    At the pumps...

    Indeed ...... I wouldn't have, particularly if I was having a bad day 8) I can be most obstinate at times, & have in the past insisted that both the police and Customs & Excise Weights & Measures Inspectors be summoned. On checking with a manager or 'head office' they always back down ...

    What can you say?

    Little sh*ts such as these have IMO no place in a supposedly civilised society, whether incarcerated or not; punishments for crimes such as this should be along the lines of those still used in the Middle East. Incl televised in the news, covered by national media & broadcast on the...

    Copper Olives

    In general, I agree with what you're saying Softus, but local merchants don't offer the convenience of mail/online ordering. Yes,they may be local. Some may even be good. Some counter staff might even understand english rather than just grunt 8) but they aren't open at 10pm on a...

    British gas interview

    An excellent tip from Agile ..... good one Tony. Yep,its basically 'role play'. We used to do something similar when I worked (briefly) for a main car dealerership and it was a quiet day. One salesperson 'pretends' to be a customer, and other sales people practice at dealing with him/her...

    Fitting an isolation valve

    Hello all, Simple enough question. I'm fitting a new bathroom but whoever fitted the existing bathroom didn't put any isolation valves on any of the supplies either to the bath, the basin or the toilet; so I'm doing this as a matter of course to make things easier in the future. The...
