  • I remained calm, assertive, and most important of all...professional.

    I was in Farm Foods frozen food store a few minutes ago and went up to the till to pay for some frozen fish fillets. Although the price of £1 was written in large lettering on the box, the assistant tried to charge me £1.25 because that's what came up on the till when he scanned the box. I told him that the price was only £1 and explained to him that the relevant consumer protection legislation staes that you can't overcharge people. Anyhow, I knew my rights and insisted that he call for the manageress; she was very polite, confirmed everything I said and only charged me £1.

    By the way, I've used the word 'professional' in the title because although I'm unemployed, I consider myself to be a professional consumer champion - or, if you prefer, complainer.

  • BBC News 24

    I've just been watching BBC News 24 and there were six programme trailers or promotional videos shown before the six o'clock news headlines. Why can't commercial advertisements be shown at this time and generate a bit of money so that the cost of the licence fee can be reduced?
