Boooo... All you hear about these days is what a hard time the "yoof" are having. Get in the queue boys and girls and once you've paid into the pot you can look at getting something out of it...... What about us wrinklies. Whilst I still have a few teeth and hair follicles I'd like some of that government cash to help me follow my life's dream. The ballet dancing's out on account of my varicose veins but I could train to be a brickie (as long as it's not too parky outside) or something like that. Bloody Snowflakes ....... ?

Nice to see a meaningful follow up. On a lot of furums I see a question being asked followed a few days later by a "Never mind. Sorted now" post with no clue as to how the predicament was resolved for peeps who may be following in the original posters footsteps. Well done that man !! ?

Colour Gel.

WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING?

As a rule of thumb was (or used to be) roughly £1000 per foot then you will be hard pressed to find anything in your price range.

I believe Highways Agencies (now Highways England) were the first to be christened Traffic Wombles. Well, they were by Saint Jeremy of Clarkson.

I got a bit dizzy watching that video. The camera pans up then the camera pans down (ad nauseum). A bit like being on a house viewing rollercoaster. ?

Phwoarr! Look at the size of the portholes on that !! ?

Billy Bragg? Yow'm au fait with current musical beat combo's aintcha !! ?

I have a sudden urge to alter my username to RiffRaff. ?

Cuh. The one time I try to do subtle ...... ?

Au Contraire. This is the ideal weather for panting.

As the great unwashed British public are deciding to ignore the Governments advice about social distancing and are flocking in their (lemming like) droves to the seaside and up Snowdon etc. it can't be long before BoJo declares martial law and locks us all down a la Italy. At last the real reason for mobilizing the Army (driving Oxygen truck to hospitals?, Yeah right) will become clear and we'll all be told to stay in our homes for 1 or 2 weeks. But what about CC'ers? Will they be allowed to pootle along as normal? Our intrepid boys in their Camo gear will be too busy on the mean streets of the UK rounding up the self-entitled ne'er do wells to bother about the canals so will boatees be free to amble along the waterways as usual? I wonder .....

Nowt wrong with my Ipad and hundreds of books therein. Many an hour is spent in the company of Jack Reacher or Aloysius Pendergast and when I get a boat (one can dream....) then the space saving alone will make it all worthwhile. ?

No news of The Hunchback yet?

.....it has prompted some to stick foil in their purse or wallet in a bid to prevent this from happening...... And they laughed at me when I started wearing my Tin Foil Hat. Who's laughing now !!

Really? I was informed that they don't. So I moved Banks. Poor customer service there then. Loyalty is no longer a consideration for any kind of establishment these days .....

This may "have legs ...." ?

I moved from Lloyds to Santander for this exact reason. I was made to feel like a luddite after I explained my reasoning and the numpty behind the counter was trying to tell me that I was downgrading my card to non-contactless. Whatever happened to "The Customer is King"? This King told 'em where to shove their contactless card and moved to a bank (after >20 years as their customer) that actually offered what I wanted as opposed to offering what they think I wanted.

Aye. I sometimes just type random words into it to see whereabouts in the world it refers to. I really should get a life ....... ?

Just say no !! I cancelled my RBS credit card as they said they could not supply non-contactless cards and no other provider would do so. Strange that Santander did exactly that. As usual RBS were full of BS about how it's risk free and they would refund if it was used fraudulently but, as you pointed out, no mention about how many hoops one would one have to jump through to get a satisfactory resolution. Bring back good old fashioned cash !!
