Latest moan from me and you!!!

Michael Fish used to try to do that

 

Oh ha ha Kandy, yup, admit I am one of the worst spellers known to man!Artic driving daughter just off the phone to me.PURPLE as 2 hours late delivering as there have been 8 crashes that she's been held up by, between Edinburgh and Swindon......the joys of Sunday drivers! Photo of crash this morning on M6 and yes that is a car hanging off the bridge! God help her as we haven't even started with the really bad weather yet and the joy that brings with idiots who ignore the likes of snow and ice.

 

We thought she's an Ice Road Trucker

 

It's nice all year round, different place to sleep every night , I love the over sea bit the best, worst bit is that its -10 out side and the night heater packs up when your in the middle of nowhere in Sweden

 

Mr Namaste and I have just wandered down the High Street to our local Post Office. It's run by a husband and wife team who put their heart and soul into their job. My OH had forgotten to bring a slip of paper on which he had written the dimensions/ requirements for an *Indian Visa photo which we've got to get for next February. It's 2" x "2 - not passport size for a start. AND India charge a rip off £92 for the privilege of entering their country. That's a poor place that can't feed its people ( so WE give them financial aid) but can send a space ship off to Mars.... so that's RANT ONE .
Our lovely Postmistress knows exactly what we need, duly takes our photos, prints and cuts them to size and puts them in a little wallet - 2 x £7.50. She also advises us that the Post Office credit card is the least expensive card to use abroad in case we need to withdraw cash and to take Sterling as opposed to US dollars as this is what India prefers - so we will get a better bartering deal. She gives us an App. pack and forms to take away and browse over. If we go ahead, she will check to make sure the forms are correctly completed.
I said " don't let them take this PO away from us in Battle as you give us such a great service".
"Thank you" she said, "but they are squeezing the very life blood out of PO's now and my husband and I are working here for less than the minimum wage."
She is off to London in the morning to attend a campaign seminar to prevent the closure of local Post Offices. It would probably be shoehorned into the little Tesco's Express on the edge of town a quarter of a mile away and have nowhere near the facilities or expertise that is covered by her and her husband who are so knowledgeable and helpful.
AND DOES THIS GREEDY GOVERNMENT GIVE A TOSS??

No

 

Hi Mr Shiney,
only entering India at Cochin, Kerala( to do Yoga) and then a domestic flight up to Delhi where we get a flight up to Kathmandu, Nepal to meet up with some Nepalese friends,

That really makes me cross when you cannot get round a store for all the displays, or people standing in groups chatting, chat away, just move to the sides and tuck your trolleys in.

 

I hate it when one of our bins isn't emptied because they don't bother to turn up to empty it. Liverpool City Council have just changed our weekly bin collection to every fortnight. I put out the green bin which is for garden waste and this wasn't emptied but the blue bin which is for cans, bottles and cardboard was emptied.

I know there wasn't anything in the green bin that shouldn't have been in there so I reported the fact it hadn't been emptied. The council sent me an email saying they'd look into it and to leave the bin on the front pavement outside for the next 3 working days. If it isn't emptied in the next 3 working days they say, then it won't be collected for a fortnight!

Ok moan over!
