who invented zip codes ?

ahh, that might explain it.

but he robbed the RICH to give to the POOR

these b'stards just rob everyone to increase their profits.

Pah! Renewal of my car insurance last December cost me 53% extra!
Feeble excuse was cost of repairs had risen, probably due to electric vehicles.
Robin hoods

it's that time of the year

house insurance renewal

no changes
no claims

so my premiums have gone up by over 25%

load of robbing b'stards.

'you can change your voluntary excesses'

so I can say I will pay more if I make a claim, which means that it will probably not be worth claiming, but if I tell you you will put my premiums up even more ?

my pensions have'nt gone up by 25%
I can't vote myself a 25% pay rise.

aaaaaggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh

"...oh, THAT Denver!"

Happens in Ireland as well - "Your post has been sent to the wrong delivery office. We will still get it to you. It is now in BELTURBET, POST OFFICE at 07:59 on 09 April 2024"

As the crow flies, it nearly went past me to get to Belturbet! 

Quote from: Newportnobby on April 09, 2024, 09:22:40 AMOrdered some of that plastic push fit racking from B & Q.
Available online only, not instore.
Click & collect not available on this item - B & Q will deliver F.O.C.
They give themselves a 4 day window in which to deliver.

Ordered a bathroom tap a couple of Saturdays ago from B&Q with next day delivery (nearest B&Q is half an hour from home)
Parcel arrived before lunch on Sunday
Opened parcel to find a roll of tape.....
Phoned helpline who didn't seem to understand..
Phoned again on the Monday. Raised to high priority will hear from them within 72 hours.
Week goes by and I call again and they agree to a refund but they will collect the tape. Told to wait for an email with instructions.
Still no email or refund received...
In the meantime I re-ordered the tap for delivery to a B&Q near work and it all went smoothly

Quote from: jpendle on April 05, 2024, 07:39:48 PMThere doesn't seem to be a mildy put out thread, so this one will have to do 

I've been eagerly awaiting delivery of 2 brand new Farish CL158's purchased from Kernow last weekend.

Bu Wednesday they had cleared customs in LA and on Thursday they were at a transfer hub in California, but not the one that the USPS normally use for my stuff.
I checked this morning and found out that they had arrived in Oregon and were out for delivery, which was a bit of a surprise because I live in Colorado 

Checking again, half an hour ago, and the parcel is back at the Post Office in Oregon and "moving through the system" 

Hopefully they should be here early next week, we'll see.

"...oh, THAT Denver!"

good job you're not in Melbourne. The AI cameras on the traffic lights would be fining you for using your phone to take the pic.  

Worrying that even bad weather doesn't put off the UFOs (middle picture).
