What A Bunch of Careless, Self-important Bastards…

http://notnownancy.wordpress.com/2011/08/15/stupidmarkets/
Have a wonder over to the site I’ve linked to above. Sounds like Tesco have a little tyrant on security, who thinks publicly denigrating an innocent woman and intimidating her children is acceptable.
Come on Tesco, can can do better, and in this case, my opinion is you’re morally obligated to. You violated this woman over…

There are lots of Great Places to Eat in Weston…

Overpriced, crap food, served carelessly at Marston's Old Colon

…but The Old Colonial is not one of them. And if my experience there a short while ago is anything to go by, it’s best avoided at all costs. Today was so pathetic, I can’t help but think of it as “The Old Colon”. Yes, The Old Colon fits it nicely. A tired and unpleasant…

性交顧客 – Is Japanese for “Fuck the Customer”

Aparently, Mitsubishi don't want to say anything.

Making the Culture Of Compaint a Good Thing

What’s Japanese For “Customer Fucked” then Mitsubishi?

This morning, I met another innocent consumer who’s had the rough end of the stick when trying to get some service after a purchase.
I’m sure you can imagine how this peaked my interest! Anyway, after dropping my girl off at work, I went round and found out a little more about the story. It seems…

Your Shipment of FAIL has Arrived at Maplin

I got partially turned over at Maplin today. I went in for a browse in their Bristol Cribbs Causeway store, and made an impulse purchase. I bought one of these… LINKY . I went out to the car to try them out on my Android phone. They didn’t work, the playback was missing half the stereo image and you couldn’t hear the vocals properly.

Not to worry thought I, just take it back in the store and they’ll sort it. Aparently, no they won’t. once you open the box on a in ear product, that’s it they won’t take it back or refund it due to “health and safety” reasons. The fact it doesn’t work with Andorid phones and nowhere in the store or on the box is that mentioned has noting to do with it.

The Ubuntu Banshee Thing

Sometimes it takes a few days consideration before you can reach a considered opinion on an issue. So it has been with me on Canonical’s move to secure some of the funding coming from the online music sales resulting from Banshee distribution. In essence, what I want to say is that I think that although…

Why Google Checkout Sucks. (And PCBuyIT aren’t much better)

I’m peeved. I saved up some money so that I could treat myself to something nice during the week I took a week off. I finally decided to get an Archos 5 ( http://www.archos.com/products/imt/archos_5it/hdmulti.html ) Expansive, but then I work for it!
I placed an order with a company called PCBuyIT ( http://www.pcbuyit.co.uk ). They had…

January 2nd – Tell me again, what is it you buy?

The problem with advertising isn’t just the ethics of what they’re selling and to whom. It’s also what they to the viewers environment during the process. That and how they treat and portray their viewers. The adverts for “webuyanycar.com” are one of the best examples of this.
I have absolutely no idea whether what is being…

January 1st – Shake and Bleeding Vac

We know that big corporate concerns have got out of control, and aren’t very good for us. We know that we have chosen to live this way. Maybe not as individuals, but as a society as a whole. What I think many people question, is why do we let the big corporations do so much…
