Post Office Credit Card Customer Services are clueless

I'm sick of being messed around. Seriously. I mean, what the hell did I do to have every company I talk to feed me bullshit lines over and over? This time, its the Post Office Credit Card and their god awful customer services who, I'm now convinced, don't know their arse from their elbow...Read the full article

The Fitness First debacle part III – So now you *don't* want my money?!

Its remarkable - 2 months ago they were caught illegally dipping their fingers into my bank account to try and get my money - now I'm offering it to them, they don't want to know!

Once that was done, like a good boy, I rung them to let them know I had cancelled it and gave my reasons why, and they were fine with that...Read the full article

Microsoft Outlook… and I'm done

For years I've been an Outlook user but today I'm done. I can't take it anymore. I use Thundbird at work - I'm on ubuntu so it was an inevitability. But my home PCs have always been dominated by MS Office, so Outlook was always the client of choice...Read the full article
