vulgalour Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 After the joy of fitting the first bit of new wiring in the Lanchester came the misery of fitting the second part. Done now so hopefully it will never need to be done again and equally hopefully none of the rest of it is as miserable an experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reb Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I don't have any specific grump today, but I'm very grumpy for unidentified reasons. Maybe my grump is I'm grumpy despite being in quite a good mood when I went to bed. That'll do. Remspoor, Tickman and myglaren 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyslexic Viking Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Here it is considered normal to let young people destroy cars and behave like idiots. Several car models have been eradicated because of it. I know of great older cars that have been driven to death in quarries or just driven so hard that they are destroyed. Several of my old Volvo are victims of this and dead. So today I was both sad and really angry there has been an older man in the area with a really nice Peugeot 505 estate GTI and I have not seen it for a while until today it now has a young owner and is now completely destroyed. There is not a single body panel that is not based in, the exhaust system is gone and it is driven as it is on a rally stage so it is soon dead. And we've now lost another rare car that should have been taken care of. I can only imagine what the poor old man must be thinking. I hate people. brownnova, R1152, Remspoor and 6 others 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myglaren Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I think not. We had lots of students who's portable TV's were covered by their parent's licences while they were in rented flats & houses. NTVLRO never bothered them anyway and I very much doubt that they would concern themselves on a caravan, fixed or otherwise. My brother has a caravan with TV in it and has never been questioned about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurious Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I've been binning those threatening letters for about 4 years now. Never bothered with a TV licence. I watch YouTube through the Xbox mostly. Or Netflix. The other half was slightly panicked when I got a red one and then I was like "oh I've not seen a red one since last year" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Got a text message from the GP - they, and A&E are struggling - they want people to use common sense, visit a pharmacy or ring 111. I have no idea how my GP is struggling when everything is virtual - there is more chance of nailing blancmange to the ceiling that getting an appointment at my local GP. I really, really believe we are witnessing the beginning of the end of the NHS. myglaren, Doctormop, sheffcortinacentre and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurious Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 A&Es are miserable right now. Our main A&E had 150 people in the department last night. Ambulances queueing outside for hours. No space to unload, people queuing outside the main public entrance. Utterly mad figures. We may have seen this the odd day during a bad winter but this is consistent. Every day it's the same now for about a month. Our trust is operating one step below a major incident (like a major incident is a train crash or something like that) for about two months now, usually we're at the current level for a couple of days during the winter but not months. It's absolutely crazy. 111 are partly to blame, the OOH GP providers they're linked with won't see many face to face patients so they just send patients to A&E either under their own steam or worse still, send an ambulance out to see them.

Back in the mid 70's I could (and did) buy 40's and 50's cars and motorbikes for practically nothing. These were invariably smashed up racing around my mates farms. No one wanted them, simple as that. We had a few Jowett's (absolute heaps at that), E93A's and 100E's. More than a fewTriumphs and BSA's saw their end in our hands. And a nice, hand gear change Rudge too. Just think of the cheap cars you can buy now-throw away prices most of them, and no one cares. Fast forward 30 years and they will no doubt be considered classics, just because only a few of them exist. Am I sorry for what I did? Nope, they were end of life vehicles then, rusty, leaking fluids, collapsed interiors, knackered cross plies, etc. Too expensive to fix back then, and there are possibly only a few people, with the desire and money, that would consider restoring any of them now. sdkrc, Mally and brandersnatch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you when it comes to cars that are currently cheap cars at the end of their lives and that no one wants. But what has happened a lot up here is that cars that are really old and rare and are in good condition get this fate. And I do not agree with that and do not like it. As this 505 these are now extremely rare and good cars that have managed to survive should be taken care of in my opinion. But if this was a Peugeot 407, I would not care at all. timolloyd, Jerzy Woking and myglaren 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnside Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Fucking local Co-op, why is it every time I buy a top voucher at the counter the person serving me is a idiot. Went in for £10 and they charged me £20, so i said it was wrong and was told. No it's what you asked for!! Oh and they couldn't / wouldn't refund me either. Bollocks to them now. Instead of walking to my local co-op, I'll drive the 3 mile to Tesco instead and they can have my business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
