Review of Kwik-Fit Tyre & Exhaust Centres by calder1

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Poor quality product with no chance of refund

In summer 2007 I bought a car battery from Kwik Fit which came with a three year guarantee. In July 2008, less than a year later, the battery failed while I was on holiday abroad and I had to buy and carry a new battery from a local garage. On my ret ... Read review

MUTTLEYTHEFROG - thankyou for your comment.. i suppose i should agree with your view on seeing a psychiatrist. i actually did just that during my 2 years attempting to persuade the nhs that it WAS affecting me psycologically, only to be refused funding unless i could prove that it was not PURELY a psycological problem!! (how the hell do you do that??) a loan seemed so much easier i would never consider surgery merely to 'improve' a part of my body, i simply felt i was missing the part that defined me as a woman! i would've accepted an A cup breast but wasn't even blessed with that! as it is i stressed to my surgeon how my only fear was that the implants would be too big and that my ideal size would be a B cup (which is what i now have) i have NEVER wanted large breasts. As with the money issue i have been informed that there is no reason why the new implants used should not last me a lifetime (they do have a lifetime garauntee) however should they cause a problem in the future i have 2 options - either have them replaced in which case the implants would be free and the manufacturer would pay between 1/4 and 3/4 of the surgery cost, or have them removed but not replaced completely free on the nhs (the nhs will NOT refuse this to anybody if the implants are causing medical problems) only time can tell if the implants WILL outlive me but if not, my decision will obviously depend on my financial situation at the time. I apologise for not going into more detail regarding the formentioned subjects but as i said in my review - i simply want to make more people aware that private hospitals offer the same procedures but the level of care and competence is by comparison,in my opinion outstanding. I hope i have cleared a few things up but if not i'm more than happy to answer any other questions...from anybody! by veryhappybunny

Ebay-Truly The Buyer's Market
Review of Member Advice On Buying and Selling on Ebay by magicalme01

Advantages: great bargains for buyers

A well-written review, and as an eBay shopholder until 25th September when eBay raised the seller fees so dramatically that I had to shut down, I agree with your sentiments. But, you've not written what the topic requires, which is 'Buying and Selling on eBay', and so other members may rate this review as 'Off Topic' or 'Not Helpful'. If you re-write it to give actual advice on how to buy and sell on eBay, you'll get better ratings. (As for me, I still buy there, as eBay don't get any money off of me for doing so, but will be selling on eBid!) by thereddragon

I don't believe i have told others not to have an open relationship in this topic.I did state it was my personal feeling not the feeling of others.I also stated that it may work for some but not for me. by jackie59
You've no experience on the issue and your advise appears to be - don't have an open relationship. This is surely of limited help to someone considering, or actually involved in, such. Many people do enjoy quite happily having open relationships - it may not fit with Christian (or other religious) conventions but it can work. If some people are seeking a life partner, or simply want to sample a range of goods on offer, then I don't see a problem unless there is lack of honesty. I've met people in open relationships who have been together for decades... and are very committed to each other. Life can be quite dull - and people like to try new experiences or test new products... I would have thought Ciao itself is absolute testimony to that with product reviews and life adventures. I can't advise on how to improve the review unless you're prepared to do some solid research first - I wouldn't recommend you go out and get experience in the area as clearly it is not for you... I'm surprised you wrote on this topic when there will be many others you have direct experience of. Pete by muttleythefrog
