NO NO NO you have got this all wrong. There is a degree of humour in my post BUT it was not funny. I did not buy the phone--not that it is anyones business - but I did help out with the cost of replacement--that's what Mums are for. There really are some seriously judgemental people on this forum -- still all adds to the flavour.

Judgemental? EDFers????? I don't believe that for a second. ;)

My sense of humour is rapidly disappearing with my 22 and 24 year old still at home, but to be fair trying to buy a place to live is an impossibility for those on low incomes, but that's a whole different debate.

sjw is the phrase "let them stand on their own two feet" lost on you? When I was growing up if I couldn't afford something I'd have to wait, save up and then buy it. By the age of 34 Id have frankly been embarrassed even being offered a free phone handout let alone accept the offer!

Life seems to have changed, Louisa. These days 34 is like 14, and a lot of it's because parents refuse to let the little darlings stand on their own two feet.


When I first left home - and for a long time after - people didn't go straight from living with parents to renting a flat, or buying one. They rented a room, and often they shared one with someone else. Some of my friends' kids are horrified at they idea that they should even share a bathroom.

Is it me or is that the most phallic piece of telecoms equipment you've ever seen?

RIP --- this has got way out of hand . Thank you for the advice on child care ,each to his own , live and let live and all the other wise adages.


obviously there are a lot of perfect people out there.Unfortunately I am not one of them and still see fit to help out my offspring. I didn't realise you abandon children once they reach a certain age.

    • Nauris and his team have done fantastic work in our garden for the second year. Last year, they sanded, oiled the deck and did an immaculate job of paving the area around the deck. Then two weeks ago, I asked Nauris if he could build a garden shed, sand and oil the deck and paint and repair the fences. Again, another excellent job and he was great at fitting in a couple of small fixes. We are really pleased with the shed which is well made and painted and blends in well to the garden. Nauris is really respectful and always left everything tidy in the evening and spotlessly clean at the end of the job. Nauris also provided a clear quote for the work at the beginning.  I recommend Nauris Graudins (and his team) very highly - [email protected]  
    • So who actually checks that the above is followed - are there going to be "surprise" inspections ?
    • We have used Aria and AFE Plumbing for many years on a number of jobs - installing new taps and showerhead, unblocking pipes.  He is always quick to respond and able to swiftly attend to the issue, easy to communicate with, and makes sure the job gets done. Definitely recommended. 
    • Well you've said i'm taking a pro cash stance too far. Perhaps not twisting- i used the wrong words but you are putting words in my mouth no? I'm not one for tech, that's for sure but how do you come to the conclusion i'm pro cash? I merely pointed out that cashless and using cards / card readers/ oyster readers/ and other terminals etc aren't risk free. If i was pro cash i wouldn't be using a card on occasions. Indeed. You can say that again. Irony and self awareness not your strong point is it? Indeed. Just as well you're not the judgemental type hey!!   What a strange and arrogant entity you are.
