Random Irritations

My son has a Samsung Galaxy S10, and loves it.
However, the screen broke when he dropped it, replacement .................................................... £260!

Here's another irritation - again on phones, someone knowledgeable might be able to answer this. When I log into my O2 and look at upgrade options, let's say I want the A51 - they say I can upgrade to that for £31 a month for 36 months. But if I go to buymobiles.net that says I can upgrade to the A51, on O2, for £24 a month, for only 24 months, and the data is actually higher! Why such a massive difference??

That's why I use Tesco mobile. You pay for the phone over a contract length of your choice. When it's paid for your contract rate goes down and if I want to upgrade the phone early, I only have to pay what's left owing on the phone. And they use the O2 network.
And my Moto G7 power costs less than the Samsung replacement screen.

Always a frustration of mine, the company generates the tracking number and that is often done immediately on completion of the sale. What that does not mean is that the item is even packaged up, let alone sent. Understandably, Royal Mail is much slower at the moment. If it was sent first class then I would expect it to take 3-4 days from being received by Royal Mail, second class has taken anything up to 2 weeks. That said, if Royal Mail tracking says they do not have it then they do not have it as there is no middle man and it would log straight on their tracking system. Basically, Currys have not even sent it yet.

Yeah that is the case
Their Twitter claimed they had
Live chat said they hadn't
Gave a fobbed off I'm sorry for any inconvenience

Then I asked when will it be sent

You will be notified

Then just left the chat

Twitter asked me to keep the convo to private .. don't see why I should .. trying to avoid everyone knowing how bad they been ATM. Full of complaints today about same thing I've noticed

If you can't cope don't open.

Indeed. Snitches end up in ditches

Hey maybe we should force this over the line and demonstrate at our golf clubs? Showing full consideration to social distancing just to show it can be done. If bluddy football keeps on getting the headlines it's about time the R+A got their useless finger out and started putting some pressure on. Just what do we get from them anyway? In our hour of need where the hell are they?

Would have hated for this ‘fair and reasonable’ view to get lost some pages back.....this is the same person who wants to play all the top courses but expects a discount for the pleasure....

So what would you report? Shoplifting? Car theft? Assault? Manslaughter? Murder?

Where is the level at which you accept immoral behaviour?

Ah the classic golf rules riposte!?

Remember this.... Anne Frank was breaking the law hiding in the attic. The people that informed the authorities were following the law.?

The pondlife who was complaining about anyone coming within a mile of him in Tesco's this evening whilst wearing a mask that would have looked good on a motocross rider. Yet walked the wrong way down pretty much every aisle in the process.

I assume you politely pointed out the error of his ways in a calm and reasoned manner?

Sure did - told him I was a member at Royal Ascot GC and that my initials were MB if he wanted a fight any time.

You always were at the back of the pack when the trouble came down. Even further back when it was your round

Yes because that’s exactly the same.

You may not want to know that they were on watchdog tonight. Was only on in the background but looks like they may have sold out of stock items and not been too rapid on refunds.

Putting on my reading glasses and seeing tiny spider ants running across the lens right next to my eye. Its happened several times during lockdown

3rd set of flights cancelled 24hrs after booking. Definite case of selling a service that they have no intention to provide.

Shame I paid with vouchers. Only reason to shop there. Next time I'll stick to Amazon..questionable tax but least know how to treat customers

A Nikon D5000 that intermittently won't work in manual mode. This is the second time in recent weeks when I've manually adjusted the depth of field or the shutter speed but the shutter won't trigger. Tried it this morning, no problem.
