    Only a few here have fluorescents jackets down here, even seen horses + riders out in the dark, even have tractors + trailors with no lights, cars, vans and tractors which don't slow down or will give way, the worst one i seen was a tractor + trailor with load of straw and the driver had the bale spike level with the ground and about 3 foot of the ground just right to go through your windscreen on single track road with blind bends

            NT Yorkshire also can't spell

            With so many hard working volunteers, there must be somebody who'd be able to help their (paid?) internet team sort out their spelling.


            P.S. Cheshire NT can't spell either!

              At least Yorkshire didn't turn it into a perve! :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

              They have probably never heard of a spellchecker :doh:

              In the old days the printers used to check the copy but they don't do it nowadays. :nonofinger:

                When we visited a well known supermarket (beginning with T) in the New Year at the front of the store they were proudly boasting: "Supporting the local communuity"

                    I got my annual car insurance quote by mail today from the insurance company I've used for several years. Every time I receive such quotes they're always much higher for the coming year than the last. This time it was £75 higher which, to me, is way over the top. So every year I have to go onto the Net put my details, yet again, into their site to get another quote. And, as always, I get a quote that is around the same amount that I'm paying now. That will mean me phoning them and telling them the situation, that leads to the operator going through the motions of comparing their Net quote and their Mail quote.:wallbanging:.........and then them reluctantly agreeing to the Net quote.:doh:

                      Same here A, but they never match what I can find online, so I have the extra trouble of photocopying my driving licence and proof of no claims and sending them off to the new company, hope this year is different :)

                              That's because so many people these days can't be bothered with the hassle of questioning the quote Armandii, which in turn lines the pockets of the insurance companies.

                              We've been with our insurance company for many years and for several of those years the cost had gone down. On the island insurance was cheaper being classed as semi-rural, but since we've moved back and changed our car in the process we've found the new insurance very reasonable with the same company. We'll be staying with them. :)
