Can we as a nation stand up and say no more white washing.

Do you need white shirts? Not really. Any colour would work effectively

Do you need white socks ? Not really you could have a light grey sock

Do kids need white for school? Of course they don't! Asda do cheap coloured polos .. can have any of them as the school colour. Easier to keep clean

You don't need a white wash.

It's utterly ridiculous

Literally end up putting a white wash on every 3 days that's basically 1/4 full because they insist on white socks for the kids. Why? Why would you give children white socks?

Let's make a stand.

No more white washing
I stopped using white underpants a long time ago! 😯😳

Ill yet again. Banging headache, sore throat and all my limbs aching this time, must be a flu. It's like I don't have an immune system anymore. My little girl was ill over a week ago so I'm not sure if I got it off her, just a bit delayed, or whether I need to keep away from her so she doesn't catch it off me! 🙁
You sound like one of my work colleagues. Every time I speak to him he has one lurgy or another. He says he keeps getting from his kids as they go to nursery and school.

eBay time wasters

Item start price £80
Buy now £120

Would you take £60

No

What's lowest you would take

£120 if you want to buy now

Considering I sold a lower value part of the same system for £75 I'm not giving you the expensive one for £60

Oh "I'm the only one interested I see no watchers"

It's been online 2 hours you cheeky sod

Constantly being emailed by my energy provider every few months about needing to upgrade to a smart meter, when I don't need to upgrade to anything. About six months ago I complained and they apologised and gave me £30 credit on my account, yet they continue to send the same emails.

Realising that you cant have a conversation or start a thread on this forum about the Budget... because it will offend people
A bit of thread drift if I may. I like to watch the Budget - it’s quite entertaining. I do have a question about protocol that someone on here may know the answer.

As usual, there was a lot of shouting and noise and the Deputy Speaker had to call for order a number of times. Towards the end of the Chancellor’s speech she used a surname to warn a member about his behaviour, using the address of ‘Mr Perkins’ , apparently a surname is specifically used when starting the process of evicting him.

Question. Is this a common or a rare occurrence in the HofC and is it effective? (the speech ended shortly after so there was no further need for action.). Does it happen in the HofL?

I don't think evicting someone is that common. You can lose privileges, be banned for a few days etc so for all the bluster they don't like to push things too far. Warnings are usually enough.

HoL. Nowhere near as confrontational or tribal so this sort of thing doesn't really happen. Most of the bluster in the HoC is for show. No one watches the Lords so showboating would be wasted.

Scottish Water's TV advert telling us how good they are.
Why ? we have no other choice here in Scotland
Why not just spend the money repairing the infrastructure.
no one has a choice even with the privatized companies in England.. look on the bright side at least its not going to share holders and racking up huge debts to pay them.

I can back that up, it's South West Water in the Plymouth area, no option.

I had something similar years ago with a tiler. New bathroom and the tiler made a right mess cutting the tiles on the drive. Had to phone the company to get their tiler to come and clean his mess away. Some tradesmen do my head in at times.
