I bought my flat in late 2010, at the start of the year the EU forced paint manufactures to reduce amount of volatile additives in Gloss paints, it resulted in everyone reformulating their paints. (although I did not know this at the time)

The Dulux White Gloss I used, went yellow very quickly! It was a nasty yellowish colour you get if someone is a heavy smoker in the house.

This was a good comparison, the part on the left, was painted just 18 months earlier 



I basically wrote a snot-o-gram to ICL paints after seeing the Watchdog program, which went through issues ICL had.

I received vouchers for 1 x 5L Gloss, 1 x 5L Undercoat & 1 x 5L Standard Matt Paint. But as I had already re-done the gloss a few months ago, I did not need any more, I sweet talked the service manager at B&Q to let me get the above but get a credit note to their value.

So I did, oddly, out of the 5L gloss paints (only trade ones cause of the size) varied in price considerably, naturally I picked the most expensive for credit note 

I got £125 credit, shopped for some other DIY stuff I needed as I'm redoing bathroom, left with £40 still in credit

Well done - shows what can be achieved by effective communication.

Nice It's surprising what you can blag sometimes

Is this a double standard from you tunnie ? you moaned about me receiving sky via the internet for free, but you are happy to take from another company  If you actually paid £125 for the paint originaly then I apologise.

Now you can paint the town red. .....which will become pink in a month or two

I hate cecorating.

Not keen on decorating either.

What double standards? 

I decorated with defective paint, had to re-do it at my own cost, I complained and got a little more than the value of the paint for my troubles.

How does that compare to watching an illegal stream? 

Another one !

Plenty of free streams out there, just Google free Sky streams. Each one does not last long before its shut down though

Think of the marvellous education you're having in the process T.

We have both received something to which neither of us have paid for. In fact you openly admit to getting the store to change what you where entitled to.
I have no problem with what you received. Just seems odd that you where happy to make on it, but moan when I do.

Oh yes if you think the streams are shut down that quick then think again. My current one has been going for at least 3 months to my knowledge.
And I should add I am a sky subscriber to the basic package, so I do contribute a bit.

I changed nothing? I got the items I was entitled to, in a voucher, taken to till, but basically got an instant refund for those items as credit? Store kept the original items, I just got the cash value of them?

I honestly don't recall any discussions with you regarding illegal streams?
