Aldi Hedge Trimmer
2yrs ago I bought an Aldi Cordless hedge trimmer for if I remember correctly £35. It came with a 3yr warranty. It broke down at the back end of last year, I wasn't going to bother to claim for it, however I did this year, prior to the warranty expiring. I contacted the company that deals with Aldi warranties in Germany,…

National Lottery
After playing the National Lottery since its inception, my wife finally won a 4 figure prize last Saturday 24th February! Previously you could go to the Post Office to validate the ticket and receive your payout. You now have to put a claim in online, you are given a claim reference, then you have to wait.

Admiral - trying to cancel auto renew on line.
Proper rant here - but they make you go through every confusing hoop possible before finally allowing you to click on the "cancel - and I really mean it!" button. At least I got the auto survey at the end, so was able to vent my spleen somewhat.

Motorola - Dreadful Customer Service
Purchased a phone (G73) directly from them less than a year ago which suddenly died and would not switch on, started the process of arranging a return for a repair under warranty and it's been an utter shambles from the start. Terrible communication, significant delays with getting return info, calls to chargeable phone…

Amazon Prime unwanted accidental membership
I just wanted to highlight that although I am moderately savvy with on-line goods ordering I fell foul of accidental acceptance of Amazon Prime membership while ordering some optics. Although free UK delivery was already incorporated in this sale I had not realised that Prime membership was already selected by default. An…

Someone using my details to sign up on gambling sites for free bets
On a couple of occasions recently I've had an email in my inbox welcoming me to a gambling site which I've never signed up for. These are well known gambling sites (Pokerstars was one) and in each case I went to the site and contacted their customer service to get the account blocked. On one occasion I used the forgot…

Cheap electronics - is there a catch?
I may be paranoid, or just learning lessons from mistakes of others. Not needing repeating them myself. What concerns me: there is a flood of cheaper 'brands' of electronics on the market, whether it is e-bay, Amazon, and others (not even bothered going on Temu and alikes). I have been looking for a compact camera, for…

Disgraceful response from Facebook regarding deep fake advert involving Martin

Martin.....and that you take it up with Meta/ Facebook and demand some
answers. A few days ago I saw an advert on Facebook which was obviously a deep
fake one showing Martin speaking and also introducing Elon Musk.. It
was obvious (to me) that it was a fake…
