    When I had a Vauxhall Cavalier in the late 90s, I kept getting electric shocks. Every time I stepped out of the car and touched the door - boom. 

    I learned how to exit the car without causing the shocks. But honestly, whenever I forgot it was a real pain (literally). I remember once holding my car key near the lock and seeing a spark. 

    My new Vauxhall Crossland - purchased to universal acclaim here on P&B - is the same. Saturday, parked the car, stepped out, put my hand on the door.. "Ooohafucker!" Now I'm back to my old habit of opening the door, gripping the door frame then stepping out.

    Hi folks.

    Our lad has paid us for some event tickets but still had paper banknotes. We took them because we knew they could be traded in for the newer plastic ones.

    Trouble is, they are from 4 different banks - BoS, RBS, Clydesdale and even one BoE.

    Anyone know if they can all be traded in at one bank or if we have to visit 3 or 4?  I've has a quick look online but no clear answer jumped out at me.

    Thanks.

    Any good?

    It's a readable biography examining centuries of myths, half-truths and lies.

    Half way through and it's staggering how much we don't know about him,  more staggering is the bullshit that people make up about him 'under research'.

    I started reading it yesterday. The same day he was born, St Georges day.  Well actually we don't know that, we do know he was christened on 26th April, so why not make his birthday the same as St George's Day, excellent.

    Unfortunately in 1564 England had the Julian calendar, meaning he was born on the 3rd May😂

    My old boss from about a decade ago was ex-Royal Engineers and his work ethic was unreal. His thought process when going into any job was always well thought out, logical and made perfect sense.

    It's kind of rubbed off on me too, if I have to go to a site I'm there sharp, having planned and prepped and made sure I've got everything I need to complete the job and I plan for if I won't finish the job or run into issues or problems when I'm there.  That all sounds like common sense, but for the majority of gimps I've worked with, in various jobs over the years, it isn't.  You'd be amazed how many folk would go to a job alone or with me, and be completely underprepared for it, run into issues and have to go back another day to finish it.  When I worked with this guy from the Army that never happened once, nor does it ever happen to me when I'm on a solo trip. 

    You'll love it here.

    Every morning, is like a 30 man new recruits Monday, nobody knows what to do, no plan no f**k all.

    I've worked in 6 different places here, they are all the same.
