Right all caught up now, off to the salt mine again.

I think as the conversation has drifted again we need either a massive glitch to get us back on track

Or as this is Monday and its not likely to happen until the Tuesday/Wednesday change over we need pages of photos of dogs, cats, holiday places and peculiar looking plants or birds that need identifying :rotfl:

Ooo, excellent, I love a good debate, and just in time for the school holidays when people suddenly loose the balls to post under their usual forum names.

My take on benefits, if anyones interested.

I think they do need massive changes, there are people who have no intention of ever 'working' for a living because they have it easy on benefits. For some, it is all they have known, we are now on the third generation of homes where no one has worked in this area, ever since the majority of heavy industry were closed down.
Children have seen their parents and grandparents live a reasonable life without having to work, so why should they? This needs to change. For those that can work, they should be made to do a few hours a day if they want state hand-outs. Perhaps doing jobs that make life a little nicer for all those that do work.
I believe rents should be paid straight to the landlord, and vouchers for food be given, and be none transferable. There was a person on my local selling page last week selling milk vouchers, this needs stopping.
On the flip side, I also think the transition onto benefits for those that have fell on hard times needs changing, perhaps a percentage of their average earnings, being reduced on a sliding scale over a year or so, so that they can adjust to the reduced income a little easier, and after all, if they have paid a lot more into the system, they deserve a little more out of it.
Make it so that working people get preference for medical appointments at certain times (controversial perhaps) as if people dont work, they can go at the times when there is less demand.
I dont think there is any reason why someone who is lucky enough to be fit and health not to find work. But people dont like doing certain jobs, hence the influx of people from other countries, doing the jobs people here will not do. These people are willing to graft, and graft hard.

I remember once listing to a 17 year old who had her life all planned out. She was going to finish college, have a baby so she could get a house, then have another child. No intention of ever working, this is the mindset we need to change.

The voice of reason .

Has it definitly gone or is just on hold. If gone and it was me I would ring as it takes several days to get a refund back to your account. Thats a lot of money to lose.

On another note, still no Walkers vouchers since a week last Saturday I think.

I haven't got any vouchers today either - waiting for 8 and I can only find confirmation emails and codes for 4 of those so I don't know how I will get on chasing those up. I know lots of people have done really well out of this but its a bit naughty of Walkers to faff about now - we complied with the promotion t&c's (well, mostly!) and we should get the vouchers or different vouchers for the same value (and not ones to be used only on crisps - I don't think I could face buying masses more).

nope, definitely gone:eek:

Same thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago. Items were subbed but I was charged full price for the substitution rather than the low price of the original, making £25 difference

I rang and explained and had no problem, refund was processed straight away and was back in my account within 3 days

Had a bit of a :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: when checking my bank this morning. Sadas have taken the full online order amount of 95.00:eek: for a shop of udis/baxters that actually cost about 30.00. Do I need to ring them or will I be refunded? I know this has happened before to people but never to me! Got a Panic on :rotfl:

Thanks

I just checked my bank account and they've done the same to me ! £58.xxx taken for shopping which came in at £26.19 after offers etc. They have NEVER done that to me before - its always been the lower, actual cost that has been taken. My bank told me that if they take too much their Disputes Team will help sort it out - but, like others, I don't want to get into too much hassle and risk a suspended account !
