Admiral car insurance - liars and and double dealers.
My car was hit by an Admiral policy holder while it was parked outside my house. Their car became entangled in my rear bumper and they had no choice but to knock at my door and admit fault.

onlinecarparts.co.uk using Evri for scam?
I foolishly ordered some expensive (£460) car parts from onlinecarparts.co.uk (actually a German company AKA AUTODOC AG) on 20 March. AUTODOC charged my card (unfortunately not a credit card) on 26 March, and soon after showed the parts as 'delivered' on their website with a tracking number I tracked down to Evri. The Evri…

Feeling ripped off by Amazon
Evening. I'm feeling rather ripped off by Amazon and, after a long time trying to work out what went wrong, I appreciate it might have been avoidable and hope to prevent others from making the same mistake. My young son is in hospital and I decided to buy him a Lego crane that he's had his eye on. Amazon's price was £45,…

Behind my back fence there's a piece of land that's been covered in brambles for years and people keep throwing their rubbish there and it's causing rats but the council / housing association never cleans it up so I've decided to clean it up but who should remove the rubbish.

Leaky Tassimo
We have a Tassimo machine which are rather like but recently the edge has gone off it. It has always worked fine but some point last year we had some hot chocolate pods that spilled hot chocolate everywhere. That was annoying, but once we identified it was only the hot chocolate and then that batch of pods was used up,…
