      Estsate Agents! how they love copy and paste :biggrin: how can a Estate Agent copy and paste an out of date floor plan of a house then try to sell it to some one!!!! 8 years out of date ;) and had alot of work to change the ground floor rooms

      I was looking at the website that is selling the house near here and notice the ground floor plan as changed a lot from when it first came on to the market but they use the 8 year old plan, i hope the sellers are not paying full price to get the house sold

      Don't people check things today!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      They did take new pictures of the house

          I can tell lots of places where's it stored and where some is made,you be amaised as to where it's stored, hauled thousands of tons of the stuff

          I even had the lorry + trailor nicked with 25 tons of AN and yes the AN was used for xxxxx not food for plants

            Think I've seen stacks of bags in fields many years ago, before people realised what it could be used for.

              This disaster in Lebannom should never have happened.
              Often when mentioning chemicals of any kind, that gardeners may use. I always suggest everyone to read the labels and follow the instructions. Always make sure, YOU know exactly what you are using.

                Now it's to be under lock and key in a shed, but you can go to some farms and tis in a lean to shed with no doors

                  I always thought it was difficult to get going and you needed something as a detonator.
                  Not heard anything concrete but didn't there appear to be fireworks going off before the big bang.

                  If so I don't think you could believe the stupidity.

                    You may not even know if it's in a shed just around the corner from you, councils/firebrigade and the big people will know that AN is being stored in sheds on docks and industrial estates etc but you may not unless you know what to look for

                      I have an old Nokia phone bought in 2007 with a Virgin Sim Card in it, they are changing things and I was sent a letter with a new Sim Card, put it in and it's locked, asking for a code to be entered..........

                      I spent over 30 mins (costing a fortune) talking to a lady, and got nowhere....At one point she said we can't help you as you didn't buy the phone for us.....She tried to fob me off by saying she had sent me an email........ok she did, just a standard letter with no code!!!!!
                      At one point she did say to say you can save the cost of a phone call, you can text us..........I can't the phone is locked:mute:

                        Sounds like a wind up to get you to buy a new phone John.

                          @john558 ,I'm sure others know more than me about this kind of thing.
                          But I think you need a PUK code or something similar to unlock it.
                          And they have to give it to you by law, but they mess you around.
                          Have a look on line.

                                Thanks for that Pete I'll try that. Made me smile this evening, Virgin sent me an email asking me to complete a survey on how I was treated today by a Virgin agent........I resisted.
                                Will probably end up getting a new phone with a different provider.
