I was in a card shop today. Boy, do they have all the bases possible covered. Father's day cards...


- for fathers

- for stepfathers

- for fathers to be ("a card from the bump" - I jest not)

- for the person "who was like a father to me"

- for grandads

- for grandads who are having their first father's day as a grandad

- for an uncle (???)

- for "my fianc?" (??????)

- from the dog

- from the cat

Bless him, but...


Kids like to do stuff and it's pretty harmless


Or rid ourselves of Easter and Christmas while we're at it

Me too. But when they are young can't you say no! Just told my teenager no, but then said why not bake me a cake.


Not a fan of mothering Sunday either as this is supposed to celebrate mother church.


Perhaps we should be nice to our parents every sunday!

Even that sounds creepy


But anyway, here we go


That card is a just odd, because who stands on a road (in silhouette) surrounded by sand dunes, in the middle of no-where saying "I love you, Daddy"


It should be followed by

"WTF are we doing standing in the middle of the road, what would mummy say abou that? You know how she's very strong on using the crossing points. I wonder if it's this along with other things that Mummy talks about and why you now live at Grandma's house"


Plus they look like they've levitated a couple of inches of the Tarmac

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest.
