I must say that the spectacle of a whole group of people, who claim to hate threads going off topic and to be upholders of the civilised tone of the forum, ganging up simultaneously to take the thread off topic, signal their own virtue and try to bully Sue is somewhat enervating.


ETA I don't include Buddug in said group, who had a right to respond as she felt, rightly or wrongly, she was being attacked and had a right to reply.

Only one condescending supercilious PITA on this thread, Buddug, so don't take any further notice of it.


Well done for your TRUE neighbourly spirit.

This is a great way to show some police presence in the area, we had the same dropped off my police.

Re Smartwater - isn't there an annual subscription fee you have to sign up to in order for them to maintain the record of which "watermark" is yours? I looked into it (several years ago, so may have changed) and after 12 months they charge you a subscription fee. If you don't pay, they delete your record from their database. Would be interested to know if this has changed in which case I will look at it again.

I learn something new every day even at my great age, Lynne. However, I am always eager to increase my vocabulary.


Are I right in saying that it is no longer politically correct to refer to somebody as an "ugly fat bastard", as you could in the good old days before all them hipsters first moved into ED and you could smoke all day to your hearts content in one of the old fashioned boozers that ain't there no more?

'Lookist' is the word I know, as opposed to 'uglicist'. And I think Lynne was being very 'tongue in cheek', parodying previous posters. But you are in no way horizontally challenged, Mr Tring. Though you may have over-indulged in the mince pies this year. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, another neighbour is also being brought in to view the identity parade. Looks like this pair of burglars have been hard at it far and wide for quite some time. Often, just two burglars can be behind 95% of burglaries in an area, and putting them away for a while can bring great peace of mind to a neighbourhood. I shall keep you all updated. It's not often these bastards are caught.

To divert again, (sorry Buddug) Anglo -Saxon law allowed common abuse, as long as it wasn't provably untrue,and this, roughly speaking, has continued. Thus you could call someone ugly, and this is mere abuse, but not a bastard, if they were born in wedlock.


Good luck, Buddug.

    • 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. I cant fault him.
