Oh dear, commiserations, hope you get it sorted. We had five thousand 2018 Goose flyers which had to be redone because the printer had made a mistake. They did pay, but it was annoying and the incorrect ones all had to go in the recycling :(

I just want to say how happy I am with my Roku stick, it's brilliant. Thanks again for all the help on this thread, especially the Sainsbury's mention! Looking forward to Part Three of The Crown now, and have very belatedly discovered Sherlock :))

Ha ha well spotted (so to speak :)) )

As it was the printer's fault, should they not send replacements to the correct address? Are they time critical?

Very disappointing. :)) I must say I can't see any problem with people gardening at night provided they aren't disturbing anybody. Each to their own and all that. I'd probably do the same if there were things I hadn't had time to do in the day and I had enough light to see by. Or is Louisa doing a KK bus and car type post? Who knows. Well apart from Louisa, obv :)) ETA: The bulbs I can understand. It's past the time most bulbs should have been planted, so they were probably desperate to get them in. I've only just planted some of mine, and I had been fretting about it for weeks :(

Maybe the thread heading could be changed, even just to add a question mark? It's a bit alarming otherwise!

Oh it has definitely entered my lexicon. Who wants to be mature? 12 year olds are much more fun :))

This or a similar version of it has been going on round here on and off for years. In the nineties it was either very poor quality household goods like tea towels, or else truly appalling "original art".

I don't think moondancer was having a go at you, RPC? And yes, that post from Flintstone reviving the thread after eight months sounds like one of those effusive paid for "reviews" you get in local papers, rather than the usual kind of forum post. But what would I know? It's a shame, because they have the opposite effect on me to what is presumably intended. It puts me off going to the place in question. It's the "crushed and devalued" thing all over again ......

dbboy, both councillors have gone out of their way to help. Why are you having a go at Renata? She has clearly said that the policy is presently being reviewed.

Like that post of yours which was recently deleted by admin, you mean? But not before several people had read it and one suggested you might like to reconsider it in the cold light of day. Some people are indeed incapable at times of civil conversation .....

Yes frustrating, but great that it sounds like they will be open again soon, hooray!

Crikey, it sounds like you have had more than me. The most I've had at a time is four, mostly they are in ones or twos. The worst moment has been when I came to the bottom of a mug of hot chocolate and had what I thought was an undissolved lump of chocolate in my mouth, when it didn't dissolve I spat it out and saw it had wings :( :( :( Bleurgh. I have no idea at what stage it got into the mug :( That was the point when I thought I may have to get in a pest controller ...... haven't yet though. Oh and one night I went to bed and there was one on my pillow :( I've had the house around twenty five years and never had this problem before, but someone I know who lives in Sussex said he once had a house and had them every Spring, presumably when they came out of hibernation. ETA: Yes, mine also tend to be on windows, though not always, and yes mostly very still and dozy though the occasional one flies around the room.

Well given that cars completely ignore the double yellow lines on corners and park on them anyway, thus making it very dangerous for cars coming out of the road because they can't see what is coming (the reason for the yellow lines in the first place), I doubt it is going to make much difference unless somebody actually starts fining the people who park on them.

Is it on a loop? That's just barmy.

Thanks James, much appreciated.

Than what? The Dog or The Ivy House? The Dog, I hope you mean!!

Yep, the bus is usually already speeding away when the announcement kicks in. Ridiculous.
