Random Irritations

Energy bills and 'deals'. My yearly deal is coming to an end, used Scottish power for years, they have always been the cheapest. Can I find anything anywhere near close to what I am paying today???!! Nope, best deal I can find is 45% more than I am paying today. WHY??!

Brexit ?
 
Is that one who is obese and one who isnt:unsure:
Every day is a learning day. I've never heard of this phrase before and I instantly thought height. My late uncle was about 6ft 2, his wife, my aunt is 4ft 10. I thought of them when I saw the phrase, although neither they nor I would ever have used it. Things are weird now ?

In exactly the same situation, I went with their 2 year fixed deal. Didn’t seem too bad, saves me the faff of loading all my details into a search engine.

Fingers crossed, my mechanic has it now, I hope to hear from him soon.
But I'm going to be looking for another car now,:cry:
Thanks for trying to help guys (y)(y)
Update- My mechanic has temporarily jammed in the release mechanism, allowing me to use it.:D
He recons it's an electrical control circuit problem, so waiting for an auto spark to check it out, when :unsure:

Turns out that the manual release lever bar isn't directly under the access point, it's about an inch away nearer the front, see photo :mad:.
Trying to get info about Hyundai car repairs or parts isn't easy :mad:

Ok, I'm with Bulb and they seem a decent bunch, BUT...
Since my leccy comes via National Grid through the same substation as my neighbours (who could be with any other suppliers), how does Bulb ensure all of the electrons delivered to my house are green?
I think this 100% green claim is frankly a crock of the proverbial.

Ask them directly if you think they're lying and advertising falsely .
I'm not sure but think it works in much the same fashion as household solar panels and wind farms feeding green power back into the grid.
But it's hard to tell the colour of electricity and gas at the best of times, but blue would be my preference :D:ROFLMAO:

This story was on Radio 2 last week. Seems a lot of firms aren’t being totally honest, passing off non green electricity as green by buying certificates on the cheap
 
Sat at my desk working like I have every day during lockdown whilst others are out golfing and enjoying the sun (See, do still have irritations) :p
 
If it's any consolation, we North of the border never stopped playing :D

To be fair (and I know that many of these people will have issues to deal with down the line) but the news stories, social media etc about how people are enjoying the sun on furlough, how people are meeting up with friends and family etc on furlough whilst I am sat at my desk as I have been throughout gets to me a bit. I know, totally irrational and I am in a far better place than most but when furlough is portrayed by some as a fun, paid holiday when the sun is out and people can meet up (I know it is not) it can get a little tiresome.
 
Listening to callers in to David Lammy earlier on LBC - the rationale given by some around not getting vaccinated made me despair...especially when members of the black community linked their reluctance or refusal to be vaccinated with their life-long experiences of racism...

As Lammy pointed out - if the black community doesn't 'up their game' on this and there is a 3rd wave - he knows who is going to be blamed - and he knows that the blame might be being appropriately directed - at least in part. So frustrating - but I guess we are seeing present and real an issue that affects us all of the racist seed that has been sown over the decades.
