I wanted to use a British word other than 'trivial complaint' as that sounds stupid. But it's not considered 'appropriate' nowadays even though it's a legit word.
Anyway...

I signed up to the Money Saving Club WhatsApp group and they send daily messages to try to save people money.

It quotes Martin's page many times but I don't actually know if it's actually FROM MSE though.

So, 1, can anyone let me know if this is MSE based please.

And 2, if it is MSE based PLEASE can it stop using links that MAKE you use unwanted cookies or else PAY for the privilege of viewing the money saving tip!
That's hardly a saving!!

If it's not from MSE I will be unsubbing as it's a bit useless as I can't view the links unless I pay or allow all the 'harvesting' cookies!

    I'm not aware of any MSE WhatsApp group affiliated with this site? 

    Sounds dodgy to me.

    What on earth does this mean?

    Well ThesaurusPlus says 
    What is another word for Trivial complaint? · niggle · quibble · grumble · grouse · cavil · moan · criticism · gripe.

    It's clearly that the term "grouse", meaning "complaint", is offensive to game birds of the Order Galliformes who may not be whingey at all.

    Trivial Complaint was the unsuccessful follow-up to Trivial Pursuit
