Went to click and collect my travel money today and the store said it had been cancelled. Money has left my account and I got home to a cancellation message (that said I'd cancelled - I hadn't).

I only ever listen to the radio when I'm in the car and I listen to Kisstory which plays old school bangers from the 1990s / early 2000's, and I probably hear a gambling advert about once every 5 ads. Whether it's an ad about the lotto, bingo, william hill, slots, las vegas online casino etc it's appalling. Then on top of…

Don't know if this is the right forum subsection. I received an email last week from Tesco informing me that they're removing the ability to pay in store using the app on the 7th March.

Had no idea it was a Click and Collect shop so didn't put the ECP code on and the parcel was rejected and returned to me. I get that…
