  1. Hi Benjamin........I think its just accepted that if you dont attend for an appointment then the charge is put on......I think its been that way for quite a while I can understand why they do it to stop the suns out I am playing golf guys who may duck out of attending ...Cut off from the place by accidents and a blizzard was a harsh decision though .....oh well thats life !
  2. Wish I had been there ....I would have taken a barow full....they took over my bank .then told me to come in and see them as they could make my money do more for me ...Oh yea !
  3. Yes...receptionists.trained by Gengis Khan most of them ....Today on the Isle of Wight all out patients clinics appointments were cancelled due to weather conditions by the general hospital.so many would have turned up just to be told to go home as the staff were not there ...Information passed via Solent Radio so if you were not tuned to them you would have a wasted journey in time and fuel...they wont compensate the patients though !
  4. Am I the only one that thinks the British Airports Authority bosses should be hanging their heads in shame today ..The UK's main airport and they cant keep the runways open with over 50 snow clearence machines ....and only had one shift on duty de iceing aircraft.. No excuses there are plenty of airports that get snow to show them how its done Canada the USA for example ...they should have been ready for it !
  5. Wife this morning off to dentist for hygienist appointment...4 car pile up on bend outside village due to ice and snow. road block. Phoned cancelled cant get there reply "We will make another appointment but you have to pay £20 for not attending today will put the bill in the post "
  6. This is France getting in first with her protest ..as she does often .....The first of many countries we will see with people taking to the streets I fear .....People are getting very angry now they are losing their jobs like the UK protesters in the news at the moment .... Many convieniently forgetting they have worked abroad... (and made a TV series about it "Auf Wiedersen Pet ") now want to pull the drawerbridge up . No wonder Gordon Brown looks worried labour voters...shifting to the right ? ...This could spread and the BNP and their EU friends will take every advantage to make sure it does ....all over.Europe ...more protests and a lot of Police overtime to come I think ...
  7. Its going to upset my family if they do pull out of Nantes as the Bournemouth to Nantes flight gets plenty of use by them...You cant book on their web site for any date at the moment Bmouth - Nantes
  8. Conforama if you have the transport to take the item ...as you view then pay and go to dispatch area load up and go.....They do "managers specials" and reduce items so you may find the same item you have seen elswhere reduced in Conforama
  9. I see Longleat is on the list....but ...would his lordship tie his lions up while I claimed my right to walk through ?
  10. Planned huge public works to get the country working again will need lots of steel but not from outside the USA...even if USA produced steel works out to be dearer .......
  11. It would appear that the USA under their new president is to make sure that every cent of public money spent on the recovery package to get America out of recesssion goes on home produced steel...."No US tax dollars for foreign steel producers to get rich on they say " what next trade tarrifs ?
  12. Population will rise due to credit crunch....no job...not coming home knackered after a hard days work ...
  13. I have just changed mine ..now got Rover 75 Club CTD tourer. as I need a diesel estate ..midnight blue immaculate with all the chrome handles and bits ...looks like its just came out of the showroom.One owner 2004 just over 30.000 on the clock .....£3.700...BMW parts so no problems there ....If I had been prepared to travel further i may have got a cheaper one ...
  14. Then there is the pay up ...or we have your passport and drivers licence off you in the pipeline ...I am happy to see non paying fathers stump up for their kids and the governement go to great lengthts to recover maintenence ....But the proposal giving agencies the right to pull your passport and / or drivers licence if they believe you owe them money I am not happy about ....What will that spread to....late paying your income taxes ....instead of £100 penalty for a late submission of return you lose your passport !
  15. Once again loads of mussels and oysters from the beds will end up on the beach.......what a shame !!!
  16. Radio this morning reports three quarters of a million homes without electricity..wind was reported expectatiion force 12 which is a hurricane !
  17. I shall be interested to see how he gets on with the UK..The "Special relationship Grandad Hussein Onyango Obama passed his hatred of the British on to his family after his teatment in British hands as a Mau Mau suspect .and was not impressed to read in employment records his white employer thought his grandfather "not worth 60 shillings a month " He has appointed Rahm Emanual as his No1 in the white house and his dad was a member of the Irgun in Palistine and they were killing the British at the time .... no love for us there either ....
  18. Sorry to hear eating out in the Cotswolds is so expensive Carolyn...you are in the wrong spot there .too many Royals on your doorstep ? .Dorset and Hampshire lots of places two eat for a tenner ...Last Sunday we had lunch in a pub in Lyndhurst £5 each ...and about 8 meals from to choose from on the fiver menu. The Swan if anybody wants to give it a try ..
  19. All you have to do is keep an eye open for where you see a load of lorries parked up at lunchtime.....that will be the best value and most substancial meal you will find in whatever part of France you holiday in....Also as has been mentioned ....when out and about the hypermarkets serve yourself restaurants are also good value ...Evenings check out the "Hotel " restaurant menu's as well as the restaurants they can do a very good value 3 course meal ....and you will get a "proper " napkin instead of a paper one ! My favorite "Hotel" does a 14 euro menu and upwards .
  20. Ist bike i got to ride was a matchless 350..didnt own it...just had to ride it .Was one of many owned by the MOD to choose from !First bike owned was a Honda as I remember was about 150cc..
  21. Religion or not if the message to help people to get more out of life by not killing each other is taken up ... starting in the middle east .....and is successful.... then he will have achieved somthing worth his presidency ... Arms industry wont like it though !
  22. Lets face it when it comes to spending cash on UK roads its the last thing the governement /county councils are going to do..The road repair pots been empty for years .....but enough left to pay county councillors 20grand or more a year expenses to talk about lack of funding ....The main roads have groves in them lorry tyre width and Hampsire ! patches everywhere ....In Southampton for years the roundabouts have shown tarmac scraped off down to the concrete foundation by busses...I dont expect them to be repaired in my lifetime ..France can hold her head up when it comes to roads ..if only the UK would do such a good job .
  23. I read these bulbs contain murcury and if you break one you are advsed not to hoover it up as it disperses it and you breath it in .....supposed to go out of the room for 10 minutes ...then sweep the bits up.....Cannot be but in the bin when they pack up ..special re cycle process required . No wonder people are buying up all the incansescent ones while they are still available ...
  24. Its a bit hard to respond in kind when a tank is parked outside your door....What do expect them to say...".Switch the engine off... come in and I will put the kettle on ?"
  25. Expect this ceasefire to last until next Tuesday after that ..I expect it will be over .....This ceasefire has been called as they dont want to rain on Obama's parade Can't have the worlds press turned away from the swearing in ..no other reason ....its Americas big day can't spoil that can they .The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade are the guys who fire the rockets and dont take any notice of Hamas so it will be business as usual for them ....They might fire a few and will be hit again after Obama is out of the spotlight ....
