That’s quite an insulting comment.

We have not been happy with ClubV1/HowDidIDo for some time now - from the perspective of managing competitions and membership. We like BRS as it has an easy data gathering capability. Club Systems International ( owners of ClubV1/HowDidIDo) have recently been very aggressive in their pricing...

There is a bright side to most situations!

An update really to the parcel sage ordered on 12 Dec for 3-5 day delivery. Got anther email this morning to say that if I didn’t collect within two days the package will be sent back to the senders. It seems that the collection point is York, some 45 mins drive away. After the normal merry...

Me too. I think the ex military amongst us will recognise being told ‘ If you are 5 minutes early, you are already 5 minutes late’.

We occasionally get Hull City footballers who always seem to use a buggy. We do have Hull KR rugby league players as members. They walk and tend to carry all year.

We did a review of doctor note weilding members about 4 years ago ( just after Covid) . Shocked to find that circa 30% of members had them, often dating back many years. We considered whether they were still valid and whether we should require them all to be ‘renewed/ reaffirmed’. Fairly...

I recall buying them from my part time job wages earned from each weekend on the local pig farm when I was 14/15. One & six or two bob perhaps.

I started my ‘foreign muck’ journey on Vesta Chow Mein , I think in 1966/67.

This post has brought back a random memory. In 1972, my girlfriend ( now wife of 50+ years) had her first Chinese meal in a restaurant on the market square. Having had a very conventional miner’s family upbringing, ‘foreign muck’ hadn’t previously been in her diet. She did manage to get out...

I think the comment above is extremely useful. I have relatives who put their house into their children’s control under a trust, in total belief that the local authorities cannot access the asset if they wanted/needed to. I took legal advice on this possible action over ten years ago to try...

I had a company leased BMW 520 that needed a self levelling component, BMW were transitioning between two major suppliers and the car was off the road for 7 months. BMW paid for a 530 from Enterprise for the full 7 months. They were in so much spares procurement issues at the time ( 2012 ish)...
