I took my daughter to Paris when she was studying for her French GCSE. It was magical - walks along the Seine, pain au chocolat for breakfast sitting outside a patisserie, seeing the Mona Lisa in the Louvre... What does she remember most vividly about the trip? A pigeon pooing on me.
I remember a pidgeon pooing on my dad in Scarborough when I was little (around 6 or 7 I think, my little brother was still in a push chair) but nothing much else from that trip. And I remember from a year or so later, said brother falling in a nettle bed at Flamborough Head . I think it's just the kind of thing that children's memories hang on to.
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
I remember visiting some family friends when I was a child. They brought their tortoise into the house to show us, and it manage to wee directly into my dad’s cup of tea. Good aim and quite a distance! No, he didn’t drink it.
Been on to solar panels installer several times, spoke to different people who told me different things. Emailed pictures of damaged panels. Then someone rang, asked about the alarm. He said "oh that's nothing you can ignore it" well,you couldn't because of the noise! I said to him was it ok to ignore a fire alarm then. He said contractors took pictures, there's NO damage. They took a photo from the road, about 30 feet away. You can't see it from there. He said we must have done it. Hubby asked for the manager,....he WAS the manager! He laughed at my husband,and then started shouting. Refused to come out. Have just spoken to the solar company who arranged for the contractors, she has put in a formal complaint for us, said it would take a few days.
Following my complaints to Lloyds Insurance and to the Underwriters, I have a new person handling my insurance claim. This one actually sounds like he's on MY side and not like the last useless cow who kept telling me to settle for " knock for knock "
Bloody Ebay. I bought a lamp to match one that I already have. The seller listed it as new but with a replacement bulb because the old one was broken. I checked it when it arrived and they'd cut the 5v USB plug off and wired it into a 13A 240v plug with a 3A fuse stuck in it. The 5v cable is so skinny that my youngest boy can put his finger inside the plug and touch the live terminal. They said a professional company did it and they have a receipt for the work. The wire has been tested so it probably won't burn the house down. I'm sending it back...
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I wasted my morning, trying to resolve a couple of outstanding issues, still not getting proper bills from energy company. I don't understand their difficulty, I can work it out on paper easily enough, using all the data they show on my account, anyway I am in a small credit so it's not a problem. The other issue is I had to take a greenhouse fan heater back to a GC, as the fan only function didn't work. None of the other models in the shop worked either despite it being an advertised function. They are still chasing the mfcrs no result yet. Does anyone make anything properly anymore?
