    If your division of Slurry Council is the same as ours, they will. Tighter than a duck's backside.

      Mine comes under Woking. Since the yellows kicked the blues out a couple of years ago they have proved to be at least as incompetent as their predecessors!
      Collections are done under contract to a 3rd party so likely mired in bureaucracy and ridiculousness. They recently admitted that in their brand new car park they can't charge for EV car charging...

            Only a slight moan. The numbers have rubbed off from my Tesco Clubcard so I phoned the number on the back to order a new one. After a whole series of 'press...' I got through to the robot that says it is there for me to order a new card. :hapydancsmil:

            Guess what? It wanted me to enter my card number into the phone :doh: :heehee:. So I did the usual - do nothing and wait. Normally after two goes at asking these robots put you through to a human slave but I had to wait until it asked three times. I then got through to another robot that said I was in a queue and it would be quicker to do it online. Two seconds later a human slave was on the line and sorted it all out quickly. :biggrin:

            I shall receive my new card in 3 - 10 working days. Rather a wide time scale. :scratch:

              What annoys me is when you go on certain websites you have to check a box to say you are not a robot and start looking for traffic lights etc. In pictures.

              But these same companies are quite happy to palm us off with a robot when we contact them.

                I had to take Bella cat to the vet, she seemed to be having trouble swallowing.
                We were in with the vet about 10 minutes or less.
                Bella had pain relief injection for sensitive tooth.

                Cost - £86.66 :mad:

                  Oh Rishi, you numpty. Instead of cancelling your meeting with Maximos, why not show the man some respect and go ahead with the chat. He came.over to the UK from Greece, and youve just brushed him off. Your job as PM is to listen to people who you dont agree with. Youve shamed the UK. Good luck with next years elections.

                    Vets and dentists - some of the biggest crooks going.

                      You missed out car repair and service centres.
                      Insurance means they can charge whatever they like.

                        Suppose we should be fair and add bankers and estate agents to the list too.

                            Things went massively downhill when you left - in fact, it looks like you were keeping them all in check! :biggrin:

                              And not least, but er, last.. the undertakers. Unbelievable what they charge.

                              I thought our coppers in Niagara Region were dumb, "Niagara Regional Police Vow to Change Methods of Recruiting" were the headlines after one of them got into a snit with the other and shot him.

                              But here's another - funny but does make one wonder..

                              "British inquiry finds serious failings at hospitals where worker had sex with more than 100 corpses"

                                Ah, the religion... the cult that is the NHS... it has done more damage to itself than any political party could ever do and sadly that headline is only one example.
