A parcel being delivered by FedEx from Belgium has been stuck at CDG airport now for 4 days. Eventually got to speak to someone at FedEx and "there's a massive backlog, we've got no idea when your parcel will get through". Shocked

Talk about inept. Evil or Very Mad

Had two (Royal Mail) letters delivered on Sunday - that was a bit weird.
One was a NIP for my other half (doing 70 mph in a 60) and the other was for me - an appointment for a colonoscopy.

Happy days.

Losing the use of my left arm after my gallant fight removing a tyre from the wheel of a piddling 125.

Bead was welded on.

The petrol station in the small village are doing unleaded 21p per litre cheaper than the supermarkets. How are Morrisons and all the rest allowed to do this? The local garage isn’t giving it away, he must be making a profit. There’s queues down the road at rush hour to fill up - understandably and correctly - yet Morrisons forecourt is a ghost town. Why are they not trying to compete? Is this just blatant price fixing between them?
(For reference the petrol locally is 155p, Morrisons 176p)
Thinking about this I’m not sure this is grinding my gears as such, I obviously fill up there. The bit that is narking me I think is that it shows what fuel COULD be sold at!

What's the problem? Unless you're running on fumes you're not forced to buy from a particular petrol station. If sales drop they might have an incentive to drop prices. There is a capital value to stored fuel and the bean counters get agitated if it's not shifted, even if it has to be done at a lost.

Free market in action.

Just reading an article on inflation and, yes it's affecting me but no where near as much as a lot of people.

However I do actually wonder who writes some of these articles. Are they written just to cause a reaction? (It is the BBC)

The one I am reading, amongsts other things states Rebecca Brown, a full-time PhD student at the University of Nottingham, is worried about what will happen when her energy bills go up again this winter.

Fair enough, it's not going to be pleasant at all. But then in the next paragraph she says "After rent and bills plus my bus fare, phone, Netflix and Spotify bills, that leaves me around £300 to £400 a month for food, fun and necessities," she said.

Whoa a minute, Netflix and Spotify bills? I have no idea of the cost of Spotify but if it's the same as Netflix that's an instant saving of about £20 a month, £240 a year. Not a huge amount but Netflix and Spotify are hardly necessities to living.

Is this a case of first world priorities? Laughing

She's probably on a £40p/m phone contract as well, but why would you still have a netflix subscription Confused

Wheeled suitcases!

In the days you had to carry them, people travelled light.. returning from my hols on Eurostar and the world and his wife (mostly 'muricans it seems) all have these ridiculously huge cases that could carry a cadaver. one twat was pulling one in each hand effectively blocking the entire platform..

.. bunch of arse.
