RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted November 23, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 23, 2022 My DIY task today should be really easy.(Hysterical laughter sound effects). Just running some flat Ethernet cable from the loft into some conduit in the study. Then lean out of the landing window to screw a security camera in place. I would have finished yesterday if we hadn’t had to spend hours convincing a major bank we were not terrorists or money laundering. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

About as much use to someone modelling in 7 mm scale as a chocolate teapot😂. I'd much prefer the likes of an Ivatt Class 2 mogul, which would fit in very nicely if I were to suddenly switch to modelling the Midland Railway through Brecnock and Radnorshire.

Popular Post br2975 Posted November 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2022 Some 'Night Mailers' may recall my recent post regarding our 'win' at the Swansea County Court following an almost year long struggle to obtain a £1,000 refund for a Christams event that didn't materialise. . Despite our 'winning' at the Swansea County Court, the defendant, the event organiser was still reluctant to pay up. . Immediately following the hearing, she 'refreshed and rebranded' her company, with a completely new name and new Facebook page. . It didn't take yours truly to find the new page, and post a precise of the wife's struggle, the court case, and a copy of the court order to each of her page's posts. . Despite another round of excuses, she has (grudgingly) paid up, in full, and the monies have been refunded to each of the 19 guests. . However, the 'defendant' could not accept defeat gracefully - and it appears she has reported me to the local police (my former employers) amking accusations of harassment. . I'm now revelling in the possibility of this 1970s policing dinosaur pitting his wits against a millenial in uniform. . Watch this space for any further developments. 10 1 3 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that your encounter (if it happens) is as good as mine was. A PW, no hat and jacket unbuttoned appeared at our door demanding to know the whereabouts of no 2 son. I told her that I hadn't yot a clue, which I hadn't. She them asked for his mobile number which I again didn't know as he used to lose his phone regularly. She then threatened me with arrest. I asked her what her powers were and the act and section that she was going to use. Off she trotted looking crestfallen, tail, metaphorically between her legs. I don't like being threatened by an ignorant chancer. Jamie Edited November 23, 2022 by jamie92208 2 2 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your description is that of many officers I see, and hear today. . I wonder what they are told during training, and what form their supervision and management takes ? . Experience dictates that over the years, "UK policing plc" has made a rod for its' own back by 'dumbing down' and trying to be 'all things to all men' - and is now reaping the rewards (or reaping the whirlwind) 1 7 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much?????? Let me guess, the water pump is £50 and the rest is for the day's labour while the car is dismantled and reassembled, as seemingly the factory started with a water pump on the production line then built the entire car around it? 1 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
