This follows a particularly unnecessary and farcical episode on their notoriously inaccessible telephone system. Let me expand... http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a586.asp TalkTalk seem to be a company that employ salesmen who pressurise elderly, vulnerable people into signing up for services they neither understand nor are able to use. My mum for example ended up on a tariff she never agreed to! http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a585.asp Everybody seems to be moaning about the prices of petrol these days and why not? Especially as Shell and BP have just announced profits of over 7 billion pounds between them in the first three months of the year. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a584.asp Has anyone been in this situation and if so can you give me some guidance? At first this was a dream come true and I love playing in this band, but these groupies are persistent and they are making life difficult for me. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a583.asp Prisons have become a soft option from what I understand. They are more like cushy hotels than a place a place of punishment or rehabilitation. Why do they have satellite television and games consoles for goodness sake? http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a582.asp My ex and I had been together for approximately five years before it all went wrong and things ended up the way they are now. My life is crumbling before me and any advice would be welcome. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a581.asp Quite frankly local councils take the biscuit but apparently not the rubbish these days. I've just read an article in the news about a guy who now has a criminal record - for overfilling his wheelie bin! http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a580.asp We have just come back from staying in Las Vegas for a week. My main gripe is that horrendous Green Card we all have to fill in before landing in the US. Are they really paranoid or what? http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a579.asp My son owns a motorbike and we allow him to take it out to ride on private land nearby. However, he is being victimised by a police officer with a grudge against our family. It's so unfair and unjust. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a578.asp Having just come back from New Zealand where wine in restaurants is commonly priced at 50% above the retail price (up to 100% in smarter establishments), I realise that we are being ripped off in Britain. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a577.asp
