RE: Electric guitars from £25 + delivery

I and I think a few other others have bought cheap guitars from ebuyer before, there alright, take a little bit of setting up and some new strings and away you go ! :D

I got 2 electrics from them and TBH they are real bargains, don`t get me wrong your not getting a £500 fender for £30-50 but there not that different from the cheap one`s that the local music shop knock out for about £100.

RE: London Congestion charge ...........

Come on..
Van`s aren`t that dear.

£6000 is a lot of money in my book for a new van that I don`t want.

I can`t find prices for the new Nemo, but a Berlingo can be had from £5995.

A Berlingo for example is far to small for me , I not only carry tools and such but materials which include doors and 8x4 sheets.

I don`t claim to have all the answers, but I`m offering ideas

I`m not saying you have all the answers and thanks for idea`s but it`s a still and absolute joke of £25 to drive into the city for a day !
I`m not trying to fall out with you/anyone over this but how can they justify this new charge when £8 was £7 to much.

The price of fuel is sky high , there`s nothing that we can do to change that , I recycle my waste,I never leave nothing on stand by, turn lights off when not needed, don`t leave the tap running when cleaning my teeth and so on, I feel that I do my bit.

I could understand people`s frustrations if alternative cars/vans weren`t available, but they are.

RE: London Congestion charge ...........

£25 to drive into London, What a joke ! >:(

I live 20 miles away from the city and very rarely go into London these days to work.

I`m a self employed Carpenter and need a van full of tools to carry out my work so a train is not an option.

I once forgot to pay my CC charge and got stung £40 , I also accidentally paid the charge twice for the same day and was told that their not set up to give refunds ....... Nice!

What other bill/charge that you have to pay doubles if not paid by 10pm on the same day then gives you a 2 hour window and if not paid then goes up to £50/100.

I do agree with doing are best to help the environment and all that but I think this is tacking the p***.

RE: Hay fever time !!!

What I find strange about it is, we were lived in fields and that long before we had houses and cars so how can we be allergic to pollen ....

The only thing I can put it down to is that we don`t eat enough local produce , turn the clock back a few decades and we would grown all are own vegetables instead of popping down the supermarket and buying runner beans produced in Kenya !

I can remember as a kid lying awake in my bedroom while all the other kids were out playing with my eyes itching like crazy and my nose streaming snot like a tap .

I used to take a Medicine called Finnegan I think and that used to knock me out !
When I was a bit older I used to get a jab in the top of my butt called Kenelog , the needle on this bad boy was massive .......but lasted all summer but being a steroid it can`t be good for you.

I thought to myself homoeopathy ... flower remedies .... got to be the one ... didn`t do it for me !

Hay fever time !!!

Been getting for a couple of weeks now and my nose is red and very sore to touch, how can I be allergic to the summer ???

I`ve had it since I was a wee ladie and every year its the same.
Every year I tell myself that I must get on the local honey but never get around to getting some .

Anybody else get it ?

RE: New Plasma! had to tell someone!

I just a bought a new plasma Samsung , as my old one Fujitsu set packed up !

I was watching the fuji set and the colours just went ,like if you`d messed around with the scart lead , I sure its not the tube/gas as it still turns on and is fine for about 5mins then the colours just wash out again ... any ideas on this as i do plan to get it repaired one day .

Thanks

RE: Trading standards !!!

Just took this from the trading standards website !

If the seller is in business (rather than a private seller), he may have committed a criminal offence if he:

sells goods which are unsafe;
has given a false description to the goods i.e. a car sold with incorrect mileage (clocked car);
gives a false description to the services he is providing e.g. falsely claiming to be a member of a trade association;
advertises a misleading price;
displays a sign which states `No Refunds`.
If you feel that any of the above could apply, you should report the matter to your local Trading Standards Service before you return to the trader.

I would say that it was misleading price as they claim to be 10% cheaper then before but they`re 10-11% more expensive !

Any how I won`t use again !!!

Thanks for the input folks ! :D

Trading standards !!!

On Wednesday night I popped into my local electrical store (Tower) and liked the look of a Samsung PS42EHDX which was £799 .

After doing a bit of home work I decided to go and buy it today :D
Didn`t know before hand that they were doing a 10% off everything day today .... but the price of the TV had gone up to £889 .....??????? :/
I said to sales assistant that it was only £799 on Wednesday he replied with perhaps its gone up so as to cover are selves !!!!! WTF .

They`re having 10% day and they`ve raised the prices by over 10%.

My question is can they do this or is it against trading standards ????

Thanks

Plasma tv troubles ??

Anybody know anything about plasma`s ?? :/

Switched on my Fujitsu this afternoon and the colours have gone a bit strange , its as if your watching a dodgy pirate dvd, I`ve also noticed that if I try to switch from s-video to video theres no white writing in the boxes .
I`ve check my skybox and tried the dvd player and its the same with on both ,so its not any of them .
I left it off for a few hours tried it again and it lasted about 5 mins before it messed up again >:(

Now I`m wondering if I should have it looked at which will cost £80 before parts and labour or just right it off and some how try and buy a new one .

Its 3 years old and out of warranty .

Thanks in advance

Ordered one online !!!

Hoping this will work for me as my TV (plasma) has no scart inputs , I was hoping to hook up all my bits and then feed the plasma via s-video !!

Thanks again to the OP

RE: Argos Sale - Creative Zen 20Gb MP3 Player £110

Plucking a straws her folks but ..... My Mrs Zen looks like it right up the spout now , when you turn it on you get a scrambled screen >:(

Its never been dropped , in fact she`s only used it a half a dozen times and its been nothing but grief (freezes, locks ) , it still under warranty as its 4 months old but I can`t find the receipt or the box , by the looks of things Argos will want some form of proof of purchase but I paid cash for it :(

I know its a long shot but has any of you friendly people got a receipt which could be copied/scanned and sent to me some how so I take it back ??

If so you`d be doing me a great turn !!! :D

Thanks in advance
