What to stick on his windscreen which wont come off easily? [OT]

Well, to be truthful the housing association cancelled the ticket as they had their own attendants, I think, and received any payments directly, so a quick call and confirming who I was and ticket number cleared things up nice & easy (for once).

Cheers, Stephen

In my experience most misunderstandings with officialdom is easily cleared. I had my tongue in my cheek of course.

It's when you get people in authority in non-official positions that things can get sticky, you end up wading through trreacle trying to get through a non existent door! It doesn't always happen but can be very frustrating when people don't listen to what you're saying :-(

Only you said that.

For the rest of us it was clear enough even without Google.

I worked a few months in France and found the locals would park with their cars touching each other, and would then just shunt them forwards and backwards to create a space to get in/out.

C'est normal en Paris. :(

Because he can't.

Yes.

He doesn't. He's on the waiting list for having both done, so they won't give him a badge, as it's "temporary". Apparently. Still, he's only on the board of the local hospital trust...

With no disrespect, how's that affect your ability to get from one end of the supermarket car park to the other?

Which day is "I just want to buy a pint of friggin' milk and some potatoes because I've run out" day?

What, not even E901 and E948 (mind, E948 is bad for you in large quantities)?

Would stopping off at the supermarket be a high priority on that day?

That wouldn't work. Dotty pensioners don't know which day is which, so would still turn up.

The message from "Depresion" contains these words:

Well, it was on a lighting circuit - as we discovered when we plugged the wallpaper stripper into it and popped the fuse.

That would depend, you may need food,. being disabled doesn't remove that.

I was. If I'd behaved like the brats you see in the supermarket, I'd have deserved the smack I'd have got.

Because I'm a customer. The kids aren't. Their parents are, but they aren't.

Not all kids run about screaming in supermarkets while their fat mouth- breathing parents stock their trolleys up with frozen junk food. I'd suspect there's a reasonable correlation.

Which of course should read "10 items or fewer".

I mentioned this to Asda ages ago. I received no reply, but see that they've changed their "express" checkout designation to "About 10 Items?", which buggers up those customers with one or 2 items :-)

I bet you, in particular, have ingested a fair bit of E901...

I prefer to get the half-decent fresh fruit and veg, and make my own decisions as to alternates if they're out of something I want. I also rarely know a two-hour slot when I'm going to be home a couple of days in advance. As for "later in the evening", why? If I'm passing a supermarket, why shouldn't I use it there and then? Why shouldn't I have a glass or two of wine with my dinner - a dinner that I've decided to cook using (relatively) fresh ingredients bought that day?

Why should I be inconvenienced by somebody else's irresponsibility?
