    I got totally trouted in my local with the pizza's - had picked my SA and then got summoned to self service where a girl would put my pizza coupons in - she got called away and old trout came over and refused to put in coupons, and cancelled the first two - talk about flagging myself ! Pizzaless here ! And can't try again as they now know what im at !

    Bye Elite :wave:

    Most of the time it's been fun and very interesting to learn a few tricks of the trade. But dare anyone unpopular express an opinion against the grain my god you pay for it.

    One minute it's not okay to abuse coupons, the next it's fine raid the shop's. I can't be @rsed with the snidey comments both here and via PM, so well done you know who you are ;) I will no longer be posting on this thread. Bye

    Aww don't let a few comments scare you away - someone'll almost always disagree/know better/take offence no matter what you say or do. Annoying, but that's just how it is. Your contributions here are very much appreciated by the vast majority of us! c0408.gif

    well I am still negotiating with EDF they so far admit to £949 overcharge....but I have queried their figures and this is likely to go up!

    But.....a measly £50 compensation for spending the winter in darkness dues to quilts and blankets nailed to windows and doors and freezing cold because too scared to turn boiler on due to cost......now I know it wasnt my boiler! Also used kettle and electric heater which I would not have done if I wasnt scared to turn gas on! gas would have been cheaper! Interest on the £1k plus they had of mine???

    I am actually very shocked by this. Such a huge overcharge. And it took you, the customer to notice and to have to negotiate putting things right. Only £50 compensation? Scary stuff - I would have no idea if my utility co was overcharging me :o. Shuffles off to check her bill ...

    Well done for fighting your corner CS... but i agree that £50 compo is nothing compared to you having a freezing cold winter.. do they not remember the snow etc in Feb?! :eek: Hope you get what you deserve from them :A

    Hey guys, I've got a bit of a dilemma,

    I've just taken delivery of what I thought was my super ebay bargain from Tuesday. Won a soft carrycot for my pram from Argos ebay outlet for £17.99. Right colour to match pram, brand new, only £1.99 delivery and RRP about £70. Was :j

    Anyway, delivery driver has just been and have not been sent what I ordered. The details are correct on the paperwork attached and our address details are on the box. But instead of the soft carrycot, I've been sent a proper hard carrycot, a different colour complete with raincover and blanket. I had been looking at getting one of these but couldn't justify the extra cash as no good deals about and about £150.

    Now I don't know what to do. I feel like I should let the Argos outlet know that I've received the wrong item and see what they say. DH thinks as baby not due for a few weeks we should just leave it packaged and wait to see if we hear anything, if not keep schtum.

    Just can't help thinking there will be some poor person elsewhere getting a raw deal :o

    My mum has always said to me "if in doubt, say nothing at all" and this is a good time to heed those words... I'd keep schtum.
    Hey you lot this is my first post i'm a recently converted lurker to a newbie so be nice :p

    My mum (Ms Money Penny... sorry mam!) usually tells me about the bargains and even though I'm going travelling for 6 months on 20 June all these Pizza deals are perfect for my leaving party!


    Just wondering if the price checker has been fixed for the JTD on the Chicago Town, B+J and Garlic Bread deal as I'd rather get that but if not Ms Money Penny has kindly donated me 3 pizza Price Flop vouchers so I'm gonna get the Italian ranges too!

    Over and out!
    Welcome, welcome, welcome :D My friend put her pizza/B&J receipt in Tuesday night and still not had anything back yet. the deal is on until Sunday but you aren't guaranteed the JTD while the poop checker is down.
    Tiger :cool:
