Which Magazine - Fair?
Just read this - the open letter is certainly something worth reading. https://www.ebac.com/wm-which/ While you can't believe everything you read, I'm more inclined to believe the company on this occurance as I can see Which only looking at certain criteria. Not a good look for Which and calls into question a large amount…

Post Office & Royal Mail - outdated, incompetent and cutting corners
Not often I post here - but here we go! I use Royal Mail for sending small items, receiving goods and also at work for dispatch of between 20 and 50 items a day - and it seems lately they're just cutting corners and costs to the extreme.

Tesco shelf labels. Make sure you have your glasses on.
Nearly got caught out by this Tesco label. Chorizo £2.50, the Any 2 for £2 refers to Cheeses, I had to photograph the text and blow it up to be sure as I didn't have glasses with me. OK so it looks like a too good to be true offer, but if it had been, say, 2 for £3 or £4 I would not have checked and would have ended up…
