What would you do?
Coming home i was following this lorry, he was a maniac, never slowed down at traffic light, going way too fast mounted the path, was a box type lorry, tail gating the car infront, if that was me infront i would have been !!!!ping myself. I was(never ever felt the need to do this before) so outraged i took the number off the lorry to ring and number plate when i was behind him,/her at some other lights i was going to ring and report him but havent yet

I once reported a small van in the same way. He kept jumping lanes with no indication and cut me up quite badly several times.

I phoned his boss who did not seem particularly pleased to hear about the careless driving!

report him! Sooner or later s/he is going to cause an accident and possibly an injury to someone (if they haven't already!!):eek::eek:

Imagine if you, or a family member/friend happened to be the person in front......its not fair that people (usually in larger vehicles) try to intimidate other road users.:mad:

as someone whose brother was killed at 14 (many many years ago )
by a bad driver i would not hesitate to report him, the driver is the sort that puts other people at risk, but you have to do what you feel is right x

Can someone confirm if I have imagined this.

I seem to have a vague memory on a previous thread someone saying they had APG vouchers put onto a gift card at customer services.

Have I made this up or can anyone else remember this?

Is it even possible or against t&c's of the APG?

TIA.

I was on the last day of a large APG and passing an ASDA on my travels. Took the APG to the till and asked for it to go on a gift card and great kerfuffle happened! I said I'd done it before (true, but with other shopping) but they really didn't want to let me do it saying I had to do a shop. So I said I was in a rush and if they wouldn't do it, I'd just buy a cardi or something and then return it. Checkmate! They sent me to CS where the girl just did it, though I had to show her how to check the APG and to write on the receipt...

Report him! I was nearly pushed off the road on my bike by a bus once, had had trouble from the same one at the same time before so I reported him with the time and the registration number to the bus company and it has not happened since.

I came on here to say that I used my O2 free WHS voucher for a valentine card this morning and found the most wonderful amazing one, so well pleased.

Afternoon. I'm back to T, did a little bit of scanning (well, 4 items) and guess what appeared on an end of aisle right in front of me...... pentel sets!!! I've searched high and low for them (but admittedly not known that to look for, short of the £8 SEL :rotfl:). ha ha, all mixed up with normal £8 sets. Result for tiger :T

Anyway, 5 packs jumped into my basket.:D

I am feeling slightly sick, I don't know what possessed me to do it but my son had left a pack of his chow mien super noodles out and I kept looking at them ..well the looking turned into cooking them and eating them... Bluergh my belly is all a gurgle, that will teach me:rotfl:
Now trying to make myself feel better eating some ES flutes

ooh, did the SA input 12 x for it to work please?
Shame about the supernoodles though.. i buy for OH and on the rare occasion i eat them, i bloat afterwards.. TMI??! :rotfl::p

I have to say I'm in agreement with the others who say report this person....
calmly pick up the phone and explain the facts and tell them that you were concerned enough to take the number and registration...


in all honesty if they put a telephone number on a lorry...it can be used to promote the company but also by the public to tell them when its being driven erratically.....
That driver whilst behind the wheel is representing the company and should do so in a safe and legal manner!

Thanks to all of you giving me the push, i have just rang up, she said where abouts was it? so we can trace who it is, i said i can do better than that i have the number plate.
She said its totally unacceptable and they dont wish there drivers to drive like that , it will be dealt with when they get back and thanked me for calling.
I am still angry about it!

On another note free 5 day listing on ebay, dont know if its been mentioned
