Daals?
Anyone with any experience of this company? I need a new office-style chair. Thought I'd identified a likely candidate on their website. However, I've been looking at reviews, and there are either the best thing ever, or the worst thing ever, depending on who you believe........... Should I shop somewhere else?

System collapse
I’m looking for advice from others who’ve dealt with 24/7 Home Rescue. After an engineer visit, I was left with no heating or hot water. There were repeated investigations, a promised repair visit that didn’t happen, and the issue remained unresolved. I’ve now arranged an independent emergency repair due to winter…

Cafe Nero deleting stamped cards from the app
I regularly visit Cafe Nero, and had amassed a lot of fully stamped cards on the app (around 20 at one point). As a good money saving strategy, I wait until a card is about to expire, then use it. And that way I spread out my freebies throughout the year. Just recently I looked in my app, and saw that there were only 5…

Almost every single review is a…

Free tv?
The powers that be (mostly very wealthy) are trying to get us all to use the internet to watch television. Using names like "Freely" to kid us that there`s no cost at all. "Freeview " was always a bit of a misnomer. Telling us how great it will be not to need aerials or satellite dishes. Not mentioning that once you`ve…

Marks and Spencer Hamper
M & S delivered an empty hamper for my birthday. My son says he filled it with gifts and food chosen from their store. He wouldn't send me an empty hamper! Very odd. M & S customer service are unhelpful and not going to do anything about it. I have an empty flimsy hamper full of shredded paper?! How weird. M & S lost my…

Marks Electrical TV wall mounting – unsafe install and refused reimbursement
We paid Marks Electrical for a professional TV wall-mounting service and unfortunately had an extremely poor, stressful and costly experience that has still not been resolved nearly three months later. From the outset, the process was problematic. The first installation visit failed completely — the installers did not even…

How often do you pick up other peoples rubbish?
What I'm mostly referring to here is arriving at some local spot to walk the dog or go for a walk yourself and finding a drinks can, plastic bottle, fast food container just discarded on the ground. It really annoys me that people defile such beautiful places in nature! I was always brought up not to litter as were many…

Postage Cost
Postage costs, the real reason…… The reason for over pricing of postage is due to big business, eBay, Amazon using Royal Mail as their own courier service. It’s the reason eBay can now afford to let you SELL FOR FREE…. No chance, they would disappear !! They can allow you to sell for free as they have signed up to Royal…
