Specifically EDF posters/readers who should be working but are busy on here? How many man/woman hours are lost because you can't resist getting the next word in? Apart from Foxy who says he is retired, don't the rest of you feel like you are stealing from the well being of the country for generations to come? And some of you will complain about the trains/buses when the only place you are going is to 'work' to do what? Read/write on the forum.
I always smile at "X is costing the economy Y" stories, as the figures quoted are simply plucked out of the air. For instance, killjoys always turn up on TV whenever there's a big 'snow day' to say how much people skiving off are costing the economy. A quick Google reveals quoted figures of ?1.2bn a day, ?500 million a day and, hilariously, ?679 million a day. It's all nonsense. Skiving the odd day does not "cost the economy".

I can't bare people who won't live and let live over a snow day. After all it's only once in a blue moon! Some people are just members of the killjoy police. Retired here so free to look for bargains, get angry at the world and drink copious glasses of wine and pints of beer.

They were arsey with the receptionist, asked stupid questions, didn't listen to the answers, talked too much (mainly about how important they were) and attempted to bullsh@t rather than lose face when they didn't know the facts.

There was a terrific Monday "snow day" about six or seven years ago. There was no traffic, so we walked down the middle of the road to the Bishop at lunchtime for a swift pint. By three o'clock it was packed. Ended up spending all afternoon there.

It was a wonderful day - no traffic (until about 8pm), people ski-ing (yes really) along Park Hall Road, his Lordship managed to get from work as far as the Dog in the Village and then 'had' to stay there for a few pints and a spot of dinner until he could get a lift the rest of the way home...

This was February 8/9th 2009. It was the heaviest snowfall London had experienced in 19 years. We had well over a foot of snow outside, I remember because on the sunday evening I left the spiritualist church in Bexley and could barely navigate my way home! It was horrific. The next day everything along LL was closed, apart from the pubs! I do hope we have a good heavy snowfall this winter but the long range outlook isn't looking hopeful.

Louisa was moaning her tits off on here when that snow fell. Complaining about everyone skiving and taking the day off


But now she's all I hope we see snow again, and not reminding us all what bad people we were

Oh for goodness sakes StraferJack stop spoiling things! The 'drag up posts from years ago police' are out in force tonight! It was just a bit of snow after all. I was a little irate at the time and in hindsight maybe a little short sighted over this one. Just to clarify I've mellowed over this since on reflection and wouldn't say no to some more snow.

So you come here... does the phrase 'busman's holiday' strike a chord?

Jeez,what is this 'loosing' malarkey? Am I going to have to look up the Urban Dictionary again like when I didn't realise septic was an American or is it that no one can spell losing?

    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm    
    • If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
    • We found a recommendation for Geek Electrics on a here after we wanted to have a electrical inspection of a property we are buying. From the very beginning through to the end Bob was responsive, helpful and demonstrated his knowledge. He has been an absolute pleasure to deal with.
