The angry thread

Assuming you bought from a UK retailer I would take it back. They should exchange it for a UK one.

One thing that annoys me in supermarkets is the way they price large and small tins/boxes of the same product, shopping for myself alone I'm more or less forced to buy the smaller one as I often can't consume all the larger one within a "use by"; examples, 100g and 200g packs priced the same! Worse, recently a large tin of something on offer at £1.50, alongside the smaller tin of the same product at £1.69! I would have thought it would make sense to have a proportional offer on the smaller tin. As usual the pensioner gets ripped off.

I realise they usually claim that the smaller quantity will cost proportionally more for packaging and handling, but surely there is a limit?

Why not just buy the bigger version and freeze what you don't use immediately.

As I live in a retirement flat space is at a premium, I only have space for a fridge freezer less than 50cm wide, I got the largest that would fit, by the time I put in packets of chips, hash browns, peas, carrots and some meat and fish the freezer is full.

As the flat is rented I can't start ripping out built in units to get a larger freezer in.

I see your problem in a smallish retirement flat. An acquaintance of
mine (pub regular) had similar problems and bought a small freezer
which is kept in a broom cupboard, I was surprised when I saw it
it's a cube about 2ft each side.

He must keep very small brooms in that cupboard

You could go halves with your next door neighbour

Right time for a rant......

Is it just me or are the little copper coloured springs in Farish couplings just put there fore no other reason, than to ping out at you, bounce of your forehead and never been seen again??

Apparently they are there to help the coupling operate, which I think is a load of rubbish, its nothing more than a rumour spread about by some evil Master mind at Farish HQ, with the amount I have lost, sorry had exploded in my face over the past few months the spare room carpet should be blanketed in the little buggers. But no its not, because I think these little springy devils self destruct, moments after admitting a feint sound to give you brief hope that you heard the rough vicinity in which they landed.

Well be warned you Evil Spring Master I am on to you..........

Recently, while tidying up my room, I rescued not one but two springs from the maw of the carpet monster.

Now all I have to do is work out where they came from

paulprice · May 06, 2015, 09:43:25 AM

They are not yours they are mine, give them back or I am telling MUMMY

Typical, I have a chassis for my Ivatt 4 build, working at ready to be attached to the body, and the moment I am ready to do this the bloody thing decides to stop messing in gears.

I think the keeper plate may be a little distorted, AAARRRRGGGHHHHHHH HELP HELP HELP

we have a stair lift remote controller at the top and one at the bottom of the stairs to make life easy to call the chair up or down to whichever is needed.
For a couple of weeks now the one upstairs refuses to obey any command made of it even though I installed a new battery so yesterday I removed the back via one screw

the switch contacts were filthy so a good rub over with Tomix track cleaner soon brought them back to new condition and all looked good but closing the cover is a nightmare. So far Ive spent 3 hours trying to reassemble the ^%* thing.
Now the other one is coming out in sympathy

Service mans due Wednesday and I think he will probably moan like

about things then sell us a new one. Hes the most

Ive ever met
