Rat Rights (warning - a bit grim)
I am in a bit of a state. Over the last 2-3 years we've had a problem with rats which has got consistently worse.

Last year we caught 5 in humane traps and took them a…

Amazon Warehouse /Resale and guarantees
I've just bought a Samsung microwave from Amazon Resale. I know I have my distance selling rights and an Amazon guarantee but do I still have the 2 year Samsung guarantee?

Amazon Prime movies
A word of caution: movies 'purchased' on Amazon Prime and downloaded to your device can only be watched by using their app. Of course, you can always purchase their tablet.
