where to put this?

just to say ive just had a tyre refit at kwik at dog kennel hill.nice bunch of guys. however, aack! my card failed to cough up the amount. embarrasing. so my partner decided to drop in and pay for it I walk the kids home. My bank would not let me take 20 quid over my limit, even when told as was..the two small children with no coats will have to walk aboout an hour to get home. after 30 years with that bank i 8 them. So i went back to the counter and told mr kwiky that my partner would pick up the car before 6. he said' how much are you short?' i told him 20 quid but not to worry we'll get home ok.

quote "dont like to see people in trouble if i drop 20 quid will your card work?" it did.

what they dont know is Im between payments gasping as i always do, 3 weeks and paid again. suprise coming their way.

busted, i thought it was an american expression no one would get.

i think what clinched it was, i was fascinated with how they balance the wheels.(didnt knw they did)i could also see that noway could they remove tyres without all that heavy grade machinary.so i was pain in ass client who asked a few questions about tyre changing, that to me was 'news'. so, when id taken receipt in , well before payment time I'd commented "nice team you have there". manager (guy who discounted me) cheerily had said "them?" "buncha..." "actually no, we all get on here there good fun to work with".

Really rare.

    • Does anyone have the same problem.  I am 79 and have sent my licence renewal form to the DVLA on the 21st October 20 which they have received. I have just received a letter from them them dated 22 December 2025 today saying my licence is with their Drivers Medal Department and will be processed as soon as possible. This follows my telephone call to them after three weeks  from the October date as I had not received my licence back as per their time frame. I also followed this up mid December after finally getting through but did not get any confirmation as to what the situation was. Is this normal practice? On the 7 January 2026 I will be unable to drive as my licence has not been sent back. I have no medical issues and meet all the requirements with no problem as per previous renewals in fact nothing has changed health wise.Their the letter states if they need any more details from me, they will contact me directly. Why has it taken 2 and a half months get get this far? Is this some sort of ploy to get older drivers to finally give up their driving by making life difficult as possible.  Has anyone else experienced this. Read Medical not Medal.
    • You're being a little disingenuous here. It is simply not true that "the area should remain suburban 2/3 storeys maximum" because: -> the area the development is in isn't 2/3 storeys maximum today - as evidenced by the school on the lot adjoining the development to the south, as well as the similarly-sized buildings to the north and east.  -> the SPG doesn't preclude this type of development anyway. This "genie in a bottle" stuff is desperate barrel-scraping. Now you're raising the spectre of a 9 storey building on the Gibbs & Dandy site (the chance would be a fine thing) but also arguing Southwark is too slow to approve things and opposed to development more than 2-3 storeys!
    • The sites in question though are not comparable to the builders yard by the station and less likely to be granted planning permission for 9 storey buildings. The builders yard fronts on to the railway line on one side and virtually no residential property surrounding on the other sides. The Gibbs & Dandy /Kwikfit and ED trading trading estate are surrounded at close proximity by residential, and in the case of the latter a Grade II building, so there would more stringent height restrictions. Both these sites are tired and sad looking, and in need of development to provide much needed housing.
    • Not sure if this is any help but was initally told to use google chrome as the browser and the code was the reference. However the person at Southwark parking took pity on me and did it for me
