Oh keep it Riley It's interesting to hear why members chose a particular name.

Kaytee, he/she is great I hope it doesn't rust. Rosa, you cannot have any more room on your balcony,lol. cheers

MZ, that's terrible, your poor mum.I hope she's put the word about and the garage gets no more work. It must be obvious to those that work there who's responsible unless it's the owner who's doing it. clueless1 - I thought the same. How can the passenger really be responsible for what the...

When we first moved in here, I phoned up the electricity company to tell them we were here and all bills for electricity used at this address from now on should come to me. A couple of weeks later I received a bill for about £3000. I phoned them and asked them how I could have used so much...

Kandy, going in a helicopter would be the most scary for me I think :D I have to say I am tempted to fly to Cornwall, 8 hours in a car is not nice.The form has been filled in, signed etc so I am off to post it today, paying the extra for the P.O to check it for me. My friend signed in for...

I've signed and sent it to everyone I can think of. Our armed forces are being treated abominably by our government. We should be supporting these guys and girls.

Although we're on t"elephone preference" a few calls get through. The ones I like best are those where after the "preamble" they say; "I'm not trying to sell you anything." We aways reply; "Well, thanks for letting me know, goodbye" and we put the phone down.

I've been known to do the very same thing to telephone sales people who insist on calling every evening in the middle of my serving up dinner.......just leave the phone down without hanging up. If they've been asked not to call back, and they do.....that's exactly what they get Either that,...

Hi Rosa your photos are great,here,s just a couple of mine(and there,s a lot more) :dh: that you don,t see:hehe::lollol::rotfl:

Terrible loss, Robert. With such narrow buildings, it's lucky that the fire didn't spread futher into the surrounding buildings. Mind you, if the shop was a really popular one, then they'll probably be reopened in next to no time at all. Let's hope so for the owners.

And there's me thinking I could become a millionaire - oh well back to the premium bonds.

I wholeheartedly agree with the things you point out. I sometimes think that if the governments agency, trading standards put a little bit more effort into ensuring that the consumer was given the full force of their rights, the retail sector would be more reluctant to cheat the consumer. I'm 67...

hehe marley, well im logging off as ive loads to do before the taxi arrives, see you all when i get back next week, bye for now all my dear friends xx

It certainly is a mine field. Years ago, when I very nearly joined the army, they did background checks not only on me, but the also wanted to know all about my parents and close associates. They were quite open about the fact that they were going to check if I had any direct or indirect links...

Oops Happy Birthday

Short and sweet. Myself and the other half where staying at a holiday cottage somewhere ?
