        I've been chewing this one over for the last couple of hours....

        I've been following the Tour de France and I'm getting fed up with hearing the commentators going on about the terrible weather the cyclists have endured ,there's no mistaking it,they have put up with horrendous conditions .Tonight I heard them say "at last,today summer has arrived":huh:Erm,what about about stage 1 and 2 ...You know that place 'up North' Yorkshire they call it...they've got short memories....

                    Annie.. I think it means the thread doesn't get 'old', and drop off the radar. Summat like that.

                      Sorry GA, I missed your question:dunno::snork:. A sticky thread is one we think will be used greatly and often so we "stick" it in a section on the page of a Forum subject where it stays static and you can find it straight away without having to trawl through all the normal Threads which will move down the page as other threads in that Forum are post in.:snork:

                      Grrrrr
                      Why when you pay for goods or service do we now have to listen to loads of moo poo about the internal mechanisms of the company, as an excuse why the service isn't being provided as promised?
                      We have ordered a fridge and freezer to be told after 2 weeks of waiting, we were told, the agreed delivery could not be met because the manufacturer could not meet the orders. The new delivery was set in approx 3-4 weeks time!
                      This information was wrapped up in who spoke to who in the office and every excuse under the sun and liberal blame including us who had the audacity to require a delivery date.
                      1 call to the manufacturer and a follow up call to the company resulted in delivery of goods next week!
                      Hopefully we will a kitchen to put it in though, as we are locked in a battle with a Tameside kitchen company who have told us that the kitchen units they have tried to fit in mismatched shades should not be rejected as the visibly different units only appear different due to .........the trees in the garden!
                      I know one day we will look back and laugh at this stressful time - I may even write a book - 50 shades of kitchen units! But right now I am finding it difficult to tolerate the rubbish from so called reputable established companies!

                        Thanks Shiney!
                        Yep we did! We agreed to cut down all the trees in the garden at their expense to prove the units don't match!
                        :scratch:They didn't want to do this! :snork:
                        Shame could have done with a few trees pruned back!

                          It's 9.50pm and one of my stupid neighbours is creating a racket with what sounds like a petrol strimmer! It's dark out there has he/she no sense! That comes after listening to a barking dog all day long. :wallbanging:
