Can also add a seeming aversion to the more normal street/road/avenue kind of terminology...the more Gates, Wynds, Groves, Walks and so on there are the more likely a place is to have been thrown up by a Barratt tribute act in the last 20 years. One such overpriced negative equity estate I was in near Dyce the other day had Hyde Park, Polo Park, Ash Parade, Beech Manor and Waterton Lawn. Silly b*****ds signed up to a deal in which the detached house estate has a factor who sends everyone an extortionate invoice every time a tree falls down or needs any maintenance. Snow blocking everything though? Not their problem.

Nae wonder they riot. There is an area in Erskine with streets called Portsoy, Cullen and Findochty. No street, avenue etc. Just the place names. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 There is a certain elegant appeal to the recent trend of renaming short street sections to annoy people…the street in front of the Russian Embassy getting renamed something about Ukrainian freedom or such. Just dying for some important poli having their address changed to “The Right Honorable Mr. Chapman, 13 Thieving c**t Way…” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, I saw this on a Latvian museum across the road from the Russian Embassy in Riga back in August. Superb trolling. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayr United just being "Ayr" blows any "maybe it's a space thing?" out of the waters. It's the inconsistency that's grinding my gears. Edinburgh also lost their "City". But that's because the board are twats. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiffRaff Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 What is the difference between a Street and a Road? In Edinburgh you have Princes Street with Lothian Road coming off it for example. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Edinburgh you have Princes Street with Lothian Road coming off it for example. A road is usually named after the place it’s going to, historically. London Road, Ferry Road, Biggar Road, Glasgow Road etc are better examples than Lothian Road although technically it sounds ok. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Tattiescone Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Cleaner just stole £40 from us OK, I'll ask the P&B Massiv here, My wife is disabled and I'm away from home a lot so we have a neighbour come in once a week to do a bit of light cleaning. Anyway, I have a dish I put all my loose change in and after about 3 years there was about £80 in it - I counted it with the grandkids a few weeks ago. This afternoon after the cleaner left, I noticed it looked like someone had scooped out a handful of coins. So I checked it - most of the 50p bits were gone and now there's only £38 in there. Bugger. I'm not going to get the police involved because 1) it's a neighbour, it'll cause bad blood and how do I prove anything, 2) it's only £40. I think I'm just going to tell her we don't need her any more and not to come back. Is that reasonable? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deffo tell them to bolt, I wouldn't be letting anyone back in the house that steals. I suppose the touchy feely additional action would be to consider whether they're really desperate at the moment, and the temptation was just too much? How long have they cleaned for you, and how well do you know them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
