Apparently the new thing to do is to rent DVDs by post. But, it has been the new thing for a while, so it’s not really new any more. Anyway, I decided to give it a whirl.
First I signed up with amazon as I think they are brilliant and have been with them for years (for books). I set it all up and created a wanted list. And waited. And waited. The DVDs said “available now”. No dispatching. I waited for days. Then I gave up and cancelled. Then I signed up with a company I have had loads of issues with… Tesco. After they insisted that I had to put 10 titles on my wanted list they dispatched the next day.

Didn’t know they did broadband too :-0 I hate Tesco with a passion and avoid it as much as possible. Feel my blood pressure increasing just driving into the car park 😦

Should have said, we use LoveFilm for our DVD rentals and they are always sending us special offers to pass on to people we know that usually have a 3 month free period.
