I guess that's the difference between a family BBQ (as above thanks binkylilyput) and a blokes mates BBQ - buy beer, buy meat,go to light BBQ and no charcoal so drink beer then amble to corner shop for charcoal where more beer is bought but forgets charcoal to mates amusement when gets back followed by more beer drinking,trips to get charcoal and yet more beer before eating a semi cooked burger 12 hours later, throwing up due to alcohol and sunstroke then blaming it on the dodgy bag of peanuts billy bought with him ...


Perfection .... who needs side salad as if carlsburg did BBQ's they would probably be the best BBQ's in the world ...

    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.  
    • Sorry if I’m being slow but there’s no point in having a gate then is there?  Would have thought it was basic manners to respect someone’s property 
    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open.
