I still have my Watt/Puppies. They have been driven by Naim 52/Supecap/135s very nicely indeed. They were driven even better by a Krell 600 Power amp, still fed by the 52/Supercap.

You are being fed a rotten deal. Decide whether you are prepared to stay with the company under the new arrangements or whether you are going to leave. Refuse to travel on Saturday or Sunday and refuse to work any weekends whilst away from home. This might mean longer periods away from home -...

72 now. "Retired" 7 years ago after turning 65 - (actually made redundant by mutual agreement because it was financially better). Had spent most of my working life flying one way or another - and doing a few other things when not on duty and in between jobs. When I "retired" I took on a...

I'm not sure I fully understand the situation as it currently stands. It seems as if;_ Matthew has had his money returned to his account by some action on the part of his bank. However, the possibility exists that Amazon could make a counter-claim on the bank to have the money placed in...

Surely that should read "...maximum temp for a freezer is -18deg C..."

Been away for a few days in remote parts, just wondered what the latest situation was ? Has Amazon made any response, or are they still ignoring all correspondence ?

So, one month on and............?

Looks like you are going to need a really, REALLY good lawyer on your side, for this one.

I presume that by now you have followed the advice of everyone else.............and your bank has said.........?

Section 75 does not apply to Charge Cards e.g. Amex or Diners Club so far as I recall. It does apply to Credit Cards, subject to a couple of limitations. It might apply to Debit Cards. Depends on your specific card.
