Staffordia, I agree, its very surprising that the rate on Trustpilot is so low.  And the staff member, as you say, was very polite.  He seemed to be helpful too, but he hasn't phoned back yet as he said he would, so we'll see.

I suspect some of the reasons for the low Trustpilot rating is how many of us would think to write a review for our bank or building society unless we had a problem.

I hope your sister's health issues allow her to accompany you to the county show.

Rhubarb Hummus sounds intriguing! I've heard of sweet potato hummus but not Rhubarb

Well, that's true actually, you're right!  A message from them turned up in my Junk file, I logged on to be shown an error message - and bear in mind my fixed rate ISA is still with them, oodles of money.  So I phoned, and got the same poor guy (makes me wonder how big their phone department is, unless it recognised my number and funnelled me to him).  Clearing my cookies sorted it.  Message is telling me that they refused my account after they'd accepted it initially 🤣 there's a couple of really big communication errors in what they're doing.  He says he's compiling a complaint for me, and forwarding it onward.  When this is all finished - and I *do* believe it will be finished one day 🤣 I too will write on Trustpilot, and I'll make sure I give kudos to this guy, because he really has ended up working hard for me.

I hope your sister's health issues allow her to accompany you to the county show.

Thank you so much.  I hope so too.  Tests say nothing life-threatening is there, but there's still a problem.

It's just a mix of rhubarb, onion, chickpeas and herbs and spices, with oil and vinegar. Erm, I put some water in, I got scared 🤣 it hasn't gone well 🤣

Oh I'm so sorry to hear about your sister KC - sending love from both of us xxx

Sorry to hear about your sister. Sending love

Thank you both - she looks fine, we're ploughing on regardless.  And we *did* get to the county show yesterday - there were bees involved, and spinning, and medieval re-enactors, which partly involved different ways of sewing and how to make a buttonhole with a "stiletto", which was very far from what we think of 🤣

Utterly shattered after that, I actually went to bed at 6pm 👀👀👀 though I got up at 9 for a few hours.  Feel better today, but a quiet one, methinks.

Wonderful to hear you both went!

Bed after an adventure is the best place to be!

Glad that you had a good day.
