Doh - Whitten timber ,of course .I think the anti histamines may have disabled my few remaining brain cells . Thanks flocker .

I see Wickes do sell single panels but ?+++ cf to Selco . I feel I'm missing something here .Or perhaps I've moved into that advanced phase of life where everything requires a sharp intake of breath and a " How much ! "

malumbu ,I got some on line in the end . Agree with your comment about Shannons ,odd attitude .

Only one and a half needed ,but most outlets seem to sell in packs . Selco looks good but to save me phoning them ,can anyone tell me if they only sell to "trade" ? Looking for close boarded . Very grateful for anyone's input .

Thank you all for tips on bark and hayfever ! I ordered bark chippings on line in the end ,delivered in large cardboard box . re hayfever ,apparently vit c is a natural anti histamine . Difflam is very good ,but expensive ,it's " a locally acting analgesic and anti-inflammatory treatment for the relief of painful inflammatory conditions of the mouth and throat "

Thanks beansprout . And for tea bag tip ,think I've read about using tea bags for something else - sun burn ?

My eyes are too affected by high pollen count to google much . I want small chippings - cheapest ,best ? B&Q ? Lidls ??? Will be driven .

This forum is good for queries https://www.lemonfool.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11659&sid=8d421b463d27f5b7a1564e7f3cb29f85 .I don't know if they would recommend a suitable lawyer but I'm sure they'd point you in the right direction . The Property MC sound rather like bullies to me . I assume if you're a shareholder that there's a Residential Management Company .You could look them up on Company House and see what the asccounts are like ,be good to know if there's money at hand to do work .

A lot of people can't afford flashy cars, any holiday at all. So they can't choose to forgo them and spend the money on private education .

Such incisive comments .The EDF is such a joy these days .

ah ,I see what you did there Renata ......the root of the problem indeed .

Less of the balderdash ,Inbound . THe Highway Code has this to say about parking Parking (rules 239 to 247) Rule 239 Use off-street parking areas, or bays marked out with white lines on the road as parking places, wherever possible. If you have to stop on the roadside: do not park facing against the traffic flow stop as close as you can to the side do not stop too close to a vehicle displaying a Blue Badge: remember, the occupant may need more room to get in or out you MUST switch off the engine, headlights and fog lights you MUST apply the handbrake before leaving the vehicle you MUST ensure you do not hit anyone when you open your door. Check for cyclists or other traffic it is safer for your passengers (especially children) to get out of the vehicle on the side next to the kerb put all valuables out of sight and make sure your vehicle is secure lock your vehicle. It used to be a practice to leave a car in reverse gear when parked on a hill in the belief that this would counteract movement if the handbrake failed .I've no idea if this would work in practice ,but might be worth a go .

I was speaking to one of the gardeners heroically battling the weeds in the Sexby Garden . He told me that they now have only 5 gardeners .Down from 30 or 40 ,I'm unable to remember which .And I don't know over what period the decline has taken place .

For my benefit as an aged person, what does "I used to peg it down this road - far too sketchy." mean ? And for the benefit of others suffering from the noise and pollution on Barry Rd I continue to put in reports to Thames Water re noisy and broken manholes that resound with every passing vehicle . Link below for others in similar distress https://www.thameswater.co.uk/Help-and-Advice/Report-a-problem/Report-a-problem

All functions fully restored to card . So suspect Visa issues on Thursday as well as Friday .

"front wheel is angled outwards " is this really good advice ? Particularly in narrow roads where much squeezing past of vehicles goes on . The trouble with assumed poor parking is that it needs to be witnessed while taking place .Otherwise who knows what the state of play was when the car was left and what changes in car positioning have taken place .

Interesting . I had my card declined on Thursday late afternoon but was thinking this was a seperate issue to the outage declared on Friday .

"then just say that's the end of the matter" not that that's what was said . There's a difference between saying I don't want to continue discussing this on line and saying that's the end of the matter . Matters are dealt with ,life continues outside social media .Particularly if you've taken to heart warnings that this is exactly the kind of dispute that should not be discussed here.

It might take a while to investigate - I've no idea of staff involved or if they were working yesterday or had finished their shift before investigations could be made . I can't remember the detail but the description of events included JellyB's wife catching sight of the paperwork listing bookings and seeing only a few/lots of gaps .Who knows ,perhaps the book wasn't up to date and whoever is responsible for that wasn't around ? Would one of the C&G's first thoughts be "gosh ,better check out the EDF to see if there's a thread on this ? " And ,if they did so ,would they necessarily decide that the best thing to do would be to post ?

I believe the events that JellyB complained about only took place yesterday afternoon ? Could be wrong . Guessing that it might take a little time for staff to investigate and decide on action ,if any . I can see why it might be thought that they should go public with the outcome but it may be that they decide not to . As for JellyB - he/she has said that they want to draw a close to this thread .I know you feel differently RH . Who knows ,perhaps JB posted this thread in haste and has thought better of taking to Twitter . Maybe they've been in contact with Admin . I'm not going to assume that because they don't want to continue this on line that their orginal post about the lunch time events wasn't genuine or that the C&G aren't investigating and dealing .

Jellyb says "I don't wont to continue with this thread and want to draw a close to this matter." Rendel says "No mate, you don't get to say that" but accuses Alice of self righteously telling people off and acting as unoffical Admin.

Oh Rendel do stop it . I agree with a lot of your posts ,some I don't . Are you really going to fall back on the "personal feud " winge everytime I disagree with you ? And for the edification of other readers ( if there are any ) the "hate " thread Rendel refers to was me asking him to stop sending PM's . He had sent me a PM ,I had replied asking him not to PM me and he then promptly sent me another . Admin quite rightly deleted the thread - it was no more than a personal interchange between posters .

I agree with your points Joe . Just feel that jellyb posted in haste while reeling from what they felt had happened . Not wise but something I understood .
