When people with money simply move out of the centre as the crime is so bad, leaving just the scum behind so it gets worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainagain Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Yep, who’d have thought slashing Police budgets would have had this effect? The worst thing is when police budgets are cut, the crime figures often actually go down as there’s less police detecting crimes. myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some bits of it are more expensive than others, and the whole is more expensive than almost anywhere else. Still a shithole, though.

Never let anything go in person if you were paid via paypal as there's no means of verifying you sent it/they collected* and paypal will give the money back if the buyer puts in a claim. Folding cash money only if it's a collection item. .* selfies of you and the buyer don't count as far as ebay/paypal are concerned, only a Royal Mail or courier receipt and a tracking number. strangeangel, AlsoMike and myglaren 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beko1987 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Had a spot of enthusiasm at lunchtime and went to paint a hoover chassis. Can I find my tin of paint? Nope! I've seen it in a few places too so that job is parked until I get the enthusiasm to empty 3 or 4 places it could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remspoor Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I have "lost" several folders full of photos recently. Plus an article I was writing for a club magazine. Seemed to happen when I have sat at the PC watching some sort of TV OR Youtube. Ten falling asleep during the not so interesting video. There is no trace of the files, recovery programmes cannot find a thing. Maybe it is a file shedder I have, which was on the right click option. Now it is removed in the hope I if I do right click in my sleep I do not do so much damage. myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one of these Sons of Suburbia types cut in front of me when I was filtering, then slow down to walking pace holding me up (and I don't exactly filter quickly). My anger soon turned to hysterical laughter, however, as the gap between the two lanes narrowed and the wannabe outlaw got wedged between a white van and a Range Rover ? Naturally I was only too happy to do the decent thing and offer my services as a witness lest the stupid bastard decided to deny responsibility later on.
