Hi All Went to park on this car park on Greyfriars, as I normally do when I go to the gym and was stopped by one of the workman. He pointed out that on the new car park signs that even though you get 2 hrs free parking (which is all I actually read) you can't actually leave the car park ie You...

I'm asking this cos I popped into Tesco at lunchtime to return one out two cheese selections that I bought a couple of days ago. We'd previously opened the other one and we thought it was pretty tasteless so I thought I'd return the second one for a refund. I was told that I couldn't return it...

Just a warning to anybody buying fruit & veg (or anything that has to be weighed at the checkout) at Tescos on the Newport Road near the station. I bought 2 bags of grapes and they tried to charge me over £12. When I went to Customer Service they said 'oh yeh, the girls are having trouble with...

Hi We've got a wasp's nest which appears to be underground in the far corner of the garden. It's not really accessible as it's got bushes etc in front of it. It's not really bothered us and we've left them to it all summer. (We reckon they've got to live somewhere) However, we don't really...
