Very annoying that isn't it.

I find that trouser pockets can do the same thing !

I think it's possible that I have over-consumed ye olde chocolate digestive biscuits.

None left ?

I find it reassuring that household objects assault other CCers' clothing. I thought I was being particularly clumsy. But, no, they're really out to get us!

It might be worth taking a photo of it .
It seems odd that it is in the same place as the previous crack ?
Is it a chip with a centre of impact or a crack?

Definitely a crack, as was the last one. No impact whatsoever on quack#2
The wheels are in motion via insurance and fitting company who are sending an inspector out today, hopefully.
Photos were sent, at their request, even though they sent me the wrong email address to send them too<doh>

You are not the only one !
Casually walk past a door handle and you find yourself being jerked back as something that you are wearing has snagged itself on the door handle! Pockets , belt loops !

Everybody keeps talking about something called Wimbledon.

 

[Oldhippy]

Lovely sunny morning but a bank of fog all the way down the Sound of Mull means some ferries are cancelled.
They do not sail in very bad viz due to many yotties not appearing on radar so elfnsafety and all that.
I remember in the days before radar was so common the ferry at Craignure was guided in during fog by a man with a hammer and a tin tray who banged the tray in response to the ferry horn as they worked their way cautiously in to berth. That is not a tall story as I was there at the time and saw this happening.

Did the banging of the tray become more rapid like the parking sensors do on cars ?

That is before the crunching sound !

They announced on the TV this morning that manufactures of domestic appliances will have to make spare parts for them for 10 years.

I used to repair ours. Then it became the fashion to buy new green energy saving appliances.

A lot of the modern stuff seems to be sealed or that you can't easily get into them .

They keep using weird screws and fittings for which you can't find the correct screwdrivers.
