Doris's friend.

Was an OK read but now so much is behind a PayWall it's disappointing.

Started going elsewhere to read the paywalled stories.

Stayed 2 nights at Merrie Gardens Sandown & any negatives are about Premier Inn & not the staff or cleanliness.

Positives.
Excellent intuitive & friendly staff.
Great poached eggs Chef.
Clean.
Handy for Sandown & Shanklin.
Great breakfast.

Negatives
Plenty of pointless Stonewall & rainbow rubbish.
Small evening menu as no attached pub.
Kids eat free is misleading as only breakfast is free & isn't clearly stated to highlight.

Signature lounge for £12.95 is hilarious, 1 hr on a ferry & not 8hrs on a jet. Monetisation of this is just desperate & you really have too much money if you see it as good value.

Dieing on its backside, most items are via Amazon or really dodgy sellers. Added to that constantly hassled for feedback on items I,ve not yet received as ordered the day before or items I,ve already given feedback on.

And "contact us" is all about avoiding you being able to contact them.

Adverts are ridiculously long now, they can poke it.

Evri, Hermes or whatever name they change to. The worst courier company there is which given how bad many are you have to be pretty bad to stand out.

Courier either took my parcel or left it on the doorstep, sender tells me to contact Evri, Evri tells me to contact sender after suggesting I check with neighbours etc.

My doorstep is not delivered. Ebay eventually refunded.

Just no interest in you at branches, 2 staff both dealing with footfall but counter closed as one if the two staff us also the cashier. Eventually 6 of us waiting & making the small branch congested so the counter was reopened.

We are not scum, we are customers who need service so provide it.

A bank that has truly lost it's way & forgotten its a bank. Simplistic thing managing our money & making some profit, off to another bank as not putting up with Natwest any longer.

Endless silly issues making my life difficult & now the environmental clap trap is not what banks are for & the FCA need to have a word.

One funny win, 7yrs ago a branch refused to print a transaction statement off as "saving paper" but could post one, for 7yrs Natwest has at their expense Sent a weekly statement rather than print one off that one day.

Good riddance to NatWest.

Overpriced considering buying power & huge trade warehouse in Winchester.

Quoted £179 each tyre by Eastleigh but Autotrade in Southampton quoted £144 each for an identical tyre.

Protyre have gone like British Gas, inflated profit margin by having big well placed retail units but people need to remember the small independent tyre fitters as so competitive.

Tyreland were such a reputable outfit but Protyre have sadly lost that respect over the last few years.

A channel that thinks it's clever & right on but is a predictable joke.

Balfour are absolutely screwing Southampton council by taking 500% longer or more to complete works across the city in comparison to private sector companies on private works.

Even with road closures the timescales are ridiculous & they know it, sites are covered in signage warning not to abuse staff as the public know they are dragging jobs out but Balfour don't want to admit to it.

Was sat in a pub Saturday & the table had a small TV screen built into the end showing Sky sports, I honestly could not believe how poor the female pundit next to Jamie Redknapp was.

Sky are doing the audience a huge disservice but even more they are not doing this and many more of the ladies any favours. Either find more quality or train this women as you likely do male ex players.

It's humiliation for them when that poor.

If someone could teach their drivers that pavements are for pedestrians & not their vans the world would be a better place, if the miracle was ever achieved only then could we try and get parcels given to customers when home rather than play knock door run.

I presume Indeed gets paid on a hit rate as more & more no matter what radius you choose from a Town or City you will get a few 'United Kingdom' or 'South East' jobs in the search which are often 100miles or much more away.

Seems simple enough to achieve given technology, they provide an option to select a radius but then plant distant jobs in which are not obvious until opened.


#### reference reply ###
Thanks for the tips, doesn't take away from when putting a city & 10mile radius you get jobs showing both UK & South East which both today were in Eastbourne & Suffolk when opened. One 100 miles away & the other near 200miles.

That needs sorting but generally Indeed is very good.

Record profits again on the back of branch closures & ever shrinking counter service when you eventually get to a counter.

Every branch has now closed around the city so the only one for 400,000 people is in the city centre & you have to pay to park & then join a huge queue.

Yet go into London and they have loads of branches including 2 on Bakers Street.

We get flyers saying they are here to help & listening, anyone believe that?

The cop out below about acting within the law is a gift to these companies, we are also trying to protect a vulnerable family member but we keep getting flyers with promotions & short dates to encourage immediate gambling.

Our Government has let society down, these companies are the wheel clampers of old & do not care what issues they cause as long as they profit.


To 7Days response...... doesn't happen as as read in other replies Data Protection is used to justify not stopping the letters etc etc.

Companies like this shouldn't exist, gambling is poison & generally like the lottery is used by the poorer of society who desperately want to change their lives but spend money they dont have.

I find Moneysupermarket as good & bad as the other one always in your face.

A worthwhile tool when chasing insurance etc.

Letting it self down, like many I,ve jumped ship from Radio 2 & expect adverts but the constant own advert promoting the premium service is just annoying.

Secondly for those that might go premium £3.99 a month for a radio show seems excessive, TV licence just over 2/3rds more but look what you get as in endless ad free radio stations & all the TV etc but appreciate it's pretty poor still.

GHR Radio can really be something but in danger of shooting itself in the foot.

Ordered through Ebay a white/wipe board, good product & very fast delivery. Can't fault them in my experience.

LW are great, I gave up with British Gas & ever rising 3 start cover after a £4k new boiler quote for an inferior boiler to my request.

LW Gas Ltd came & quoted £2k for the better boiler so I,ve never looked back, yes I now pay for my annual service but had one call out in 10 years so have saved well over £1500 as BG have now introduced excess & call out charges.

I recommend LW Gas & have directed family, friends & neighbours to them which I just wouldn't do if not confident.
