Yorkshire Tea teabags - less tea in them?
It now takes three or four Yorkshire Tea teabags to produce the same strength of tea that the last box produced - just a box of poorly filled teabags, or has anyone else noticed this apparent change?

Stonebridge College...BEWARE
I enrolled on level 3 teaching assistant course a few years ago, which I completed and had all 11 units marked by an assessor (definitely copy and paste marked as they put the wrong name on one of my feedback sheets.)

PC World Selling used item
HI, just after some advice. Earlier today I bought a Logitech G29 steering wheel for my son's PS4. When we opened the box I noticed there were no cable ties on the leads, the bags containing the items were open and the box was a bit tardy. When we took the pedal set out of the box there was a load of dust and what looked…

I bought a TV from Richer Sounds and the next day the price dropped £50 for them and all competitors (Curry's, AO). I rang up to enquire about their price promise.

Tesco Pay app
Please be wary when using the Tesco pay app. When I tried to pay for my shopping the assistant said the payment failed. She tried 3 times and eventually I paid by card. I then checked my banking app and discovered it had taken the payment 4 times. After a very stressful time the manager managed to reverse one of the…

HSBC Telephone banking

Then go on an online spending spree, making the account overdrawn (warning texts from HSBC went to…

So much for buying from a local florist!
Decided to have some flowers delivered for a relatives birthday. Rather than use some random Interflora florist I decided to use a florist local to the lady they were being delivered to. Found a website for a shop in the same village less than a quarter of a mile from her address and ordered from them for delivery today.…

Amazon - is it a screw up, or is it deliberate?
Credit to Amazon, they've fixed the system so the customer feels the full inconvenience of their screw-ups. I ordered some items from them. (2 replacement shaver heads). The parcel arrived today, but instead of the correct item, they'd sent 2 completely different models. No chance of sending out the correct items though. I…

Beware "inclacs" website - very possibly FAKE
Inclacs - A seemingly legitimate website - which had a large (but reasonable) discount on an item I wanted. However having later googled to find it, I read some alarming things - such as the Postcode it was addressed to not existing...which turned out to be true. I contacted my bank...and FORTUNATELY they haven't taken the…

You should be automatically offered a receipt.
It is Wilkinson’s policy to ask if you want a receipt. I rang their Customer Service to ask if Wilko would issue a refund without a receipt and I was told no they would not. Sainsburys are also briefly offer customers a choice of whether they want a receipt or not on their self-scan tills. If you do not notice the message…
