email: dover7@msn.com - 23 December 2011 12:21143834Gawd! these food ones above are a bit scary, I bought some smoked salmon on Wedsnesday and I was in the Co-op getting a few bits but forgot the salmon and nipped into M&S and got a great half price deal on their Scottish salmon, however now I'm not too sure about trusting that one either
- 23 December 2011 13:07143844wouldn't worry too much, marks and spencers are very careful with their products.

23 December 2011 14:56143855Surely most if not all shops and producers make mistakes occasionally, look at the Waitrose one above, what is important is how they deal with it.-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
------------------------------------------------------------------- - 24 December 2011 09:02143971Wouldnt worry there Colette, no not at all, the recalls are specific to the items shown, very often to do with packaging and what have you in a particular instance.email: dover7@msn.com

TS Alert Information on CAR INSURANCE
Sent By
Trading Standards Advice and Education
(Ref RS 334608m)
Message
Kent County Council Trading Standards are warning drivers to check that their car insurance is correct and valid. Complaints have been received about an online motor insurance trader "Aston Midshires Insurance" which is based in Leicestershire.
The trader has been targeting young and high-risk drivers across the country, and selling car insurance policies online. However, it has been found that this trader has been running a scam and the insurance policies it has sold do not exist and offer no protection.
Consumers who have purchased these policies are in fact uninsured and are advised not to drive until they have arranged appropriate legal insurance cover. Please note that driving without appropriate insurance is a criminal offence and may lead to you being stopped by the Police.
If you are not sure if your car is properly insured, you can check for free online at http://www.askmid.com
When shopping for car insurance you should check that the insurer is authorised by the Financial Services Authority (FSA). It is recommended that you obtain a few quotes to help you decide which offer to accept. You can either contact insurers directly yourself or you can use an insurance broker to shop around on your behalf.
If you decide to purchase your insurance policy online you should make some checks to ensure that the website is for a legitimate trader. Look on the website to check it displays the full address and contact details of the trader, and check that their phone number works if you have any concerns or you have not heard of the trader before.
Once you have taken out an insurance policy you should receive three documents:
Ø The Certificate: which contains the details of the vehicle and drivers insured
Ø The Policy: which sets out the full terms and conditions
Ø The Schedule: which sets out the specific details of your policy, such as any excesses and no-claims discounts
It is important to check these documents to ensure that all the details are correct.
When purchasing expensive goods or services, such as car insurance, it is recommended that you always consider paying with your credit card as your card provider may be able to provide extra support and cover should any problems arise with your purchase.
Further advice about how to purchase car insurance can be found online at http://www.direct.gov.uk
Consumers who believe that may have purchased an invalid insurance policy should contact Consumer Direct on 0808 156 2256 for further advice.email: dover7@msn.com - Keith Sansum1

25 January 2012 16:59149308it is all very good that trading standards giving out this information, but having given them information on a shop in london road i have mentioned before in anbother thread i felt a little disapponted in the reply.
Realising it's probably a staffing shortage issue my information to them will just be used as part of information gathering.
in the meantime this shop continues to rip people off
and not have the correct paperwork in place to operate
But all of that said the information above is i'm sure usefulALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS
