BEWARE THE LITTLE GODS AT THE MILNERTON VEHICLE LICENCE DEPT
Whatever ever you do, don't ever offer to go to the MILNERTON VEHICLE LICENCE DEPT for a friend or relative ... especialy if your friend/ relative is over 90 and you are over 80. YOU WILL GET ABSOLUTELY NO SYMPATHY. I tried to renew a relative's car licence. I had a copy of the gent's ID, a Letter of Authority from him, the car's Registration Certificate and the old Licence. Yo would think all that would be adequate but NO! the Letter of Authority was declared faulty. Why o' why must people always play god!

OUT WITH OUTSURANCE!!
I reported a problem with a geyser (hot water cylinder) several months ago. To their credit, Outsurance sent a plumber straight away and the geyser was replaced in record time. However, almost immediately afterwards, the water ceased to get warm. I have notified Outsurance no less than THREE times but no luck. Time to change my insurer?

SOME TELKOM STAFF DO TRY!
I took out an Internet contract with Telkom but the saleman neglected to supply me with a router. Somehow, my old equipment worked ... that is until last week when my internet service went down. I spoke to over 12 people at Telkom with no success ... until yesterday when the manager at Canal Walk gave me a router which a lady at the Call Centre configured for me this morning. These 5 stars are for those staff members who tried to help me (and who did) ... namely, PATRIC and RUBIN at Canal Walk and LEHLOHONOLO and JENNIFER at the Call Centre. A big THANK YOU to these people.

WOOLIES IN A DOWNWARD SPIRAL
Some interesting statistics about WOOLWORTHS (from Hellopeter):- - 11511 X 1 star reviews as opposed to 1539 x 5 star reviews. In other words 87% of all the reviews concerning Woolies are decidedly NEGATIVE. - Of the reviews for July 2025 (up to 15.7.2025), there are 56 reviews (ALL NEGATIVE except for ONE (2 star) review. That's almost 4 NEGATIVE reviews EVERY DAY. - Woolies best beware ... they're going the same way as one of our other national supermarkets ... DOWN!

SHAME ON WOOLIES!
Some time ago, I was persuaded by Woolies' adverts to open a credit card account. These adverts highlighted three "benefits" of having the account, namely:- 1. A Free Taste Magazine every month 2. Two coffee vouchers 3. A Cash Back voucher based on the amount of purchases made. A few months ago, Woolies discountinued the free magazine. NOW WOOLIES HAS SUSPENDED ITS COFFEE VOUCHERS ... INDEFINITELY!! Isn't this the markings of a ****???

IS THIS HOW CELEBRITY CRUISES SURVIVES?
How I wish I had checked Hellopeter about CELEBRITY CRUISES before making my booking! I would have been forewarned about this cruise liner. Instead, I learnt a very expensive lesson. To cut a loooong story short, I booked a cruise with CELEBRITY CRUISES but was forced to cancel at the very last minute because of Covid19. After running around (in an unfami**** city) to find a doctor to confirm my condition ... and NUMEROUS phone calls and emails, I was told that CELEBRITY CRUISES no longer refunded monies in the case of cancellations due to Covid19. But NOWHERE was I informed about this! So besides going on a wild goose chase, I lost all my hard earned money. CELEBRITY CRUISES has absolutely NOTHING to celebrate.

VISIT DSTV (MULTICHOICE) AT YOUR PERIL
If ever you have to visit Multichoice at N1, don't forget to take your blood pressure pills! I went today to take out a streaming contract and came away quite exhausted. I had to repeatedly tell the "consultant" (at table No 6) to LISTEN to me. Only when I took down her name, did she show a bit of enthusiasm. We EVENTUALLY got to the stage where she downloaded the DSTV Stream App on my phone. But I had to ask her how do I CONNECT my phone to my smart TV. She took me to "Log in to TV" on the App and said I must enter a code that would appear on my TV screen. I went home to look for the code ... but NO magic! The poor lady forgot to explain how the code would be generated. Now I have to go back to N1 City for the FIFTH time! Thank goodness for blood pressure pills!!!

OLD MUTUAL'S SERVICE STINKS
If you want your patience to be tested GO TO OLD MUTUAL. if you want horrible service GO TO OLD MUTUAL. If you want to take out a life policy or make an investment DON'T GO TO OLD MUTUAL. Listen to someone who learnt the hard way! The fact that Old Mutual belongs to a "highly regulated industry" means absolutely zilch! You have been warned!
