Airbnb Rip Off
Last week I requested a 3 day booking on Airbnb but it was immediately rejected by the host. Airbnb took the full booking fee from my debit card on making the request. It is 7 days and I still haven't received the refund. The link " Track you Refund " doesn't work. It just goes to 404 Error. I have heard Airbnb can keep…

Splitting bills in restaurants / drinking rounds
My father and his girlfriend have an odd attitude to money, claiming to be skint while going on 5 holidays a year and buying a £400k house in cash. They are the tightest people I know.
