It's contagious, and it's official (aka Tiny Little Things That Cause You Irrational Joy)


Recommended Posts

John Lewis's technical support helpline and the people who work on it. If you buy a computer and keep the receipt you can call them when you have technical problems and you don't have to pay for it. It's like having your own IT helpdesk and they look after you like they've been practising on their grannies, which certainly works for me.

Unfortunately John Lewis's computer department gave me totally wrong info about something last week.


Don't think it was their tech support people though.


BTW are you sure their support is for an indefinite period? I thought it was just three months?

Sue, I asked that as I'm coming up to the three months and they said no, you can always call and we'll do our best to help. All good experiences so far on my side and it made returning the previous laptop easier as the faults were already logged in their system.

Oh, that's really useful to know, thanks!

Are you sure it wasn't actually sent by your niece?


I know kids are extraordinarily technologically advanced these days, but ....... ????

I'm sure as she was talking to me on the landline at the time and she could hear him chattering away to himself in the next room...

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
    • It's Inner London. You could move somewhere else?
    • They are people.  That's how people often behave.
