its a bit weird isnt it ? Odd that something so basic and fundamental is shrouded in vagueness ... something else that bugs me is when I go to sign on In there eyes I am a customer ..... eh ? .... how is that so? ...do I buy anything from the job centre ? no .


We are also customers when we take a train journey . ok thats fair enough , we have to buy a ticket . ... still prefer the word passenger though ....



and another thing .... blah blah blah

My mother used to tell me off for saying Zero, because Zero is American, and Naught or as we now spell it Nought is English. So now I'm confused..

Only if you don't like doughnuts and prefer eating nothing. I'm afraid I'm not in agreement with you on this one Moos.

Slightly off topic, but it really bugs me when people say 020...7, not 0207. I know which way's correct an' everyfink, but it's still annoying.


Also, with mobile phone numbers, people who say their number in a really weird way, because they think it's more memorable. Unless it's relayed to me in the form of 5 digits then 6 digits, or at least 5 digits then 3 and 3, I'm left completely bemused.

    • Wow, well served with local supermarkets then…  Agree with ATM.. good c position to been mugged or cloned card - prob why not been considered before. Wasn’t there one outside post office and still  is2where people were abit nervous of using? Hope I am wrong but won’t see me rushing to use it…sure lots of folk will benefit thou. Not a great fan or user of Iceland but when it closed years ago people complained..  Guess they only b look at bigger sites - can’t recall an express one but a pity to those who frequent the store. Strange that Tesco can use it as local but Iceland can’t - guess it is  power of large supermarkets. Personally would have  loved an Aldi or Lidl but  clearly site to small. Only grocery stores left to come are Waitrose, Aldi, Lidl… 
    • I'm paying £31 pcm for full fibre 300, whatever that is. I'm not sure it's a particularly good deal now, but I did a comparison at the time I went onto it, and it was then. I don't have a landline any more, and my mobile is with iD, who piggyback off 3. I don't usually have any problems,  except once a few years back when the whole 3  network (?) went  down for quite a long time.
    • I have Plusnet too.   I recently (August) had some problems with WiFi connection on different days but and the turning off and turning on didn’t work.  The WiFi didn’t work for quite a few hours - overnight in one case but eventually rectified itself.   Would be interested to know how much other people pay for Plusnet. I also have a landline with them as the mobile signal is bad inside house.  That is with EE and I want to change from them to another provider.
    • That's terrible 🤬 Was it the same company both times?
