In my store we've had Davina's menopause book in stock for weeks, I'm almost sure that we have yet to sell one, come to think of it I haven't seen anyone actually pick it up and look at it and it's merchandised in a prime position. Sharply contrasted with the new Richard Osman book 'The Last...

The word 'gay' for homosexuals was first in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1951, but it was probably in use for 30 years before then, some think it stands for Good As You. It got adopted into regular use because the word 'queer' for homosexuals was considered derogatory for a while but the...

It's not difficult to change a tap washer providing you know where the stop cock is, I rent and could get the landlord's plumber to do it but it's more convenient to do it myself. I expect that there are lots of demonstration videos on Youtube.

A former member of this forum, her name escapes me, did some Qurio videos then resurfaced here to have a rant at some members for being critical of the way QVC were treating Qurio members and expressing concern that it looked very likely that some of the video posters had an out of control QVC...

A lot of the youngsters that come in my store are tattooed. Some of them have very fine lined designs, which will spread over time and lose definition, some have tattoos that are very 'of the minute' so in a couple of years will look dated. I had a young woman in the store yesterday wearing...

I often browse in my local Sally Army shop so I got chatting with the volunteers, they were delighted to take the hair stuff but I don't know if it was because they know me and think that I am relatively harmless and look clean or if it's normal policy.

I have baby fine hair that I abuse so badly by bleaching my hairdresser is amazed that it sticks to my head. Thank you for the reviews, I've decided to go for it, I just donated two carrier bags full of hair care stuff that promised luscious locks but didn't work for me to the Salvation Army...

When I used to work for the late Queen and had occasion to phone the tax office (it the days when I had functioning hearing) the call was always answered immediately by someone with a cut glass accent, after I left that job (OK I was sacked :LOL:) and had occasion to phone HMRC I had to wait for...

If his products give such wonderful results he could pack away his needles and scalpels because there would be no need for plastic surgeons.

A quick Google found https://www.spinal.co.uk/ https://www.escis.org.uk/physical-health/national-back-pain-association-backcare/ and I've always found Citizens Advice excellent https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/

Just today I came across a pair of Ruth's jeans in a charity shop. The waistband was marked, in orange, UK 8. I thought they looked a little larger, whipped out me tape measure and the waist was 30'' which is nearer to UK12. The quality wasn't that great either!

I meant to say that I received a reply, and they said that they do have email contact information on their website. I replied that the information should be everywhere they have their telephone number so deaf people don't have to go looking for how to make contact while hearing people have...

I swore that I would never again buy L'Occitane when they gave up their leaping bunny and then continued to trade in Russia after the Ukraine invasion, and I can bear a grudge until the end of time. I'd rather bathe in washing up liquid!

You have the whole of this forum thinking of you and wishing you a speedy recovery, and if you happen to live in West Norfolk I'd be glad to help out with your dogs and anything else.

I had my first job aged 15, and I've always worked. I reached 66 in January and I cannot afford to retire so I work on average 34 hours a week on my feet all day, on Friday we had two pallets of stock delivered, mostly boxes of books. The pallets measure approximately 5'x5' and are stacked about...

No QVC will sell brass plated with gold, silver or platinum at near to solid gold silver or platinum prices.

Thank you again for not saying that I am being over sensitive :) I will wait for their response, and give them a chance to add email contact details alongside their telephone number because maybe they are not aware that they are causing difficulty to a section of the community but if they fob...

Thank you so much for finding that but my point is that the telephone number to contact QVC is clearly displayed at the foot of every page, but the hearing impaired have to go hunting for the email address, which I couldn't find. I had to ask the lovely people on here for advice, and it...

Aww thank you AndiK, that's lovely of you. The next time I am in town I will try and have a word with my local deaf person's advocate, I'd be interested in her views and if QVC are not amenable, I'll be contacting my MP, the Minister for the Disabled, and anybody else I can think of.
