George told me a story last night.We have a little local corner shop.They work very long hours.They have only been their about four months.Anyway on his camera in the shop he saw three girls pocket sweets,then they tried to leave without paying.He challenged them they denied it.So he locked the door and said ring home and get your parents or i ring the police.So three sets of parents come down ,two go mad and pay up.The third denies her daughter has done anything wrong.Its on camera,so pay up or i ring the police.Well because the other two owned up she coughed up.He then banned all six from his shop.Times are hard enough without losing stock to shoplifters.The guy and his wife are open till nine at night and later at the weekend.

Wolves ate the HT leads ? :wacko:

No, some other furry little tyke.
Car no start. Quick get taxi
Late for plane, missed plane.
Eventually arrive HK, one day late
Client pissed, argue over fee.

Still have to fix car.
Return home.
Guy in car parts store laughed when I wanted a set of HT leads.

Shares the intelligence that 3 other cars in my street got done that night.
The little bu$$ers like the smell of the particular material used make the leads
Then sells me a can of repellent.

Furry little blighters have a lot to answer for.

Seen a white rabbit going hopping up the pavement this morning when out on my walk this morning. Someone's pet must have escaped. :sad:I hope they get it again and it doesn't get flattened by a car.

We had a white rabbit for a while. But that was 20 years ago. Your one probably not ours

Dryish day so far and the wind has gone down.
Holiday house has parked his glass bin right up against my car. I could reverse out but being perverse the bin now blocks his gateway instead.:whistle:
I am trying to find out about a monument which overlooked the bay but mysteriously toppled down the cliff face some years ago. Even somebody who wrote a booklet about such local monuments cannot remember but will find out. That is how local memory of events and local history just disappears as there are so few left here who know any real history of the town. There are lots of fairy stories but real events seem to vanish.

Apparently you have to change any postage stamps you have for ones with a bar code before 31st January next year or they become invalid.
Local post office cannot do this but you have to download a form from Royal Mail which you then post to them and get new stamps in return. Shower of crooks make it as complicated as possible in the hope nobody bothers.:angry:

What was the contract that you made with the post office when you gave them money for the future opportunity to access their service?
Can they change the conditions after the event?
