BFTD Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 So, your TV developed a fault with the display, you contacted Toshiba for a repair under warranty, they got you to send the TV to them, they took a look at it and said, "yeah, the display's fucked, so we're not dealing with that", before sending it back with a note confirming it's fucked and a vague missive that you should take it back to where you bought it and maybe they'll do something for you. Can't say I'll be buying any Toshiba tellies in the near future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's who the contract was with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 When folk say things about a person like "Ach that's no age at all" or "They were too young" of "They had their whole life ahead of them" or similar pish, what is the age limit they mean? When is it time for a single person to pack it in? When/how/should someone go about booking in to a Swiss resort? Not a literal booking but one metaphorically just in case 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 14 hours ago, Miguel Sanchez said: Toshiba. Got picked up last Thursday (after DPD didn't turn up on Wednesday), I got an e-mail on Tuesday to say they had it and I've heard nothing since. I had similar with Panasonic tv - just a line appearing after a week. It got replaced but the new one I got was a bit shit after 6 months and would freeze occasionally, sometimes the volume would crank up and sometimes it would just power off altogether for no reason. It completely stopped working after 4 years and I got an lg replacement for much less and it has been flawless since. I got a Samsung passed down to me recently and it’s not as good as the lg tv either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest_Man#1 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Tried looking a bit online but still unsure what my rights are. I’ve got a return flight booked in October with Qatar that has 2 legs each way. They’ve cancelled the legs that would get me to and from my final destination. Ideally I’d want to cancel the full thing and get money back. Do I have to accept an offer of a rescheduled flight or can I get a refund? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't really matter TBF and you're always got the section 75 option if they don't play ball. Don't expect you'll have many issues getting a refund. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first they said they’d offered me a reschedule so if I wanted to cancel then I’d still attract the (utterly scandalously priced) cancellation fee of $195 per person. Eventually wore them down and they agreed that the rescheduled flight times weren’t close enough and they wouldn’t charge me. Still have to apply for the refund like normal, but made sure to get it in writing that there wasn’t any cancellation fee first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I had a similar thing where KLM wanted to change the times of 2 legs of a 4 flight booking, and it was impossible to cancel the whole thing online. When I finally managed to get hold of someone on the phone I got the full refund after they checked with their manager, but with no quibble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Blanket TV coverage of the Queen's health and everybody seems to be jumping on the bandwagon saying that their thoughts and prayers are with her. Is God counting the prayers like some kind of cosmic crowdfunding thing, and if they don't reach a certain number, she's toast? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's sort of the way it used to work in the mediaeval Catholic church. If you were a rich b*****d you could leave money for a Collegiate church to be established where monks would say prayers for your soul and this would get you time off Purgatory. There were Collegiate churches in Seton near Prestonpans and Cockburnspath, both in the care of Historic Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
