Anyone paid for WiFi access, to use WhatsApp, on a TUI flight and it didn’t work?
I asked the cabin crew and they said that it’s not working yet…yet it was advertised as working…and TUI know that? Isn’t that wrong? Immoral?

Why tradesmen just can't be bothered
It is almost impossible to get a tradesman to do anything round here. I say 'almost' because the local decorator is on point, the plumbers are responsive enough, and you can get an electrician with only moderate effort. The rest you can forget about. I'm writing this whilst waiting for a roofer to turn up to quote. He's…

Scams linked to apps
On saturday we needed to charge our electric car a Peterborough Services on the A1. We needed to download the IONITY app to do this. To create an account I had to put in my bank card details. This is a stressful thing to have to do when you are short of time and standing in the cold. Unbeknown to me there was a banner at…

FENSA Guarantee - Not what you May Think
I pass on this salutary tale to anyone who thinks FENSA Certification
gives peace of mind through an insurance backed guarantee. My installer ceased trading, FENSA themselves identified a
fault on an inspection but it turns out I am not covered under their
definitions, something I was unaware of. As background we renovated…

Marks and Spencer travel money warning
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). Email says I'll get money back in up to 14 days less £10 charge. Not ideal since I'll be on holiday by then. (and not paying £10…

1 in 5 adverts on the radio are gambling, it's horrendous.
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…

easyjet onboard vouchers
When you check in online for easyjet they offer you the chance to buy a £10 voucher to spend onboard for £8. How can that make financial sense for them? Well I found out to my detriment the other day. I had a voucher, and made £10.50 of purchases onboard. The stewardess says "That's just 50 pence then please" and hands me…

Tesco remove pay in store via app
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. So now you're going to have to use your separate payment card and separate clubcard. Would anyone understand why this is being done as it…

Austin Mockrige
I’ve seen a post with several pages of comments regarding Austin Mockrige these posts are from 2009 and 2011. Unfortunately we in 2021 have been treated exactly the same, a 17th century house in Par Cornwall which we paid for for two weeks in August. We didn’t get to go on this holiday, we had holiday cancelled by David…

There is a famous Latin quote: "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" - which translates as "Who is guarding the guards themselves?"Or to put in this particular context - who is reviewing the reviewers?Most of the posts in this forum about TrustPilot seem to raise questions about whether TrustPilot is pressured or influenced by…
