B&Q being idiots. Our shower/bath mixer that we've had just over a year has failed (water not hot enough) - something to do with a 'cartridge' but you can't get replacement cartridges for it, so we need the whole shower replaced. Under warranty but they told us we need to bring them the old one in order to get the replacement. So we need to pay for two separate plumber call outs to take the old one out and fit the new one a day later? Don't be stupid - we'll take the replacement, have the whole job done in one go, then bring the broken one back to you. No, they won't have that. We have to buy the new one outright and then return the old one for a refund. Now I wonder if there might be complications when it comes to getting the refund?
Victoria plumb are worse
They offer 5 year warranty think it was but only if you register.. never got the email tbh ..but also I hate registered warranty it should be automatic
Anyways one tap went in shower they don't do spares? It was just the handle part
Had to order a new tap
May have accidentally sent it back with the broken tap .. whoops

People that park their BMW in front of the car wash and then going in buying a token. Coming out a long time later with a coffee and a croissant.
I am tempted to get out and open a couple of his doors and the boot.

Had similar yesterday, I had parked up to grab something from petrol station shop. Parked away from everything as there no spaces to park properly so just parked near the air thing but further down.
Go to leave and someone decided to pull up and park right outside the shop, so it meant having to wait for the person using the pump to finish, pay and leave
People just have no awareness.

EasyJet sending repeated emails urging you to get to the airport early due to restrictions etc. and when you arrive at check on 2.5 hours before the flight, being told that check in doesn’t open until 2 hours before the flight resulting in mass queues and hordes of passengers blocking the entrance to the bag drop. Clowns.
Oh and now a mass scramble as check in opens.

Just got rid of my 5th wasp’s nest of the year, 3 of them in the same place. Didn’t realise I could still run that quickly.

EasyJet announcing boarding 15 minutes before arriving passengers start leaving the plane we are about to board. Muppets.

How long before cyclist start demanding special lanes on motorways. If they can say it is ‘green agenda’ then they will get their way too…

They make the vast majority of their passengers suffer like this in an attempt to cope with the small minority who insist on being late.
- Tell us to get to the airport early.
- Tell us to go to the gate before they are remotely ready.
- Start "boarding" before the plane is ready and make us queue up like cattle in the bridge.
The few who are late never seem to get punished. If the plane took off without them perhaps they'd learn.

I think the bit about 'posession of Clas A drugs' might be significant!

I see a day when cyclists will have superhighways and ICE vehicles won’t be allowed (maybe non-ice, self driving vehicles where you can snort some coke at the back)
