They left a cardboard box around the back in the wind and pissing rain. I was at work, so the box had disintegrated by the time I was back. The front porch is sheltered, they could have at least sat it there out of the rain.

someone left a cake out in the rain...

That’s a different bit. Upper Methil’s on the hill where Bayview used to be. Lower’s down the hill where bayview is now.

Upper Methil is just Methil, but old Bayview could have actually have been in Aberhill not Methil.  Aberhill Primary School playground was just over the wall at the East terracing.

The delivery part of the service from Evri depends hugely on the local courier. My Evri courier couldn't be better (and you can set up the delivery instructions fairly easily too).

The 'customer service' on the other hand is eye-gougingly horrific. A pointless, time-wasting traipse around a robo-call that should have the company shut down by law until they provide a real service instead.

The local delivery guy is great. I booked collection through parcels2go and I get fine a contact.

I used Hermes through Parcel2Go for a while at work, and it was always fun when the regular guy would send his daughter instead.

Booty shorts and bralets. Always amusing to see passing men stop to watch while we were loading the van  :lol:

Are you sure they were eyeing her and not you, with you both in matching outfits…😳

I very much regret that my post has led to this, and I apologise for my part in inflicting this upon you all.

Spoiler

Catalonia a nation, indeed. The very thought!

Evri can f**k off. I ordered something on the 19th November and still haven't received it. The item was "delivered" on the 23rd at 8.45 pm, which is a lot of bollocks. The wife and I were in, and no one came to the door. There was no photo either to show where the parcel was "left". The evri chat bot has referred me back to the supplier, where nearly a week down the line I'm waiting on a reply....

I've watched the Scotland National team on many an occasion and, while Catalonia may not be a nation, Catatonia certainly is

Farmers treated very differently from the rest of society.  Surprise, surprise.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-63961659

Livestock farms in England polluted rivers 300 times last year, causing 20 major incidents, according to the latest government figures.

Yet only six farms were prosecuted in 2021, with the Environment Agency giving out warning letters instead.

The dairy industry - mostly thanks to the waste its millions of cows produce - is the worst environmental offender, linked to half of all farm pollution.

The government said prosecution was a last resort for persistent offenders.


Surely prosecution should be the last resort for first offenders but other offenders should be prosecuted before they become ‘persistent’.

Mrs Raff for sometime now has suggested that in my old age I am going deaf, selective hearing was more my viewpoint.

Anyway after much persuasion I contacted my GP who contacted the Audiology Department at the local Hospital and I was told an appointment would be forthcoming.

I received the appointment letter today,

this is a quote from their letter:

"Due to ongoing concerns with Covid the department is reducing the number face -to-face consultations, your appointment will be a telephone consultation.".

I can see a whole conversation of me saying "Speak up" , "Sorry can you repeat that" and the likes.
