A new £7.99 handle from Screwfix. They have a variety of different fixings so it will almost certainly work for you. On the Haynes scale, it’s one star stuff.

Supernaut Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Driving through Edinburgh in a big, slow, cumbersome van. I was sticking to the left lane in order to continue down the street. Crossed a roundabout and with zero warning, my lane was a bus lane. Ended up sat with the indicator on as nobody let me out and buses and taxis gathered behind me. Have to drive squeaky clean in a company vehicle! It happened twice on the same bloody road in about half a mile too. Much swearing occurred. myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use my local PO every week (have to, now NatPest have closed all the local branches) and it's usually fine, except December when everyone descends to send cards or parcels or ask silly questions. I use one regularly. It's the only sub branch left in Marlow, and it's mega easy to park so i take all my parcels there The main one in town is a twat in all respects, same with my one in Thame. The guy behind the counter knows me, just smiles and points the gun through the glass to scan the label and I put it at the side tidily myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymous user Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I'm pleased that Barclays have backtracked on their proposal to stop allowing customers to withdraw cash at Post Offices; however that's not much help when both are closing at a rate of knots around here. I dislike using third party cash machines, ever since the one at the CoOp ate my card, but don't often get the chance to get into a bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruffgeezer Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Had a run out in the Berlingo Multispace at the weekend, for the most part it behaved, but as it hadn't been used in a few weeks it was full of condensation which managed somehow to toast the cd player.

The staff try to get everyone to use the self-service machines so that they only have to keep one window open.

New POD Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Fucking Royal fucking mail. I ordered something off a retailer and somehow the delivery address got mixed up with the billing address. So it Has Correct: 97 High Street Incorrect; Liverpool Correct: ST14 7JJ It was sent on 48 hour tracked. 3.5 weeks on going to Warrington. Wigan, Formby, Southport, Liverpool. Chester. Manchester. It's gone to a different North West sorting office every other day. I've rang them and emailed them and apparently they will eventially give up and either return it to sender or to Belfast where they will open it and see if it has the senders address. What they won't fucking do us send it to ST14 7JJ where they will see they are standing on the high street and ironically be delivering to the Old post office. They said they won't deliver unless the whole address is fucking right. mitsisigma01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucketeer Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Ah. Okay. So close but yet so far. I guess I live here now. At least it's only a seven mile walk to the nearest shop, and it's due to stop raining long enough for the ground to dry out sometime in May.

clayts450 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Pissing absolute stairrods on the evening commute, I'm about the only person observing the recommended 4 second gap, constantly have someone right up the 620's arse all the way home. And if this isn't bad enough you then have two lanes with a gazillion exploding stars coming towards you, usually at least four per car (dipped and foglights). All other commuters can get in the sea - and there was a bloody big one on the A610.... myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillmanImp Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Just spent AGES making Imp jr a hat for his Christmas meal at school tomorrow: Little git didn't help at all. Just kept whinging and hassling me for snacks before his tea. Then when I'd finished, he said he didn't like it and threw it on the floor. Only showing it on here on the off chance that someone might appreciate the effort that went into it. If anyone wants a child they're welcome to him.
