifically, you can't return these goods to store…

NHS and Private Health Care
I have been in an NHS hospital for nearly seven months with my beautiful five-year-old daughter, who is undergoing treatment for AML leukaemia. During our extended stay, we witnessed numerous errors, some of which could have been fatal. The NHS is under immense pressure, and its management requires urgent review. There are…
