Ever bought a piece of kit that delivered less than it promised?

All of them shite.

Which proceeded to explode in my microwave despite following all the instructions ..... damn things!

Oh your card is well and truly marked...how dare you suggest it's only 4 bikes

Don't suppose the quantity of bikes really matters as you can only not ride one at a time

Ooooh, I bow to your superior level of cutting jibe on this one

I find not riding two is far more comfortable.

Rechargeable AA batteries... you can see them dimming the second you start using them.

Speaking of rechargeable batteries, I use the modern NiMh batteries frequently but I remember buying a NiCad charger and all sizes of NiCad batteries the novelty quickly wore off when I had to wait 13 hours to use them.

A six-pack of Double Diamond. Not only did it not work any wonders whatsoever, it tasted crap as well.

And that quality sherry you could buy by the gallon, can't remember the name of it though...Nitromors?

That's the stuff you have to drink outside because of the dangerous fumes, isn't it?

Yeah, and don't even think about lighting that Wills Whiff!

Thought it was just my wife's that you had to take up to my son's bedroom and hang out the window to get a signal at all...

Someone has got to have something from JML, everyone has been suckered by them. Think hard though, you may have erased it from your memory.

It might not be the phone but the signal strength that's at fault. I think you mention T-mobile being the service provider in another posting elsewhere.

T-mobile reception is almost non existent in Parkland Crescent. So is Virgin. Try getting your phone unblocked and using a SIM from another phone company.

This link might also help

3 and T-Mobile are worse than useless in pockets up here but O2 and Orange are generally fine. Vodaphone tends to be OK just about everywhere too.
