Random Irritations

Badgers returning to the course and starting to rip the course up again 

Haven't you got a member that can shoot them?

Playing well this morning and then missing two birdie putts inside five feet on the last two holes. Just as well there isn't a cat here in the office....

I've seen your kicking foot. Almost as good as the standing one. No danger the cat would get kicked

You can’t ........ well, it’s not legal too anyway. They have destroyed parts of our course , and, whilst some members have offered to get rid of them, others have threatened to report those who do (apparently shooting them can get you sent down for 6 months) . We had to wait till the damage got so bad that the authority would issue a permit so that they can be caught and removed. Our application has been in for ages.......

Best to make sure that whoever you choose gets a shot on the hole they're damaging 😁

Is (or should) loyalty be a two way street?

How many customers of these national service providers are staying with that provider out of loyalty and how many haven't or cant be bothered, to find an alternative and then claim 'loyalty' when its nothing more than a by-product

Just cos I'm typing, how many customers didn't also get some kind of new business/introductory offer when they themselves joined or switched, but now complain because their special price has ended and they see someone else is getting a deal of some sort


Although I agree that its an irritation to have to keep changing suppliers to keep getting deals

Golf Clubs offering discounts to new members !! A member for 20 years - so is it best to let membership lapse and then rejoin after a months or so?

At ours, you must be away for at least 2/3 years to qualify for a new members discount, if per chance, there still is a discount scheme in operation.

The same broker got my car insurance as repeat business after I'd checked some prices; they looked after me, I showed loyalty.

They are absolutely ripping the proverbial out of me over the bike; a 133% hike is totally unjustified in my book. I've proved I'm prepared to show loyalty with the car insurance, have they shown me any?

The very fact that I can get reinsured WITH THE SAME INSURER via a comparison website for well over £100 less than they've quoted me for renewal tells me all I need to know about their customer loyalty; they'll find out about mine when the car renewal comes in.

I always check renewal, cars, home insurance etc etc.

The wife's car insurance has just come through with an increase of £100 from the AA. Quick check round and a switch to Tesco and saved at least the £100. According to Martin Lewis website it pays to check 23 days before renewal as closer to the date the price goes up - did it on 23 days and have
made the saving.

My house insurance hasn't risen in a number of years... When my car insurance came through my broker said it had risen due to a change in circumstances [now retired]… So had a bit of a whinge and ended up paying same as last year... As I said earlier it would seem from my son's experience it's two wheelers that are in the firing line presently...

:rofl:

Seriously ?

Have you ever heard Jason Cundy on there , or that Durnham bloke , both especially Cundy are very much anti Liverpool and Brazil in the morning loves his Man Utd - it’s all down to which team the presenter supports

Don’t think I have ever seen anyone suggest a radio station has favouritism and I’m confused how they could ?
