I've spent most of this morning on hold to son's car insurance company and the company he took out a car loan with. One would have thought that, having had each other's email and phone details, the bank details and all the figures agreed, for over ten days, one could have managed to pay the other without me spending the day on the phone ... and it still hasn't happened ... a nice lass called Rachel at the insurance company is going to try to expedite matters before the Settlement Figure expires next week
I think that's why the country is grinding to a halt ... everyone is spending their lives on hold on the phone .... life used not to be so complicated ... people used to be able to follow a process through to its conclusion without having to check with their line manager every three minutes.

Now I have an email from the lass called Rachel confirming that the payment has been authorised and is being made. All it needed was for someone to take ownership of the issue and follow through.

I have finally been contacted by Autoglass, after me ringing again yesterday. I have an appointment at the nearest branch. NEXT Friday pm so another 8 days and more than weeks since the initial failed repair.
A few years ago one of the brats charging around our local pub came round the corner at speed and planted their face hard against my knee. According to its mother I was to blame, despite the fact that I was standing completely still in a queue.
No chance that your knee "twitched" - just slightly of course @KT53 ?
It didn't get the chance. The little git came round the corner so fast. I also have problems with my knees which weren't helped by the little gits face plant. If I had the opportunity I may still have done more than twitch.
I was in a restaurant when two little brats were chasing each other around and under my table. I had a glass of water ready to accidentally spill on the little darlings but they buggered off to annoy someone else.😞
Why are people still releasing balloons at sites where a death has occurred ? Ditto with the plastic wrapped bouquets ? A death by any means is to be acknowledged but why in this manner ? If you are wishing someone a good journey to the after life, you would hardly want them to be accompanied by various bits of plastic. Time for the various Environmental Departments , agencies and charities to prohibit this practice. Little point in moaning about the waste discarded by councils and water companies whilst the general public are allowed to continue in this vein.
Why do you always meet the refuse lorry in the narrowest bit of road when you are running late to meet somebody? Then, when you get within sight of your destination you find yourself in a queue with three way traffic lights and roadworks. Grrrr....

This irritates me beyond measure @philippasmith2 and I've been known to dispose of them, properly. The one that really took the biscuit though was finding a bunch of dead stems in cellophane wrapping and a crash helmet down at Sandaig Bay, near Glenelg when I lived up there. I would guess that ashes had been scattered and the rubbish left. No problem with the ashes but the wrapping and helmet went home with me and put in the bin.
