Did you get your T&M order in last night DM, and did your APG come through? come on now, spill the beans.davemorton wrote: »From what i can remember, no one who is going to set the house on fire. Probably just turn into an embarrassment for the area if I am being honest.0 -
Got a parking ticket today:o
Nobody to blame but myself. I didn't see the signs that have just recently gone up.......at a local GP's surgery:o
I just want to make 2 points:-
1. The option is to pay £40 now or £70 later to Parking Eye. I think the better option should be to pay either £40 now to Parking Eye or £70 later to the NHS. The NHS would benefit, I would feel better and Parking Eye could stuff their ticket where the sun doesn't shine.
2.I wish it was as easy to catch the ignoramus who allows their dog to poop outside our gate every morning:mad:

Okay, while it is so quiet, a question for the elite....
I took out Virgin Holiday Insurance after being sent an email from them advertising £25 cash back. As far as I can see on the T&C, I met the criteria for the cashback. Main criteria was you had to have a Virgin Credit card that I do.
So.....cashback never arrived, so I call them up, complain, and they say that it was rejected as I was never offered that promotion, so I say I still have the email they sent me. The then say it is up to the 3rd party administrating the offer, and put me over to them. I call the third party promotions company up, they say the will investigate. They promised they would get back to me, and never have.
Now as far as I can see it, Virgin have the responsibility, not this 3rd party promotion company. I know its only £25, but they have really pee'ed me off. I was thinking about putting a FOS complaint in, if only because that will cost them more than the £25 either way.
Thoughts/advice please.“Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?”

really happy with the basil:T
Chopped half of it up and popped it straight in the a huge pan of bolognaise sauce.
Makes all the difference:)
And no, I didn't put in white wine and cream:rotfl:
Mr TS got a recipe from one of our italian cookbooks for a ragu with white wine and cream and it was in fact delicious honestly.
I just googled to see if I could find the recipe and found this telepgraph article and it mentions someone has tweeted a pic of a recipe in a book, the one we have although ours is a bit cleaner than the one in the pic but we have had it since we were first together before we even got married. :rotfl:

You need to read up on the forum for fines for parking charges. It used to be ok to ignore these fines as they cannot enforce them but I think this has changed. Well done on the whoopsies. I haven't done very well with them this week. Have you finished all the sipp reading?0 -

Did you get back to Virgin and explain that the promotions company were ignoring you?
Is is worth an email/ letter outlining what you intend to do if they continue to ignore you.
