What do you do with spam phone calls?
I usually say "oh, that's exactly what I need, please hold the line a couple minutes, I will finish the parallel call and get back to you" and put them on hold forever. But they do not wait for longer than half a minute. Is there any more efficient way to discourage them from doing their nasty job? Without spending too…

Sky Retentions Team
I've been on chat for 2.5 hours with Sky now trying to renegotiate my TV service in response to their hikes. First agent said they could reduce the price, but not by as much as Virgin. Their 'retention' agent then said the best they could do is increase it by 21% - on top of the 33% hike I just got! Then when I said I…

Dreadful Service From Evri Plymouth - Devon Coverage.
I've arranged, twice, for a relative, to receive something. They live in Devon. I'm not the sender. The driver for the Devon area, is hopeless. Yesterdays parcel was left in a totally different road, and outside of the timeframe but that's probably due to volume of traffic. Todays parcel, due 1-2pm and still not there,…

Miele 'customer service'
Anyone tried to contact Miele lately about breakdowns of their products? Pretty much impossible to get through to them within a reasonable time now - 25 minutes so far and still waiting to speak to someone. Very expensive machines, but they obviously don't rate their customers highly enough to provide any sort of service.

Checking for genuine CE / UKCA mark
Is there some way of checking whether an item has a genuine CE mark or whether it is fake ? I have just ordered a Chinese made USB adapter from Amazon that claims to be safe - because it has a CE mark and UKCA mark. Is there a database online or something - because CE marking seem totally pointless otherwise... Screenshot…

Minor moan about Peppa Pig world
Our family of four we to to Peppa Pig world on Sunday, and a good time was had by all. My minor moan is that people under 1m tall are supposed to get free entry. My youngest is 99cm, so we didn’t book a ticket for him, but at the park they measured him in his fat-soled trainers, which take him over the 1m mark, and so we…

Regretting ordering from Raleigh.. (reworded re-post)
I have had some bad experiences with Raleigh recently and I wanted to share them. I did delete the contents of my original message because I was worried about defamation but I shouldn't need to be because what I said was true it just wasn't positive. I ordered a bike from Raleigh over the weekend and realized that I had…
