LATEST MOAN FROM YOU AND ME 2019

I always record it and watch it next day. Can't stand all the waffle so I can FFd through it and just watch the play.

Did love Tony Romo though. He's a better pundit than he was a QB!

 

My moan is: Waiting at the ONE checkout at Wilko, they opened one more, now who gives the right for the selfish people at the back to rush forward, one guy tried and I stepped in from of him.........probably a Yellow Card offence

 

Yes so watch it next time matey

 

I was in line behind a lady who decided to amuse herself by reading the magazines on offer. She licked her finger before turning every page. When she started to put it back, I asked what she thought she was doing! She denied putting her spit on the pages so I asked her if she wanted me to share my pictures with social media. She bought the mag, and I never did have any pictures

I cannot understand that type of behaviour!

 

Here's three...

I received my house buildings and contents renewal advice from Churchill this morning.

The "Loyalty Penalty" applied was an extra 17%.



They aren't on their own, I guess most insurers do the same and rely on the fact that so many renew without checking, that the number that don't renew, is more than offset by those that don't query and just pay up. They are always willing to reduce it if anyone complains as I always do. But I decided this year, enough was enough. I went on line and sorted it out with LV and got the same cover for 11% less than I paid Churchill last year. It was quite painless, after filling in the documentation, providing my bank name, account number and sort code, the policy documents I downloaded from the pdf e-mailed me. Job done.

I phoned Churchill and politely told them I wasn't renewing. Of course the guy on the other end started to go into the prepared nonsense about, "as a valued customer, on this occasion....."

I interrupted and said. "Let me stop you there. Don't take this personally, but Churchill blew their one and only chance with the 17% increase, I've cancelled the direct debit."

There was a silence, followed by. "Thanks for letting us know."



I renewed my driving licence on line a few days ago. It said on the website it might take a few days, but it arrived yesterday. There was an instruction to cut the old one in half and return it to the DVLA in the envelope provided. I was going to cut it up and put it in the bin, then thought no, "I'll do what I was asked to do." So I cut the old one in half and put in the addressed envelope provided. I then noticed I'd have to put a naffin' stamp on the envelope!...So I followed my first instinct..

Who thought up that stupid idea?



This one is funny.

A TALE OF, "THE LADY OF SHALLOTS."

Due to her disibility, my wife rarely goes food shopping, so I get it each week, (I'm quite happy to do it), for which she provides me with, "the list." This is never the same each week and always involves visits to different shops. Occasionally I might get the wrong thing, because of an unclear or confusing description of the odd item on, "the list,"
This doesn't, "absolve me of any blame," as I'm told, "You knew what I meant!"
On other occasions, I'm sometimes "accused" of not getting something that was on, "the list" or getting something that, wasn't. This happened last week. After completing all the shopping, I usually throw, "the list," away, but this week I kept it.

On my return from shopping, as she was putting everything away, in "the right place" (I've no idea which they are) in a cupboard, a particular shelf in the fridge, or "the right" drawer in the freezer, the conversation went like this.

"You've got shallots and they weren't on, " the list."

"Yes they were."

"No they weren't."

So I produced the list which had shallots on it.

She looked at it for a moment.... Then said keeping a straight face.....

"This isn't the right list!"

I told her, "In future, I expect 'the list' to be signed and dated."



I won't tell you what she said.

But it will be a long time before I stop occasionally calling her by her new title.

 

To be fair, the envelope is really for you to return the application form they send you if you don't do it on-line. I guess they aren't that generous.

 

Why would you need to reurn the old one. It's expired and no longer valid..

 

Here when you collected the new license from the Post Office (signed for), they asked for your old one, punched a hole in it and gave it back. Now, five years later, they don't even bother with that.

 

"Officialdom conducted by jobsworth is endemic in the Civil Service."

 

My moan is my local primary school.
It's gone from a really friendly ' village' primary to a money making machine
The head of the school appears to be not a headmaster/ mistress but a financial director!
