Au contraire mon capitaine... Think about how Scotland is run... Now, condense that in to a microcosm like Fife!
id still say compared to HC they would be a breeze, its been ind for the last 20 years, and most of the councilors change every time they have an election after all being proven corrupt and incompetent

I feel your pain. We bought 2 first class tickets from a ticket machine @ Piccadilly station, going from Manchester to Scunthorpe early Dec. It was a nightmare journey, even being asked to leave the train early and board the following train allowing the first train to make up time. Arrived around 2hrs late. Logged on to reclaim the full fare, £120, as per their T&C’s only to be told I’d logged onto the wrong provider. Logged into the provider they indicated in their email, and waited and waited.
Received notification that I’d logged into the wrong provider, again. Logged into a 3rd provider only to be told I was outside the 30 day limit for refunds.

Not as bad as my neighbour. He was having problems with his drains after having builders in. Dynorod fished out a 15 inch long heavy duty screwdriver from the drain.

If you think beating up a 60 year old bloke is proving yourself....

Parish Councils do not have that restriction so the Parish Precept on the Council Tax bill may well be higher than 5% extra.

I just wish no one showed any interest & then he’d disappear.
Either that or throw him in the ring with Canelo.

Cornettos with chewy rather than crispy cones - hate that.

Sky, specifically Sky Mobile. Had a bill last month for a £96 call to Tunisia on my dad's sim that is on my account.
My dad was in hospital at the time and vaguely remembers a strange number calling him and he must have accidentally hit the call back on his phone (I know how easy it is on an iPhone to accidentally press the screen on the number). The time of the call, an hour in duration, would have run past lights out in the ward if he'd been on the phone.
Explained all this to Sky, their response to an 80 year old that was in hospital... "Tough, you made the call!". No leeway, no discussion. I've had to pay the bill as my dad can't afford that.
So I've just cancelled all of our services with them. Mobiles (x3), TV contract (x2) and insurances. Someone had the cheek to call me within an hour of cancelling to ask why I was cancelling. They've lost an account that I've had with them since 1997 when I started working for them. Absolute scum for taking that stance with any elderly person, regardless of it being my dad.

That's unbelievable! You'd think that they would offer a gesture of goodwill.
Their loss though!

Expect a few more calls in the next 30days to offer you better deals.
You do right by the way

Just poor customer service. But for offering even £30 they have lost the best part of £300 a month across all the services that I’ve cancelled.

Oh I totally expect it but they will get the full hairdryer when they do as it will be obvious they haven’t read the notes.
