Yes, we are all being ripped off by this Nu Labour Government.

Yes - after my mother died, my dad married again.

My stepmother took my mum's rings, all the photos of her, all of our family photos and baby photos and destroyed them. That really p1ssed me off. They divorced after 2 years :)

I felt I'd been ripped off because I had trusted her not to trash these things (which were all in a cupboard and weren't doing any harm).

It's been more than 10 years now, but my blood still boils when I think about it - aaagggh.

A removal firm quoted £70 to take my furniture one street. It took them so long at one point I thought they had took my stuff away. When the bill came in it was £220 and I had to pay it . But at every opportunity I always tell people not to use them. Slowly their reputation for conmen is paying off. Revenge is a dish best eaten cold.

I called a plumber out to look at a leaky pipe out my back yard and he charged me €150 to put some sealant around a joint in it.

I went guarantor on a car loan for a "friend" and they made two payments and I am being sued for the rest.

Yes we got ripped off to the tune of 12000 euros when buying our villa in Spain, a stark warning to all who intend to buy really check out your solicitor/Abigardo as they could well be the ones fleecing you as was ours, if in doubt contact your British consulate they will give you a list of recommended solicitors, only wish we had known 5 years ago.

Yea, 47 euro last Christmas for a free-range turkey (it didn't even have any legs !!) - and it wasn't much bigger than your southern comfort btw......

(not enough left over for sarnies Christmas night - a bloody rip off...)

Lent brother £600 for new part on his lorry. One week later lorry caught fire. He claimed on insurance and kept all the money. Something not quite right there. He now conveniently forgets about it despite reminders and requests.

£11 for ham salad in a hospital canteen! rip off!
