Unfair to girls with big boobs, bosoms. breasts mammaries, bristols or whatever you want to call them

I went to treat myself to some sexy new bras today and I was NOT impressed to discover that ladies who are well endowed in the bosom area are penalised for it in the current promotion.  

 Apparently, the lingerie department contains 3 sections
  1.  for ladies who are less well endowed than a DD cup
  2.  for the above but the bra comes with matching briefs
  3. for ladies DD to F cup (G and GG cups can be found online)


So, the promotion to buy the matching set and get the briefs free is only available to number 1 above.

Number 3 has less choice of bras and they all come with matching briefs but you have to pay the full price for both, this is so very unfair.  The bras are more expensive for the larger sizes and I cannot imagine any woman squeezing herself into a much smaller size to get the briefs for free can you?

Because GET THIS the briefs that are free in the smaller size, also come in sizes that fit the larger breasted woman.  What’s that all about then?? Why are smaller breasted women getting free briefs the same size as the briefs DD + cup size woman wears this stinks and it needs to be addressed quickly.

On speaking to the Deputy Store Manager she told us when they set out the promotion it never occurred to them that they are also selling matching bra and briefs in DD + sizes and she will now bring it to the attention of the Head Office and next week she will get back to me.   I have asked for a goodwill gesture of a pair of briefs in my size to match one of the very perfect fitting bra’s I bought.

Don't Mind Me

When you still have a client in the office at the end of the day and your male colleague approaches you with his coat and scarf on and his man bag slung over his shoulder, and says "You don't mind stopping do you?" 

"You have your coat on, I don't have much choice do I?"  was my response.

"Do you want to fight about it?"  he asked me.

"There's no point, you have your coat on" was my response, and I let him have the last word when he made a comment I didn't quite catch as he walked away, knowing he was talking to a deaf person.

To say I was p***ed is an understatement, I don't mind working late, after all we do get paid for every extra minute, but I don't like getting Hobson's choice and I don't like people walking away when they are talking to me either - how RUDE

How to get Compensation from Airlines who will not pay!

In February we were 36 hours late  home from our holiday in Goa because the pilot refused to fly the plane (after the first lot of passengers were on board too).  

Three hundred people should have boarded the plane at 2.00 am but half an hour after the first passengers boarded they got off the plane and no one told us why or what was happening. 

At  4.00 am we were informed there was a problem but not told anything else.  

At 5.30 am a representative from Thomas Cook arrived in the departures lounge to inform us that coaches would be arriving to take us to hotels until the plane was ready to fly, he didn't say when but did say that a part was needed for the plane and it was being flown in as some point.

At 6.00 am we were still waiting for the coaches.

At 6.30 am the first of the coaches arrived and we all had to go to arrivals and collect our baggage from the plane to take with us to the hotel.  By this time tempers were starting to fray and people were becoming cross and argumentative. we had been up for more than 24 hours and should have actually been halfway home by now.

At 7.30 am some of us were still waiting for our coach and when it finally arrived at 8.00 am there wasn't enough room on it for all of us so Me and Billy ended up waiting with others for another half hour for a coach.

We arrived at our hotel at 9.00 am and in the reception area we were handed letters for us to give to our insurance company's when we eventually got home.

We checked into the hotel and went for some breakfast in the restaurant and immediately followed breakfast by going to be and having a bloody good sleep.  Suffice to say later in the afternoon we left the hotel with our baggage and managed to get to the airport and fly home without a hitch..........  However, on arriving at home we had extra car parking to pay and were unable to go to work (we had telephoned from India to let them know) but this meant loss of earnings.  In view of this we contacted the travel insurance company and sent in the necessary paperwork.   We received a refund for the car parking fees but were informed that they would not be paying loss of earnings, no point in arguing with them I said, so we left it.

In May. there was a program on BBC1 about Airlines failing to compensate passengers and it made me ask Google if it was too late for us to be compensated.   Google returned with a website called Skymediator.com, I checked that it was a legitimate company and discovered that it is, so we filled in the form and supplied the documentation (scanned) requested for Skymediator to assess the claim.  Imagine our happiness when we were informed that YES, we had a claim.

Thomas Cook denied the claim so Skymediator passed the claim on to their legal team and we signed the required forms giving permission for the claim to go to court, Skymediator  take 25% of the compensation and do NOT charge for ANY services at all.

Skymediator will tell you straight if you are not entitled to compensation and why not. Skymediator is a global company anyone can use them and they give out loads of info on wrong doings by airlines.  Did you know that if you are put on standby and you are late getting to your destination you can claim compensation??? Visit Skymediator.com and learn more about how you get ripped off by airlines.

Thieving B****rds

Got a text message from our credit card company at 8.00 am UK time today, ring us as a matter of urgency! Aaargh I don't finish work until 3.00 pm so I can't do it, I know I'll get Billy to ring them.   So I forward him the text message and later on my lunch break I read his response.   It said, they won't talk to me as you are the main person on the account.   It beggars belief. It is a joint account, we live at the same address and sleep in the same bed but hey we cannot talk to you about your family finances Mr Bailey.

When I got home I called the bank and low and behold yet again I had to tell them that I am deaf and can they speak a bit slower for me and while we are at it why have you not updated our account details with my request that you speak to my husband because I struggle to hear correctly?  Oh we will look into that (again) then I give the wrong security number to the woman, not once but three times because I heard her wrong when she asked for them, to cap it all when asking my security question who would I most like to meet? David Beckham...wrong, Usain Bolt...wrong. Alex Ferguson...wrong and it wasn't Al Pacino either and I am locked out of my online bank account.

So, I had to wait ten minutes to receive a text message from customer services, giving me a new security number to enable me to reset my account security and then ring customer services back. answer some questions and get put through to security to be informed that somebody has used our credit card to top up not one but two O2 pay as you go phones with £10 each, then the cheeky b****rds tried to spend £2,500 at Strawberry, what is this company, anyone?? And then over £1,000 at either Hotel USA or a hotel in the USA (still deaf).  Great news is that the credit card has been cancelled and two new ones on the way and none of the transactions were honoured, so just awaiting confirmation from O2 that we will not be charged for the two top ups.


Thank you for such a great service Tesco Credit Card we will stick with you and we hope the Fraud Squad catch the beggars.  We just hope it wasn't someone at Ikea where we last used the card.
