Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

I think they should be charged for 2 tickets. Might seem harsh, but I feel that we need the train companies to stop people doing this, and a punishment like this would be the solution that is most likely to work.

Related to this, another moan is people who sit in the Aisle seat, leaving the window seat empty, then grumble when a person asks to sit at the window seat (and yes, I have been known to ask them to move so I can sit down as a matter of principle).

I remember something similar with mother, the elderly woman opposite was pretty much unresponsive except for cries of pain and yet had loads of visitors at all times having loud long conversations over the bed with each other visitors completely ignoring the old woman, to top it all the fat lazy dollop of a daughter was using the old womans mobility scooter!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

Running late due to the wee one dilly-dallying and not feeling the need to rush, he is usually at school by now. I swear he is worse than a girl when it comes to doing his hair and the hair products that he uses.


Update that's him dropped off at school and we just made it in time thank goodness. It's one of my pet hates being late and people who are never on time.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

The price of a new combi boiler our old one stopped working on Monday and started to leak water all over the kitchen work surface tbh it has done it's job well as it has been in the house since we bought it, so goodness only knows what age it actually is (I reckon maybe 18 years old maybe more)

On a plus side I'm now getting a new combi condenser boiler and replacing the radiators and in the bathroom a chrome towel rail tbh I really hate the white one that is there atm. Roll on next Thursday although I have been told the work will take 1.5 days so while I can't wait for the new heating system I'm not looking forward to the upheaval.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

Yes it is a bit of a upheaval weenie as we know from having our new boiler put in a while back as boilers generally last for around 15 to 20 years dependant on factors so your old boiler has done pretty well in my opinion.

Yes boilers are not cheap as some can cost £3000 plus from what l hear.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

Our Vaillant one was just over 3 grand with the fitting although this was about 3 years ago or so. That didn't include radiators but did include decommissioning the old boiler and header tank in the roof.

Money well spent though, it's knocked the winter gas bills down a fair chunk and the old one was chewing through a new pump every few months.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

The boiler we are getting den is half that price thank goodness but it's the hidden extra's that seem to have bumped up the price a fair bit. Magnetic filter, drayton RF3 programmable room thermostat, radiators, towel rail and then the Labour/materials/system cleanse. I have never heard of a magnetic filter tbh and don't know if this add on is needed or not but hubby is happy with the price and the 7 year manufacturer's guarantee so that's all that matter's I suppose.

Yes the chap did say that we would notice a difference in our gas bills hopefully we will be the same as you Uncle P. We are just under the 4 grand as we are not renewing the kitchen or the two living room radiators as these were just replaced last May. I think we got a good deal compared to what British Gas quoted us they wanted over 5 grand which I thought was very expensive so we phoned around. I think we got a good deal because it's a family business and not a large firm.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

Good Luck with the upheaval Weenie, but it will be worth it, The magnetic filter is a blessing, I got one installed, but my neighbour never and eventually she had to get one as her radiators were not heating properly as they were clogged, I think it cost her a good amount of money,

I hope the councillor was of help nash & hopefully this will be a distant memory soon for you. I also hope that she has not returned with her brood and stays well away for the 28 day period then hopefully you will get a nice neighbour who respects other people's property.

I'm the same, I'd rather be early than late.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

So cross, I paid that debt off last month and they said they would cancel the DD and everything. They didn't, and took it again yesterday. Taking me 2p over my overdraft limit. I called the company, and they said they could either refund the money which takes 10 days or call my bank and claim the DD as an indemnity. Called the bank, they did it and now the money is back in my account. However, won't show until Tuesday morning.

Make sure you cancel the DD online or atleast check it is not setup still.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

I would do what SnoopZ has suggested asap.

Mark I did not think they are allowed to take a DD or Standing order out on a Saturday, what they may have done is reserved the payment this will show as a (pending payment) on your account.

I would also ask your bank if this company cancelled the DD then if they did not then I would phone the company and say you have now have confirmation from your bank that they in fact did not comply with what they said to you in cancelling the DD therefore this has now put you into financial hardship as you did not budget for a cancelled DD and why should you after all it was meant to be cancelled. If you get no joy with the company then I would request that they email you stating as to why the DD was not cancelled when they clearly stated to you on date xx/xx/2016 that it would be cancelled and if they would be so kind and attach a copy of their policy in regards to refunds in regards to this matter that you now find yourself in at no fault of your own and you find it extremely unfair that you are in this position due to their error. Ask them if they think it's fair that you are out of pocket due to their error!

Good Luck and hope you get it sorted soon, this link may of help Mark.
