Refinance Home – Bad Credit Loans

A BBC Panorama investigation screened on Monday accused the UK’s big four supermarkets of confusing customers with misleading pricing and less than transparent special offers. The program claimed its findings could leave the stores open to prosecution and enforcement action from the Office of Fair Trading (OFT).

Reporter Sophie Raworth skulked around branches of the big four’s stores near to her home with a hidden camera and uncovered a range of bogus deals, pricing mistakes and misleading claims that could leave customers out of pocket.

The country’s biggest supermarkets – Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons – are in the middle a price war to tempt cash-strapped consumers into their stores over the Christmas period.

Burnt out Brit’s lives have become so stressful that we need to take a holiday every 62 days to avoid making mistakes at work and putting our health at risk.

A survey by Post Office Travel Insurance found that nearly a quarter of workers are so stressed-out that they need to take some time off every few months to stay fresh and focused.

The study found that those who leave a longer gap between breaks are more likely to become anxious, aggressive and ill.

The average worker did not take their first break until April 19 this year. Just one in five employees allow themselves some time off every two months, while 44% work six months straight before taking a holiday.

Experts have warned that worries about job security, redundancies and the fragile state of the economy have increased stress for workers, making holidays more important than ever.

Cary Cooper, professor of organisational psychology and health at Lancaster University, said: “Redundancies across the country have led to a fall in numbers of workers in each organisation, but no fall in… Continue To Read This Post..
