Your call is important to them.

But not important enough to pay some staff to answer the phone.

Turned out not be a good idea as when i did get though. The price they gave me was not up for doing a deal or matching the new customer price. Told that's how it is costs deals come and go ect, ect. Everyone has better deals for new customers ect.
Asked about going broadband only they gave me a price twice as much as the price they want to put the bill up by.
So after being put though to someone else and same messing about. I've told them to do a running jump i've already found another provider for less than current price.

Lunchtime stroll completed and it was dry

Cool and overcast here chez Casa Reynard, and it is currently raining.

Slept well. Have spent most of the morning writing (or at least trying to) and honking out ridiculous amounts of gluey goo from my sinuses.

I really should go and have some luncheon.

I've just saved myself £160 by not buying the new Brompton carbon seatpost.

Is that a bit like putting extra chrome on a Ford Cortina L ?

OK, schedule checked, schools closed for last Friday's storm have re-opened & re-scheduled, today's closed schools from yesterday's storm, have already had their sessions completed, previously. so ... ready for the next storm & set of school closures!

this might be a rough Fall & Winter!

A rough " rule of thumb " is that replacing components with the titanium equivalent ( where available ) costs about £1 per gramme of weight saved, the Carbon seatpost ( which has a thin steel tube surrounding the carbon ) saves about 90 grammes over the standard seatpost, so it's almost twice as expensive as Titanium 😮

Tea and toast for luncheon.

I have had to throw away some pears, satsumas and nectarines.

I've probably saved about 400g on my Brommie by removing the mudguards and rear rack.
Does this mean £400 should appear in my bank account sometime soon?
*awaits*

Bit of a tidy up around the house with the Yorkshire game playing on my MacBook.
I have to keep remembering when they say Northeast it's a batsman not the area that's on strike.

With the amount of rain falling from the sky my butt will soon be full!

I fitted a titanium seat post which save a bit of weight but then added weight when I fitted aluminium mudguards. Saved a smidgeon by using titanium mudguard stays and fixings. Then there was the wopping 3 grammes weight saved with a titanium handlebar fixing bolt 😉
