Hi. I need to vent about his dreadful company and give a warning to those thinking of buying plants from them. Many many weeks ago I ordered pelargonium plugs and lavender plugs.

Currys Incommunicado?
My experience ... a) An operator asks a few questions then routes my call into a queue which is never answered, no matter how long I'm prepared to wait.

HSBC Customer Services - vent and praise
Hi all, A few days ago I emailed HSBC about their customer services, as every single encounter (not an exaggeration) I've had with them since joining the bank in February has been a challenge.

So I bought them both on the interest-free credit scheme. I'm now down to owing less than £1,000 for the two together and had a bit spare money - so decided to pay it off…
