Thanks Huguenot. Couldn't do it yesterday anyway as spilled tea over my laptop when surprised by the doorbell and had to let it dry out - how lucky is that that it still (at the moment anyway!) appears to be working :) So - Goodbye John Lewis cookie ...... ETA: Done it, thanks, that was easy (and useful to know for the future).

Virtually every room in my house. Finished the extension yet, KK?

I've had various problems with John Lewis in the past, including with their so-called "customer service" department, once with a fridge-freezer and once with a dishwasher. Can't bring myself to recount it all again, but it was extremely frustrating each time. I would still use them in preference to places like Comet, but they definitely lost their special place in my heart :)) (And actually what's driving me bloody mad now is that just because I've been on their website, now when I go onto completely unconnected websites I get John Lewis adverts showing stuff I've been looking at online, and I can't find a way to get rid of them (6) Richer Sounds deserved to be top. Lakeland customer service is excellent, but going round one of their stores is like descending into the seventh circle of hell, especially if you have the misfortune to be in Bromley.

I think this is brilliant - great script, great acting and totally believable. Haven't watched this week's yet, was that the final one then?? :-S

sophiesofa Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Anyone else experienced this? xxxxxx I once came home to find a note "Parcel left in bin." They had left it in my wheelie bin on top of the rubbish :)) Luckily it wasn't a collection day ..... Another time a book I had ordered didn't arrive so I phoned to find out why, and was told it had been left "on my wall" - not surprisingly, it was nicked, given that "on my wall" is right next to the pavement in full view. The funny thing was the book was called (wait for it) "How To Get Things For Free." This is absolutely true. At least the thief must have had a good laugh when s/he opened it, though I doubt they found the book very interesting :)) Neither of the above was due to Royal Mail or Parcelforce, they were both private couriers.

I went in there once to look at the price of a coat, and walked straight out again. Didn't have time to notice whether the assistants were sniggering about my age behind my back. :)) ETA: I will go into places like Top Shop to look around, and yes I'm aware that almost everybody else is younger, but it's never even crossed my mind, anywhere, ever, that a shop wouldn't want me to be seen carrying their bags because I don't fit their usual customer demographic.

That's so brilliant and also so funny. Don't know why, but it reminds me of Del Boy falling through the gap in the bar :)) Pity the mugger when his mates get to hear about it (or rather, don't - serves him right).

Spent the day in the garden yesterday, amassing huge amounts of out-of-control climbing stuff cut down. Changed, washed twigs and dead leaves from hair, went to library to get brown bags for said huge amounts of stuff. Library had "run out" of garden bags. If I had a bonfire in my tiny garden it would probably burn my house down, not to mention all my plants, so now I have a massive pile of stuff I can't immediately dispose of (only a tiny part of it will fit into my green garden bag). How can they run out of bags? Why didn't someone notice that they didn't have many left, and order more before they ran out? Autumn (and to a lesser extent Spring) is surely the time of year when these bags are in highest demand? (6)

Surely he's not supposed to have a table permanently on the pavement? Why can't he just bring it along on Saturdays?
