AmEx and 4 form factor authentication
AmEx are really starting to go OTT on logging in on their website... 1) Enter Username and Password for 1FA 2) Told to authenticate in app for 2FA 3) FaceID for 3FA 4) Have to have a text to complete app log in 4FA No idea why they've gone from text authentication to app when you still need a text to get into the app!…

Feeling ripped off by Amazon
Evening. I'm feeling rather ripped off by Amazon and, after a long time trying to work out what went wrong, I appreciate it might have been avoidable and hope to prevent others from making the same mistake. My young son is in hospital and I decided to buy him a Lego crane that he's had his eye on. Amazon's price was £45,…

Leaky Tassimo
We have a Tassimo machine which are rather like but recently the edge has gone off it. It has always worked fine but some point last year we had some hot chocolate pods that spilled hot chocolate everywhere. That was annoying, but once we identified it was only the hot chocolate and then that batch of pods was used up,…

I want to save the NHS some money
Following a diagnosis and an initial scan my GP has referred me to two adjacent trusts which have good reputations for Endocrinology and Neurology. Treatment is good with both as is the prognosis.

In my day... motivation to work
I've been finding more and more lately that 'good service' and acting in the interest of the customer seems to be a lost art and I've also spent some time with my sister who has terrible spending habits, no money and is constantly digging herself into more and more debt and just hiding under the covers and hoping it'll go…
