We use Premier all the time and this is the first this has happened, Might just stick to Travel Lodge ,

Thankfully every time we have used PI everything has been fine.

Normally you get a full refund if you cancel but not on the Saver bookings which to be fair is understandable.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

We know that when we book, it is just unlucky if something else causes us to cancell, I could not fault them ,they are great to stay in,

A couple of friends of mine had the same trouble. They'd booked hotels and train tickets to follow a band on some random tour dates but the band pulled out.

The use of the word "Traditional" when it comes to food.

You see food like Cottage or Shepherds Pie and they have chilli in them. I meean WTF chilli is not a Traditional British food

The other is Traditional Fish & Chips, they should be cooked in beef dripping, NOT any oil.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Stuff like that really annoys me. I can't have chilli (as it makes me unwell), but "food engineers" (you can't really call them chefs or cooks) are adding it to just about everything, ususally to disguise the taste of cheap meat, or possibly to disguise reduced salt levels.

The worst was when my sister put some gherkins with a meal. Turns out they were pickled gherkins with chilli. Who the hell thought that was a good idea?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I too cannot eat chilli, spicy food does not agree with me at all. I suffered last week when I bought a Korma in a supermarket. Korma normally meant to be mild with no spices in it. This one had been loaded with spice and I suffered badly all evening with indigestion, even though I had taken my medication. Gaviscon was luckily on hand to help ease the pain.

I feel like complaining to all these supermarkets and ask why add spice to a dish that is not meant to have spice in it.

Toilet's got blocked. I keep filling the pan to the top with a bucket hoping it'll unblock itself. Don't want to think about the alternative. :erm:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Might be worth getting hold of the "strong" acid based drain unblocker from B&Q

Just be careful as its pretty nasty stuff.

The only reason I can imagine for the prevalence of chilli is to hide crap ingredients and the reduction of salt in foods.

The only thing currently guaranteed not to have chilli added is breakfast cereal, but that can't last long...

Virgin Media's billing system :mad: Just renewed my phone line rental saver. Got various acknowledgements from them, so far so good.

Received new bill from them yesterday. On in is recorded payment by card for Line Rental saver, payment of it AND a payment for the monthly rental :shocked: Phone them up and guy says oh I note we forgot to set the marker to say you've paid it.

Why if the billing system knows you paid does it insist on a separate marker being set?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks. If push comes to shove. It's only paper blocking it and only just in the bend so I'm hoping the paper breaks down and dissolves away. It's happened before just not this bad.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

The acid stuff will dssolve paper so should help.
