Seriously ?
You want to argue about how much free costs?

Pardon?

Bought a butter dish for my son for Christmas. It came today, you would struggle to get a Dairylea triangle in it. So The Range shop where it is from said you can return it to the shop. No. Because the order number has 7 numbers and not 6 toh cannot return it to the shop
So to return a butter dish that is not fit for purpose as it is to small. I have to pay to return it. Why?
So after a 20 mile round trip, and numerous emails I am still stuck with a bloody rammel butter dish.

I would sympathise but equally, that's a shocker of a Christmas present . You've got away with one there

Buy him a pottery experience day - he can make his own to his exacting specification (or yours!!).

You can thank me on Boxing Day

I have a sound box for the tv. Nice bit of kit, really helps give a solid sound in comparison to the tv speakers. I've had it for years, done us well (it's similar in size to an old style video recorder or a slightly bigger sky box. It's now starting to be inconsistent, not always kicking in when the tv turns on. I do a workaround but my wife can't be fagged with that and she is running out of patience with it. I fear it may be gone within days.

I've tried different connections, no difference. I have looked at alternatives and most seem to be bars which are long and noticeable. My wife wants minimal, not a bar. Weedy sound is coming my way

The one that Sky sell sounds very similar. I have one and it does a good job. Normally some good deals to be found on them.

It's been a morning...
Alongside the golfing irritations is the total lack of awareness many people show..
Had to dive into Tesco on the way to golf...in and out in 5 minutes.
The 300+ space car park was virtually empty as it was before 7am....
As I'm approaching my car I spy a Passat pulling into the space next to me..I'd gone in front first, he'd pulled in through the other side so we were driver's don't to driver's door
For some inexplicable reason he'd stopped so close to me that he really struggled to get out.....I just looked at him ..totally bewildered. I didn't bother trying and hopped in the other side and slid across....
There were 20 spaces within 20 yards.....why?
Just why?

A mate of mine once had a similar experience with his wife driving....empty car par and she goes and parks next to, and too close to, another car. Afterwards, when he asked why she had chosen to park there, she said..."because the other car looked lonely".

Banksy, I’ve never really liked his stuff, far too cliched for me.

My wife was in a car with her friend driving who did exactly as you describe but managed to hit the only car in the car park.
She was trying to be "tidy".

Bet Banksy is gutted to hear that

We're not going to make it are we...we're doomed

I've always wondered if that's what people think. I'm very OCD about where I park and will literally park furthest away with spaces all around so some numpty doesn't damage my car by opening their door against it. Return to find both sides now have cars parked and usually some fat plonker who no way can extracate their fat ass without leaning their door against mine. Does my head in.

Phew. That feels better!

One more advantage of EVs.
The charging bays always seem to be extra wide
