The listing stated there were x4 "in stock" on the day I placed the order, the payment was made, the Amazon tracker showed the message "Preparing item for Dispatch", so I sat back thinking I…

"Prefer not to hear about Mother's Day?"
"Don't want to hear about Mother's Day? We understand - let us know below" Is anyone else getting these emails? Can anyone explain why getting an email solely about opting out of Mother's Day emails is somehow better than just receiving a run-of-the-mill email with Mother's Day type stuff?

Boots charging me for insurance without telling me
Hi All, I had an unusual experience at Boots this weekend. I’m not sure whether I’m correct in my feelings towards it. I purchased some new glasses and when I got home, I was reviewing my receipt for the Boots points amount. I noticed that the receipt said I had paid a fee for 12 months glasses cover.

NO JUNK MAIL sticker - nobody respects it - what is it for then?
I am currently being puzzled by the attitudes of both: the mail service and the leaflet people. When asking why they don't respect the sticker on the door (confronting them personally), each point at the other service that it is for them. I have explored the opt out option on the Royal Mail but there they warn that if we…
