Gripe of the day - What is yours?

[Luckypants]

My gripe for today is me. Been so busy at work trying to multi-task that I've missed a couple of clearly stated answers to my problems in the manuals.


And also developers who have no idea of the impact a full systems test 'just for fun' has.

Just dumped BT broadband. Prices have steadily risen since I retired and they now expect £50 a month for unlimited fibre. Also they charge an additional £5 a month for caller-id.

I've signed up with Plusnet at £24 a month. Caller-id is£0.99 a month.

I've had to drop down a speed from 52mbs to 38 but I can live with that.

I also got £70 back from Topcashback.

Did that earlier on this afternoon. They have a complaints department (bit worrying on its own) but they said they only approve using someone else in exceptional circumstances. I pointed out my lack of earnings and they said they'd go and shout at Autoglass for me. Of course I have again heard nothing since... It will not be a surprise that I will be checking with other insurers before I take out a policy later in the year to make sure they do not lock in to one glass company like Admiral do. I get a good price usually on a multi-car policy from Admiral and this is my first glass claim in over 5 years but this is such a pi55 take I don't want to use them any more.

If it was Cameron Donald he is pretty qualified to talk about TT as he has been a winner in both the Superstock and the Superbike race, he can't be any worse than Boris Becker was commentating on Wimbledon...............

Why is Jodie Kidd in there ? fulfilling a quota, another tick in the equality box ? She is a nice enough person but hardly qualified to talk about TT.

Best get a stock in Sir Trev?

I've had my Zafira nearly 15 years, barely a chip, hard as nails

I've been had at least 5 fords with heated screens and never had one crack, even my current transit has a heated screen and I've done 30k miles since January 2016 and it's not even got a chip on it

BT say I can now get fibre broadband. I currently have a 350/20Mb service from Virgin.


What do BT offer me, If I buy their superfast 2 with an average download to others of 67Mb :- 6Mb. Are these people for real? When are they going to offer an affordable FTTP option for those who want a decent broadband service.

Autoglass update.

The useless idiots have had their delivery in stock it turns out for the last five days. Nobody called me to set a new appointment. Yet again I have had to call them. FIVE DAYS WASTED. Useless feckers!!!!

And of course I now have to wait another eight days until they can come and fit it...
