Random Irritations

Parcelforce. Missed a delivery so looked at the options. Will they leave it in a safe place, no. Will they leave it with a neighbour, no. OK, what can I do then, you can have it delivered any weekday in working hours. But I work so that is no use. OK, you can have it delivered on a Saturday, that will cost you £12.00. That is a bit steep, what else can I do. You can choose another address but that will cost you £6.00. Anything else, you can pay the £6.00 plus a £1.00 admin fee and we can deliver it to a post offer. So, basically, if you work normal working hours, there is no way of getting a parcel force package delivered without paying them more money,

Mine get taken to the local sorting office and a can be picked up from there. Luckily for me the local sorting office is in the back of the local post office so effectively I just pick it up from there.
 
Driving in London. Traffic is a nightmare. So many restrictions nowadays that all the traffic is forced through a few main roads which have been severely reduced themselves because of cycle lanes.😡
 
When did fog lights become rain lights? I must have missed that one in the updated Highway Code manual. I lost count of the amount of clowns with their fog lights on in light drizzle today, no fog to be seen for miles.
And while I’m on it, any driver in a Highway Maintenance vehicle, it must say on the job application “must be an absolute twunt at driving”.
 
Thought of another re car lights. They only have one working on the left hand side so down the dark country lanes I commute on it looks like a motorbike. As it gets near you realise it's a bloody car and more often that not they're in your side of the road:mad::mad::mad:

Sadly the nearest depot to me is 30 miles away
 
Morons who drive cars without checking to see if the lights are working.

I had a silly incident a few weeks ago.

When I first get in the car at night the headlights come on automatically I drove for about 5 minutes before I realised that the lights were not on. I have really good night vision and the thing that finally made realise was the fact the dashboardlights were so bright, that and the lorry I had just overtaken flashing me.
 
On the motorists theme... Loons who have no idea that on motorways etc the same speed limit applies to all lanes, there is no slow lane

If your car is capable and conditions permit it... get a move on!

If you want to drive 15-20mph slower then use side roads

I can cope if they’re in the most left hand lane but if they’re in the middle or fast lane that’s when my blood boils. Thankfully undertaking isn’t illegal.

You're right but..........

'Undertaking' is the practice of overtaking a slower moving vehicle on its left-hand side (kerb side). While it's not strictly illegal to undertake on a motorway or dual carriageway in the UK, it can be extremely dangerous, and punishable if deemed to be careless driving.

If you want to buy one piece of CLS 38mmx63x2400 it will cost you £2.64.
If you buy a pack of 8 pieces of CLS 38mmx63x2400 it will cost you £21.12
A grand bulk saving of £00.00
 
Mrs Wolf has employed a window cleaner to do our windows no problem with that, he is a devout Iovahs Witness and again no problem with that I believe everyone has a right to their religion, beliefs and virtues in life... However whilst he was outside doing his windows his wife came. Along and was trying to read scripture to myself and Mrs Wolf telling us Iovah had the answers and we should see his ways.... Politely asked her to refrain from said preaching as we're not into the teachings of Iovah, the lady went out to speak to her husband and who stopped cleaning our windows and stated he couldn't work for people who mock his faith.. All I did was say I appreciate her beliefs but ours are different... Oh well got my windows done for free as he refused to accept money off such hethans.

Yep I know there are guidelines to follow which I always do when undertaking. I don’t just swoop violently to the left and gun it, honest. :)
