The Plough is the pits :(

Thanks, ed_pete, that's really useful. Will take my grandkids on their next visit (we still have half the Tower to do! Luckily I've got one of those annual cards, well worth it, we already got our money's worth on two visits to the Tower and one to Hampton Court!) ETA: Pity they don't do the same for the Shard. I missed out on the original offer despite queuing for ages.

Really good and arrived in 24 hours. I've seen stall traders struggling with these because they can't get a signal, or can't get connected. Might be fine for some things, but maybe not when you're dealing with a queue of people! Though at least our concert tickets are mainly sold online in advance via WeGotTickets.

Surely most people pay other people/organisations by BACS these days rather than cheque? It's far quicker and easier. ETA: Ten years ago we used to pay our headliners by cheque. It's always BACS now, whether to the artist or the agent. ETA: Easier for them, and easier for us. And surely you'd pay membership fees etc by direct debit or standing order? That's what I do for the charities I support. If you send a cheque, it's got to be processed manually at the other end, then somebody has to pay it in at the bank. Plus it might get lost in the post.

I'm surprised admin haven't taken it upon themselves to expand on/change the subject of this thread. "Is this normal?" could refer to many many things. In fact the mind boggles :)) ETA: Oh, they have! Or someone has ......

Isn't it about time there was some sort of photo, fingerprint or voice recognition used with cards? Is this technologically feasible, or financially viable?

Sorry, Gardenman, even I can't agree with that. Who do you think is setting these "lessons" you are "meant" to learn, then? How are "you" bringing challenges into your life? What exactly does "your life is for your growth" mean in practice?

A couple of times at our gigs, we have had people saying they never carry cash, and being annoyed when we say we don't take cards! Luckily, the lovely Ivy House gives cashback at the bar :)

The chiropractor definitely does not want a CPZ because it would mean patients with a mobility problem potentially having to park some way from his clinic, and then not be able to walk there. Therefore it will impact on his business, because they will go to a chiropractor where they can park within a reasonable distance. He is a very good chiropractor, btw!

I would be quite happy to buy fish at the door! If it was a good price and looked/smelled fresh, I'd bung it in my chest freezer along with all the veg from my allotment! Can't understand how anybody could buy "too much", though - surely you say how much you want and pay accordingly?! Or do they grab your wallet and shove all their boxes through your door, then scarper? :))

I have also had things delivered which have been opened, or somebody has tried to open them.

That's why, to the best of my knowledge, Royal Mail have always had an investigation department.

Not a credit card, but I had an M&S gift card go "missing" in the post. M&S replaced it, but I have no idea whether the original one was used.

So you can't actually answer my question, then?

I always talk back to those self check outs :))

DulwichFox Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > > Time to get rid of Taxing Labour Southwark > council And you think a non-Labour Southwark council would have made money how? It is the Tory so-called government who has cut council funding to the bone, as I understand it. How do you understand it?

If memory serves there's a pub on Railton Road that has them on draught. Also one near Borough Market, at the main road end that Borough station is on (sorry, can't remember the name of the road).
