Peter Miller Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 SOme time ago I had to make a return visit to the dentist. The lady said that as it was still in the same treatment and within a month I didn't have to pay. I was chuffed. Got back to my car. The car park is free with a three hour limit. I had forgotten to get a ticket. £24 fine removed any chuffed feelings Edited By Peter Miller on 18/03/2020 19:24:55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Packe Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Went to Asda this morning to get some bog rolls, the panic buyers and hoarders had cleared the shelves in the bog roll aisle. I'm so glad that I managed to buy 480 bog rolls last week before all this panic buying started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Fry Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Posted by john stones 1 on 18/03/2020 17:44:51: Glad to hear you're all well. Dropped a clanger the other day, looking for a shop entrance and missed it, ended up driving in a bus lane. Today I get a fixed penalty fine. Cheers my dear, hope they run outa loo roll. I, fool, and I don't do speeding, set my cruise control coming back from the UK, last autumn. I was careless.After allowances, I was 1 kph over the speed limit. Through 3 cameras, in 40 minutes. That's fine dining for two, with wines, and whiskey. And three points. And beloved was not happy, her car, and you have not been lectured by her, when she is right, and the argument, I was hurrying back to you dear, does not wash.

Many years ago (Early 90s) I did one of my "Lesser known aircraft from aeronuttycal history." called "The Laughing Samaurai Special" I am now afraid that they may be trying to get their revenge!!!

Probably could do with a notice like the one we had pinned up above the office photocopier................ " Don't waste paper, use both sides of the sheets and recycle" . Yuk!

I had forgotten to get a ticket. £24 fine removed any chuffed feelings Edited By Peter Miller on 18/03/2020 19:24:55 A year back I met up with an old friend at Gordano services (Bristol) to hand over a vintage heli he was after. Bristol was about half way between our respective homes. He offered to buy me lunch, and we got chatting, as you do, and the time just flew by. Eventually we left and went our respective ways. A few days later, I got a 'phone call. He'd got a parking ticket for staying past two hours, and was enquiring if I'd got one! No, I hadn't, nor did I, despite the fact we'd both arrived and left within minutes of each other! Then it dawned on me! I'd taken my classic car out for a run, as it hadn't had a decent journey for a while: The ANPR cameras couldn't read the old-style number plates! The local council are currently converting all the multi story car parks to ANPR, and they can't read them either! -- Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Cotsford Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 What I can't get my head around is the complete absence of cat litter on the shelves. I mean, who is stockpiling cat litter? I have this mental picture of some smarmy type with a pencil moustache with cartoon £ signs for eyes sitting on a mountain of cat litter rubbing his hands! I'm afraid my three cats will just have to join the bears doing their business in the woods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Fry Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Anyway, in SW France, after the shop emptying displays of last week, normality is back. Stocks of suchi ( addicted), frozen legs of lamb, 1/3 off?, what's that about. Walked past the mountains of bog roll. No parmesan cheese. Fruit shop, fish shop, full stocks, empty. Bizarre.

So you think the shortage of toilet rolls has caused people to resort to cat litter i must be say that sounds messy and uncomfortable.

cymaz Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Visit Cornwall and the County Tourist Board were filmed on the local news last night trying to stop holiday makers and second home owners from coming down. They are afraid that it will be carried down here in greater numbers. The main hospital has only a few ICU beds for over 500,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
