The professionals always allow 10% extra for wastage, so Ladygooner and her assistant 'merlot', would be seen as the winners.

Has anyone tried them at a big holiday like Easter or Christmas? Did they have sufficient vehicles for your needs?

A year or two back I purchased a set of kitchen mixer taps from screwfix and after a couple of weeks they started to drip. Contacted screwfix and they replaced them, three weeks later same thing happened they dripped a third set was sent and they were fine. No consequential loss payment was made, the plumber had to do his job three times at my cost. I don't expect any other firm would do anything differently either. Sometimes life's a bus terd.

They found one in a HANDBAG!

I can vouch that, with age being my tutor, one's capacity decreases in memory, patience, cash flow, friends, alcohol absorption, hair, sight, hearing, and teeth. One's capacity with age increases for aches, pains and stiffness, curmudgeonly behaviour / grumpy old mannishness and use of the flush toilet. So far there is little to recommend this state of being, except perhaps the bus pass, carpet slippers, and cardigans for the tasteless, shapeless, and hapless male.

I thought it was introduced to save energy during war time, does it save energy? I believe in the 70s they tried to do away with it, but were prevented because of the Scottish farmers lobbying against it, but I might well be wrong as my memory is not reliable enough to back money on.

The plan was to see the jazz festival last Saturday night, I did not get there due to the blackwall tunnel being blocked and the friends who were spared the tunnel fiasco said it was a 'dire event' with appalling accoustics and the whole place decked out as a crap shopping mall. So we're not doing that again. It was very nice of everyone who took the trouble to explain the possible routes, thank you all once again.

I find the 'hour' a pain, changing digital clocks, and CH system, a drag. Can't we get rid of it and adopt to eurotime?

Yeah! That's the turn on, this world is short of Georgia's.

It sounds like a short holiday break Asset. A big thank you, to one and all.

Thank you for all your efforts guyz'n gals

I have to get to the O2 Dome and haven't a clue other than a minicab. How do I get there by public transport please?

Hello Microbite Have you an offspring called nibbler? How long were you 'lurking' for, until plucking up courage to join?

It would be useful to know the hotel's name and address in which this happened. For what it's worth you have my sympathy.

I am with David_carnell, it's no good if there is a brass-band givin' it wot for...........

toads eat slugs and so will ducks but you need to provide a bowl of water for the ducks to drink from afterwards.

As big as a tennis ball with a point on one side.

Dispatches was good in the early days, but I couldn't watch this episode for more than a few minutes, it was so tame. What has happened to that excellent programme 'Rough Justice', I wonder if it has been junked, for showing up a few of the glaring inadequacies of the judicial system.

Is the one in the crooked old hat the straightest?

Perhaps there should be a scuzbucket........... It would save the lounge getting cluttered if this thread and a few other dullish ones were tipped into it.

Yawn Yawn

It seems to me the Legion has deviated from the noble origins of supporting it's casualties, by supplying cheap booze at their bars for the alcoholics it tends to attract. I doubt many have ever seen khaki except in dads army.
