Morrisons "Buy 2 get 1 free wine offer" ????
Is Morrisons "Buy 2 get 1 free wine offer" clear? You might interpret this as when buying two bottles you get one of them free... it's not in fact this is a 3 for the price of 2 offer - which is how Morrisons and most retailers would normally promote it to avoid any confusion. Also be aware that if you put two bottles in…

TESCO Clubcard Rewards for magazines is not worth anything remotely like what Tesco say
All very well that vouchers are being extended due to Coronavirus, but they really are not worth anything remotely like what they used to be, and for magazines at least, the prices that they compare savings to are HUGELY misleading. In the past I have used them to buy a Radio Times magazine subscription. Today I checked,…

Currys / PC World. Again.
Grrrrr. This predatory outfit gets a deserved bashing on here time and again. You have to wonder if it's even worth the effort of saying: DO.NOT. SHOP. THERE.

JustGiving not allowing me to withdraw funds I've raised by Crowdfunding
I have, during Lockdown, been fundraising for several charities or causes. I have by and large used Justgiving which works ok if you can accept the delay of two weeks before the funds are released. However, I now have TWO SEPARATE cases where Justgiving is displaying (and has been for days) that funds are ready for…

Ebay suspended my account indefinitely but refuse to close it
Hello. I posted this a couple of days ago on the e-bay board but didnt get any response as its more of a sellers' forum. I'm NOT an e-bay seller and I never had an e-bay account before. And no-one else in my household or who uses my computer ever had one. Couple of days ago I found something I wanted to buy, on eBay. So, I…

Gardening Express selling dead plants
I have had the misfortune to receive five dead plants from Gardening Express. The packaging was battered and bashed. The contents were full of moss and dead thatch. I took pics of everything and sent off with a request for full refund. No response whatsoever. Then they sent a request (generic) to say what I thought of my…

Facebook ads are scams or ripoffss
It seems as if a considerable proportion of the adverts on Facebook are either scams, or blatant ripoffs. Recent examples : - Wire brush attachment for strimmer for £39.95 - twice the Ebay price. Solar powered rodent repellent devices - a little research shows that these simply don't work. Bulb planter - for £29.95 (they…

Radio Times Subscription
It seemed such a good idea in these times of lockdown to take out a subscription to the Radio Times. Not so. During the past weeks I have only received one copy on time. One didn't materialise at all and the others have arrived on the Wednesday or Thursday (and once on Friday) of the valid week. What good is that if it can…
