Soapy FFC Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 They say every day is a school day, well today I learned about Flying Ant Day. I came in from the shops, went out to the car 10 minutes later and the front path was covered with a huge swarm of ants, with hundreds, if not thousands of flying ants taking off. Half an hour an hour later they had all disappeared and ant activity was back to normal. A neighbour said his daughter was out walking a couple of miles away and there were swarms of flying ants where she was. I've since learned it happens one day once a year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking (possibly accurately) gangrene levels of horrendous. Took a brief glance and he's got a disgusting bandage over one foot and ankle. And no it wasn't me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soapy FFC Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 The head of a telescopic tree pruner I bought just over a year ago snapped today when I was cutting a branch back. It was just outside the guarantee period to return it to Screwfix, but there is a 5 year guarantee with Spear and Jackson. I emailed them with pictures of the pruner and a copy of my Screwfix invoice, and 20 minutes later I got an email apologising for the failure, and telling me a replacement had been ordered and will be delivered to me. Service as it should be I thought. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half hour for lunch at a scheduled time, usually about 1-1:30 or 1:30-2. Makes no freaking sense, they don’t close for breakfast or dinner, yet they’re open from 7A-9P. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
