    Ah yes that is a good point Woo.

    Ours are younger and have gardeners in to do their front and main garden area but this bit near our greenhouse is shingled and...well like a jungle!! They have a dead tree leaning towards our greenhouse house too!

    Horsebox (7.5 ton) stopped outside and the lady passenger was sweeping glass out on to the road as somewhere they must have broken the passenger window,so now there is lots of glass which can get into horse's feet, dog's feet and bullocks feet when farmer gets them in weekly,

    I care about my horse but touth to someone else's !!!!!!!!! Edit(lady passenger)

    Any way i seen what was happening and now tis all cleaned up, and 5 minutes after cleaning it up a horse walks through where the glass would have been

      Sorry, No i don't have a horse, i was talking from the lady passenger's veiw as they were at a horse event and going home but they didn't think about sweeping glass onto the road where other horse's and animals will walk, but one day she may go for a hack down this road and then her horse may go lame dew to some one droping glass :mute:

        Bl***y postman !! I don't usually moan but I was expecting a parcel delivered by Royal Mail today.
        Since I don't spend my life sitting behind the front door waiting for someone to knock (I'm usually in the kitchen or more usually down the garden) I put a note on the front door saying "Please come around the back".
        It was on A4 paper and in big black letters but t
        he postman took no notice and banged and banged on the front door.
        He was lucky I heard it because I just happened to go into the front room to get something, so I did receive my parcel, but it was only by luck ...

        WHY did he think the note was there ?? It wasn't there for decoration !
        I pointed to it and asked if he could read and he said "our first point of call is the front door" ..... well all right, but why did he think the note was there ?
        I know he would have taken the parcel away, it's happened before ... and it's very annoying :mad:


        Now my moan is over and I'm glad to have got it off my chest. I can get on with my life now :smile: If I hadn't told someone it would have gone round in my mind all day ... so thanks for listening/reading :biggrin: and have a happy moan-less day :smile:

          I can sympathise with you. :grphg:

          We're very fortunate with all the postmen we have. There are a few places they can leave packages depending on the type of package and size and they always use them. If it requires a signature then they do search for us in the back garden (they get free plants for their garden as well). If we have any post that needs to go we just put it sticking out of the letterbox and the postman takes it.

                  Pretty much what the Administration Team Lead said when I spoke to him, didn't help though I now have to wait until end of October.

                    That appears as though you have similar media to us who try to stir things just for sensation. There are always people in all walks of life that try to tell others what they can and can't do even if it is patently ridiculous.

                    They used to be lumped in with 'silly season' stories but seem to be spreading because of social media. The cases mentioned also show that they were stopped because they were it was obvious that there was no direct offense. I'm pleased that I don't use social media or read 'news':scratch:papers!

                    In my day it was 'Jobsworth', which wasn't anywhere near as bad as people who want to object to everything.

                    With this song Jeremy added a word to the Oxford English Dictionary referring to a worker with more power than wit or wisdom. I heard him with his original version which wasn't quite as polite. :heehee:

                    He was an English teacher and singer songwriter and performing in S. Africa when I first met him, but got kicked out of the country in the early 1960's when he wrote a musical with a song in it that made fun of Apartheid. So he returned to England.

                      Just had am email through from 'Livi' which is the app where you can have an online consultation with a GP... except my practice from October will no longer be subscribing so yet another avenue to see a GP is shut down.
                      I think they want the system to crumble as it seems completely intentional to me
