Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Turning up at a supermarket you’ve not used before to find you need a £1 cointo unlock a trolley - and the supermarket won’t change a note in order to obtain said coin.

That's a good way to lose a customer, FDNB.

Maybe find the shortest line of linked trolleys and take them for a walk around the shopping aisles. It might cause the supermarket to reappraise their policy in the ensuing chaos!

Last time I turned up at a local supermarket without a trolley token I mentioned it at the checkout (having used two baskets and bought less) and the lass told me I should just have asked at Customer Services for someone to unlock a trolley for me.

Nice idea but the last one in the chain is attached to the trolley park.

We did say we wanted change for a trolley and they didn’t offer to unlock one :(

I was going to use one of the trollies inside that are supposed to be for people using wheelchairs, but Mr F rolled his eyes and declared it would be easier for him just to carry it. Not my definition of “easier” when we went in for a couple of bags of compost but yeah, whatever.

Here in NL they'll usually give you a plastic 'munt' the right size to unlock a trolley if you ask at the customer service kassa.

I booked a flight for me an my wife which is a surprise for her and the confirmation email got sent to her instead of me.

Although I can see ways to change most things on the booking, there is no way to amend this.

The online help just links to FAQ and doesn't have a chat function. There is no telephone number or email address to contact.

mid-sized disaster, that, Dio.

Are you going to tell her it's a fraudster?

[I warned her DO NOT OPEN and delete immediately an email from Vueling, which she did. I thought she might think it was a virus or scam, but, when from the booking confirmation on the web page I forwarded the email to myself, it came from Vueling Airways, so she might have a clue]
