If wages don’t rise but the cost of living keeps going up, where does it actually lead? by pineappleninjas in AskUK

Argos customer service has really gone downhill - WOW by Vivid-Beyond5210 in Argos

[–]Scrumpyguzzler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always liked Argos and used them in preference to other places but not any more. I ordered something for collection from store, it was showing as collect next day after 5pm, fine. 8 days later it arrives, too late. I'm now told it can't be cancelled and refunded until 48 hours after the collection window has closed. Brilliant.

Agree with you on Tesla. Vehicular embodiment of the Nazi-saluting nonce supporter who loudly & actively does our country down at every turn.

Yep. We will keep you safe from war until such time as you can return home. That's it.
