N Gauge Discussion / Re: Nostalgia - Co-op Dividend...Last post by The Q - Yesterday at 05:08:59 PMQuote from: Wrinkly1 on Yesterday at 06:38:38 AMMy main memory of our local Co-Op is not the divi number, but having to give your money to the counter staff who then put it into an overhead wire-powered container which "shot" it by spring power to the cashier sealed inside an office. You then waited for your change and receipt to be sent back.I qualified to service the vacuum systems.. The biggest problems were foreign objects in the tubes. Coffee grounds at one Tesco's, the tube entrance was next to the waste bin in one coffee shop. And a tent support in another!! Yep they put up a permanent tent / gazebo by drilling a hole in a car park.. straight through the tube to the garage. #13

General Discussion / Re: The angry threadLast post by EtchedPixels - Yesterday at 04:20:14 PMQuote from: Newportnobby on Yesterday at 02:00:10 PMMany, many years ago I used to do temp work at Post Office sorting offices for Christmas money and it seemed the general rule was do what you want and at the end of each day pack things up and send them to another town/city My father very very long ago did temp post office work. He refused to write the word "fragile" on a package ever since as he thought it just made it a target #15
General Discussion / Re: The angry threadLast post by EtchedPixels - Yesterday at 04:19:26 PMNot just the post. DPD have just delivered or not two packages today.
One of them arrived, the other one "the delivery driver couldn't find the address" Apart from the fact they managed to deliver one and not the other the house has been here, with the same address for 160 years. So half the order is now heading back to the supplier, and if the supplier won't fix that they are going to be arranging the collection of the rest of it too. #16
General Discussion / Re: what are you listening to ...Last post by EtchedPixels - Yesterday at 04:08:30 PMI helped do lights and PA for the Manics once long ago before they were famous, and they were terrible. A year later they were smash hits and something obviously fell into place for them.
However I've been listening to Roy Woood. He btw was great live, and that included this song whilst we were all sat in a field in Cropredy in the sun in the middle of summer, 30 years ago. "Who knows where the time goes" indeed.. #17

Sad thing - the last Binns was in Darlo and indeed I took Mam shopping there not many years back however it seems it finally close its doors, after 100 year, at the end of 2024 #20
