    Redbush Tea is great!

    I get less headaches and sleep miles better.

  • Hello!
    I think it has quite a sedative effect. If I drink it in the afternoon or evening I can go straight to sleep.
    Probably not too good if I'm driving!

    Me too - I *wish* I liked it, but I don't. I have one strong cup of coffee a day, and the rest of the time weakish tea. Should drink more water. Bad KC!

    Hmmm. I'll not be invited round then, as I'm afraid I cannot drink tea even to be polite...

    I feel rusbbish after being so unhealthy so have cut out bread and trying to juice more. I keep forgetting to drink water, surely its not that difficult!

    We had this issue SHS,no one knows what they are talking about. Initially I was told it would be sent, the I needed to claim so they sent me a form. Each time advised to wait 3-4 weeks. Each time it didn't arrive I rang back and they claimed to chase it up and again advised waiting another 4 weeks! They then told me I was out of claim period and also kept changing their mind about what card I was enititled to

    How did it finally arrive? I raised it as a complaint and told them I wasn't closing the complaint until it arrived. It turned up! Was for £75 instead of £100 but I was just glad to see the back of it! I can't wait to leave them next week, definitely hasn't worked out cheaper being with them.

    Keep at them, get your card then plan your escape!!

  • Nothing doing, Alex. Rien.

    Cath I think ofcom or whatever is the way to go.

    Genius customer service though isn't it?
