What cheeses me off

[Pushka]

I can’t be the only one that finds jokes/humour related to events recently in Victoria involving mushrooms, not funny and unpleasant?

People died FFS, what if it was one of your family, funny then?

I agree but I haven't seen anything humour posted online, but more like trying to understand what's happened. Haven't been in to reddit etc

Agreed
What also really upset me was that gorgeous RecipeTinEats author Nagi has been inundated by press since the media showed and kept referencing the beef wellington recipe from her book.
I do not know anyone that does not use her wonderful recipes. She donates all her advertising revenue to her kitchen that feeds hundreds of vulnerable people every day a nutritious meal. She is amazing, decent and kind. She had to put out an instagram post today that she would not discuss this case any further.

Totally agree. She is just a lovely generous person

When I was chatting to one of the stall holders in the Truro market (Greek lady who made the most wonderful cakes) she knew who Nagi was and loved her recipes

Last week I called my insurer last week to query a massive price increase, agent couldnt answer my questions and said an assessor would call me back.

Finally call me back today and then wont tell me anything until i give them a bunch of PII. Im like no you called me, so i dont need to validate myself. She said how do I know you are you, um because you called my registered mobile, I said how do I know you are really from insurer. Then she said in that case you will have to call the switchboard and validate again via call centre. I'm said can please get your name to be routed to you, she says no - grrr.

So I call their care number, get through to an agent, validate myself and then the agent again cant help and said she will have to have someone call me back. Im like no Im not going through this nonsense again, please cancel my policy.

Cheesed off even more because I took this policy out with a different insurer who then sold off this business and my policy. Since this has happened I've lost online visibility of the policy (still waiting for new company to provide credentials, whereas used to be in online banking) and they can never help when you call.

They then send me an email saying they have recorded my complaint. I will be following up with a formal written complaint; other companies can register you for online account over the phone; they obviously dodgy, i cant imagine what they would be like to claim against.
