    £26k

    Then it wants £15k to get it in paint, then fitting out, another £40k? Where do they get their ideas from? As it stands it’s scrap money!
  2. I’m well insulated, and not old enough for the male menopause…
  3. I can’t seem to win mate, I’m either way too hot or way too cold. There never seems a middle ground.
  4. Stifling, 26 degrees in my box with all the windows open, absolutely no breeze.
  5. I’m not saying it’s wrong Doug, a rural post office is possibly classed as a well known landmark, after all most of them were grand buildings, not like the post office counters of today. When you get into big towns and cities you need a notional centre point, which very often isn’t the centre of the area.
  6. No c in mush.
  7. How can this be?, take Stoke-on-Trent, six towns makeup the city, all of the towns have/had main post offices. From what I’ve read it’s always been to well known landmarks.

    DHL

    To tell you the truth I don’t give a flying why it wasn’t delivered on time, just tell me when it will be here, not sending numerous messages telling me it’s on its way. I’ve told a customer that the parcel will be delivered last Friday, I still haven’t got it. Not only do I look dishonest I’ve got to take the cost of putting a tanker in there again today. Can you tell I’m not happy?

    DHL

    I wouldn’t mind but I told a lady on Thursday that I’d have the parcel on Friday because that’s what I was told. It causes problems I don’t need.

    DHL

    Are all couriers shite, it doesn’t seem to matter who I use there’s always a problem, DHL tracker on Friday, parcel will be delivered between 17:10 & 18:10, nope. Next message, your parcel will be delivered on Saturday the 9th, nope. Now the tracker is saying it’s at the delivery depot ready for dispatch tomorrow. It can’t be that difficult, can it?
  11. Road signs get changed as the road changes, mileposts are listed as significant points of interest and don’t get moved,or changed. One near where I used to live was about 2 miles out due to the A134 being straightened in the 1960’s.
  12. You mean the same place where the original Charing Cross (Eleanor Cross) was, and all distances to London are measured from?
  13. Or you could strap yourself to the underside of a truck and get a lift through the Chunnel… Oh, hang on.
  14. Each to their own, I’d be away and thinking about booty later.
  15. Agreed, The UK is a big place to get lost in though. Although he’s young he’s had training in the Armed Forces. He’d got the head to get out with no assistance from outside, surely the idea would then to stay out. Old dogs and new tricks springs to mind.
  16. Daniel Khalife captured in Chiswick. What a clown, four days on the run and not shipping out.
  17. I know, let’s put someone accused of spying in Wandsworth when high security Belmarsh is just down the road.
  18. Normally we’ll known landmarks, the notional centre of London is Charing Cross.
  19. Better by the day😉
  20. Never would anyone get me up there.
  21. No, every village, town, city has a centre point, that’s where road signs should be measured from. Perhaps those few early years working on the roads got me obsessed with crap signage.
  22. I know, but it’s more like 12.5 miles away.
  23. I probably shouldn’t bother, but it’s Walsham, and it’s not 9 miles from Bury-st-Ed’s.
  24. Triggered Mandy, whoever came up with that needs to go to top of the class!😎
