Latest moan from you and me - 2016

For private work unrelated to my employment @pete

 

By the way, the chap in the Three shop today sorted it all out for us, and gave us £98 off, as well as us still getting the £100 in Amazon vouchers too. He very rapidly undid the damage done by the Indian online sales department, which is good as we have not had a single issue with Three in the years we have been with them

 

To be fair to them, we have been with pretty much every other mobile network over the years with the only exception being EE - I overheard enough arguments that colleagues were having with them about their shoddy service and billing problems that I wouldn't even consider them. Three have definitely been the best so far, and have even stuck to their promise to have our daughters phone capped to tariff so she cannot overspend; most mobile operators will tell you that they will do that, but fail to do it in reality.

I must admit, I proper had the hump after the nonsense online the other night, but then that is probably my fault for trying to be a smart git and get it done all online and save a visit to the shop.

 

Aye, very true. I use the internet for loads of things (we use Amazon a lot for example) but there are still cases where you cannot beat to go to a shop. The guys in the shop today were really good, and despite being busy took plenty of time to make sure we got what we needed and wanted; he even took time to talk to my daughter and shake her hand as we left, which was a nice touch - many shop staff will talk to the adults and ignore the kids, which only leads to them being even more bored when dragged out shopping.

I got to visit my favourite shop this afternoon too - needed some white emulsion, so popped round the corner to my local hardware shop. It is literally an Alladin's cave, and what they don't have they will try and get for you. They always recognise me when I go in, which is nice, but cold be a sign that I am in there too often........

 

Good morning Mrs Woo has just received her AA breakdown cover for next year it starts on 1st September it goes up every year,this year it is £234 15p per annum,and fortunately we have never had to use over the last 5 years,I 'm wandering must be able to get a better price somewhere,that's it for now thanks for reading this post

 

Hi @wiseowl - most definitely! That is a really hefty price.

Try the likes of Go Compare or Money Supermarket, as well as getting quotes from RAC and Green Flag. It is also worth speaking to you car insurance people as they often do breakdown insurance as a bolt-on that is competitively priced
