LesterRam Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 8 hours from Cornwall to Leicester, not only did I have to stop at every single service station between the two but the 40mph speed zones due to non existent road works is criminal, you can just imagine the workers "right then lads first things first, speed cameras, shall we dig up the road guv, no mate we need the public to pay for it first", can anybody find a road that has been relayed, redesigned or another lane added that doesn't have a speed camera on it?

McRamFan Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 People who walk into a supermarket, during a busy period, and just stop and then wonder why someone has either just missed or bumped into them. rhysbeck, Tony Le Mesmer and Norman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 This has probably been done, but it should be illegal to advertise something at one price if there are compulsory fees on top. Just ordered 7 match tickets advertised at 30 quid, but all seven had a 1.50 charge on top, and then a charge for postage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angieram Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Forget drivers who just sit in lane two; on the way back from the match yesterday on the upgraded M1 we now get four lanes so all the drivers that were in lane two now sit there in lane three. We waved to them from the inside lane as we passed - it was completely empty, of course! rhysbeck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are derby is just as bad, booking fees on top even if you do it yourself and print at home. I do understand that it might need separating in the transaction and thats fine, but quote it at the outset including the fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stuff money or a cheque in an envelope, at least real money doesnt expire. How many times you receive gift vouchers and read the small print (on the back) and they expire in 6 months, why? Its like ok take my money to force someone to spend at your business but only allow them so long? So if they dont quite in time then you just pocket the money and what do we get, just a bit of paper or a card...well thanks for that. I understand there has to maybe be some time limit, but make it like 3 years or something. I don't see why there should be any time limit at all. It's not like they were bought in a foreign currency. They've had their money. If you don't use the vouchers for a few years, it probably buys you a little less. It should be made illegal, it's certain immoral.

Another reason i wouldnt but vouchers now is if a business goes into administration, like comet for example, when they were still trading they refused to honour vouchers...dont see the point in them.

Finally got round to buying a top I liked in shop - 'sorry can only use it for tickets' No problem as we go to all away matches. Next away match in ticket office 'sorry you can only use it for home tickets'. No clear terms and conditions on the card. We are season ticket holders so only buy tickets for cup. I could have used it for EFL cup but too late now. Bought in March, it runs out next March so we better get a home FA cup draw or it's wasted. What a palaver! I'd be definitely kicking off about that. Get them to show you where the terms and conditions are on display, either at time of purchase or on the gift card. Your husband has every right to demand a full refund if he was mis-sold this gift card, and if it's not clear what the gift card can be spent on, that is mis-selling.

dog Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 As Halloween rapidly approaches and my front door becomes a target for small children to trick or treat at ( none of which is an issue) I wonder what the legal situation is for punching someone i dont know turning up to the door dressed up as a clown.

Rev Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Stupid ******** who block the entrance to petrol stations whilst queuing for a pump that's on the same side as their filler cap, not realising the hose is designed specifically to stretch around the far side of the average car!

I find it weird that as a nation we are supposed to be skint yet everyone seems to be driving round in brand new cars.
