            There are no online queues, the companies just think you are lazy for not going down there!

                      My bloody Tesco food delivery is late too!

                      It's ridiculous..they've fabricated a meaningless panic buying spree. Serve 'em right if people go elsewhere, greedy sods.

                          When Gold isn't enough, there is SA Gold! New to the forum and find the UE route a bit scary? Take a look at my diary here and judge for yourself. I am now saving the money each month that was making little difference to the balance and not a bit of difference to my credit file as a result of finding AAD.

                              Not at all. I live 30 miles from anywhere. Others are poorly etc.

                              Loads of reasons not to go queuing.
