On 18 Aug 09, I agreed to take a carpet so I could go and fit in at home since I didn't have my measurements. As it seemed that there were others I could exchange with should the size not be right, it made sense that I make payment. A few days later I took it back as the carpet was too big for my place. I was given a smaller one and was promised that more caperts were expected in 2wks and that I'd be called back for an exchange. Two weeks later no call was received and when I did make the call I was informed that perhaps in another... read full review »

Eagle encounters Spier
Anali Tabone October 24, 2009
I visited the centre on the 15 th of October 2009. The moment I walked in I noticed all the Eagles sitting in rows tied by the foot on a short chain or rope, perched on a small plastic loop. I arrived at 11.50 am and it was over 28 o Celsius on arrival. I walked around and notice that every time someone walks close by the eagles would struggle and startle and try to fly up and away. I then myself realized that it was indeed very hot out in the open sun and noticed that only a few of the birds was protected by some sort of shade. My son... read full review »

Jonway Motorcycles
M de Villiers October 23, 2009
I bought a new Jonway 250 Scooter in March 2009. The first problem was that it overheated. The dealer where we bought the scooter, replaced the thermostat. Then the fan stopped working, and it was replaced. Suddenly oil started leaking out of the oilcap, when we opened it, the oil spilled onto the ground in a gush, the dealer said that the petrol was leaking into the engine?? He claimed the headgasket had not been fitted correctly, and caused the problem. The bike was sent to Jonway Johannesburg for repairs. Since the indicators and the... read full review »

Over three months after the vehicle accident, the repairs I discovered today are below standard. First For Woman (FFW) nominated Royal Panel Beaters (RPB) as an accredited auto body repair shop, but the shoddy workmanship can not be accepted. The assessors at FFW approved the workmanship, leaving me wondering what qualified their judgment. I refused to take the vehicle today and seek a competent assessment from someone who knows what they are doing. RPB declare that the workmanship on the vehicle at present is the best they can do!!!

Very disturbing discovery about the oil used for the French Fries. My daughter & I bought meals from the Bayside, Table View branch. When we opened the brown bag, the smell that attacked our nostrils, was unbelievable. It was a combination of the smell of moth balls and chemicals. We tried to eat them, but were unable. I took the box into the shop and was told quite frankly that it is the oil and that new oil was being brought through by the Manager the following day. They use the oil for 9 days and that they had had many complaints. I... read full review »

The "manager" a Ms Koegh showed me a similar, not the same item and said I should have looked there for the price.

I am disgusted by the fact that SABC 3 regularly screens movies with an 18-year-old age restriction on Saturday nights at 7:30 or 8:00 pm.

I personally do not watch movies with such age restrictions, but I can understand if they are screened late at night when young children would be sleeping.
