DHL! (aka 'Come back Royal Mail, all is forgiven')
DHL! I was supposed to have a parcel, should have actually been delivered yesterday, but I'll let that slide. This morning I heard the dog barking and saw the DHL van driving off.

Elementman.co.uk
The last time my cooker oven element stopped working, I paid nearly £100 for a service guy to put a new one in. The oven stopped heating up properly during the week. This time I took a look myself, found the element was only fixed in with 2 screws with 3 plugin wires for the current. I found this site…

The cheque was distinctly made out in the amount of XX.00 "only" and the amoun taken out was for XX.48 . Albeit not a huge difference, BUT…
