    Letter now received from Virgin Media, a £4.99 per month rise in February :eek:. This is on top of £6.90 rise since February this year on a £40 bill :(.

    I'm joining the ranks of those who have been ripped off by ASDA voiding and retaining APGs. It was a member of staff who put it through and they never said there was a problem. However, after paying I checked my receipt and it had been voided off. I went straight to CS but it was 9.55 and she said 'too late, I have no money in the till' before I even opened my mouth. She then insisted there was not a problem and wasn't budging. Grrr!


    If you paid via card, do a chargeback.

    Oops politics


    Not sure locking down Brussels is a good thing.


    Won't save lives if the morons set off bombs etc. They'll just shift the occasions.


    Just giving in & wasting quality schooling time.

    My idiot of a brother in law has returned home safely thankfully.

    Looks like this wins out again, as Cotton Tree Petroleum Jelly at £1 in M (I found no stock, just a SEL) is 226g.

    Healthpoint Pure Petroleum Jelly (375g)

    Yes.I was nearly done the other day.


    I went to self service.Got the sa to put my 2 apgs through and it said I owed 27p so i paid then the till said I owed £5.46 so I called the sa back and she said I can't do anything about that.I said can't you call a supervisor.She said I am a supervisor.

    I said well give me my 27p back.She said what 27p.I said what I have just paid.So I said what about the apgs and receipts.So I made her open the box for my apgs and dig my screwed up receipts out of the bin.I then gathered up my shopping and went to a manned till.

    So much for keeping a low profile:rotfl:
