Is it too much to expect a taxi driver to get out of his Avensis and go and ring someone's door bell rather than sitting blaring the ******* horn?

Yes, Taxi drivers don’t have legs

Boiler man is early so he sat in the van till 10. He’s seen me so knows I’m in nothing like the English working man .Tell he’s not self employed.

How'd you know he sat in his van until 10:00, given you posted at 09:44?

Nice that you can still 'buy British' with hifi even today. That's some use you are getting out of those amps!

You can indeed. I’m sitting here listening to a Welsh built amplifier (Leema) through a pair of English, Gloucestershire built, loudspeakers (ATC)

I thought the Cycle Sync would tell me when to go riding with friends or on my own 🙁

Salisbury built pre-amp/amp/streamer and Cambridge made turntable/phono amp ... two sets of british speakers, but main pair are, ahem, Danish.

You could always buy and try, then report back.

There was an advert on TV earlier for the Lexus UX, but they insisted on calling it the U X as two separate letters - so why not put the letters separate or have a full stop between them? Did they realise too late that UX is pronounced 'ucks' effectively making the car the Lexus ucks?

On a coach holiday abroad some years ago, nearing Calais and we pulled into a picnic area, all the doors flew open and the crew started shouting "everybody out", when we got outside there was a plume of smoke coming out of the engine bay, it turned out the air con unit had burnt out, after consulting the office they cut the belt connecting the air con to the engine and we carried on without it.

Was it an odd shade of blue coloured coach?

Wake up, lazy boiler man
You've been sleeping all day
It's time to get to work

He arrived at 1/2 past the repair was down for 10 he’s been before and never moves till the time on his sheet. The underlining point is it’s all part of the general attitude of contempt to tenants we get all the time. We’ve no choice but to put up with it.
