SCS, and no, not for the fact they always have a sale on
I bought a chair from them. I very nice wingback chair for me, nothing special in that but I have just got an email from them saying if I leave a review on Trust pilot now they will enter me into a draw to win the item I have bought.
Bearing in mind that I have yet to receive the chair and it could come broken, damaged, late or whatever and of course the actual shop experience is obviously pretty slick do you think this amounts to coercion into leaving good ratings on trust pilot?
I'm about 3 rums away from e-mailing trust pilot and asking if they are aware of practices like this.
I am tempted to leave a shitty review but then my chair might come broken or late.
Should I stop being a grumpy old fart. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

Gappy!
Worst of it is ... a 99 Flake is what caused it to go. Arse.
Wobbled itself about over the ensuing 2 hours whilst I was visiting with one of my buddies ... and it finally fell out with my first mouthful of spicy chicken wings the minute I got home.
Not smiling till its fixed.

I lost a crown eating a small type of galaxy bar, like a ripple in shape. Not a toffee or a chewy sweet. It's still in my wallet.
I've knocked my front teeth out then the crowns out through various mishaps over the years. One dentist wanted to fit gold ones, and charge me extra for natural colours, but I wouldn't pay, and he fitted the natural colours and not the gold ones anyway. I was slightly disappointed |
Finally got around to seeing dentist today, made an appointment same day, fixed my crown back in, cost under £40. Said it might be time to consider a white filling as it keeps happening.
I protested that it doesn't. (My front ones, yes, they are always getting knocked out, but not this back one) He showed me my dental records and the three times he's fixed it already. I literally have no memory of two of them. |

Went to Canary wharf today, first time in a week or so, delivering to number one Canada Square, I got a bit of a shock because the motorcycle parking bays have gone and the pedestrian crossing had been moved back a few feet. WHAT? when did that happen?
Oh and I got another puncture, a screw but it's gone in straight so plugging should be a piece of piss. A job for the weekend. |

Chinese Ebay scammers punting out faulty, returned items, over and over again.
I'm getting fed up of things arriving, pretending they're in the UK, but arrive days late with a Chinese international post label, then are clear faulty returns being punted out again and again.
The latest item were ear pods which had clearly been returned before as the had someone else's earwax on them. They are very difficult to get them to pair with each other. In around ten attempts, they paired twice. Once paired with each other, they then aren't visible to either my phone or laptop. The seller offers a refund when you post them back.
I'm guessing the scam is that these faulty items are sold on the hope that some people wont bother to return them as they're generally low value items. If they are returned, the seller loses out on about £1 in postage and just punts them out again. Do it enough times and you're constantly in credit, just for punting out faulty shit, which should otherwise be in the bin.

Not me personally, but I've got a mate who's been waiting 16 hours now, for RAC to recover him, his wife and a mate, with their van and caravan from a services on the M4 to back home in Essex.
The Police moved them from the motorway to the services, so aparently they're no longer a priority. 16 fecking hours! They broke down last night before 11PM and are still waiting for recovery at 3PM the next day. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

Is that because they have a caravan? They can have a kip while they are waiting or make a cuppa.
Oh, van and caravan, Essex pikeys |
Club racers coming back from Bemsee at Pembrey in Wales.
I broke down twice bringing my old Shogun with race bike, spares etc in, plus caravan home from race meetings. In both cases my Autoaid breakdown cover had someone there within a couple of hours to tow me home.
Approaching 18 hours is taking the piss. They were covered for van and caravan and it's a very expensive RAC policy due to him taking van and trailer over to France on a regular basis, when he buys loads of 125 2 strokes to bring back and sell for his company. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

I haven't seen one flying around so far. Not all summer, that I remember. I thought that the long dry spell might have done for their larvae. |
Wasps seem pretty rare this year as well, despite the hot summer - same thing perhaps?
