On behalf of my mother I tried to contact them on the 16th February to advise them of the change in circumstances. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a849.asp 849 I know there are some who just will not work. But is it right that skilled workers should be treated like cattle and sent out to large companies for a minimum wage, just so the government can keep unemployment figures down? http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a848.asp 848 These companies are so quick to go go with you on the good times and dance around with you when you make them tons of money, but when things are bad (recession?) that's when your employers turn on you. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a847.asp 847 Long ago, back in the 60s and 70s, you could go into a shoe shop and find something that was actually comfortable. A large number of them used to do shoes in half sizes. Nowadays, it's really hard to find shops that stock these. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a846.asp 846 I was a happy Sky customer for 18 months when I decided to move to new area and wanted to have my Sky moved with me to the new address.

Also why do modern houses have such poor sound insulation? http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a843.asp 843 Having fought for a long time too see my daughter but been denied access by my ex, I have recently received a letter requesting a paternity test and also now have an attachment of earnings. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a842.asp 842 How many times do you come across this? You are driving along the road and there is a person or even a group of people walking down the side of the road with their backs to the traffic flow. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a841.asp 841 Have you ever left a shop and realised you have paid full price for an item that is on offer and then returned the next day to be refused a refund? This is the scenario that happened to me recently at our local Tesco. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a840.asp 840
