How would you do that with chip and pin? When I filled up but had no means to pay as I'd picked my wife's card up I was left in a difficult situation

No as I was annoyed by the time delays I'd already encountered en route, I didn't want any further ones. Cloth?

I'd have thought with all the things you preach you'd be the first one to help out a brother The way I saw it was he seemed quite genuine and the mug of coffee had just cost me £1 less than the fuel and I might just have helped him out from a horrid day. If I did, I'm pleased to help. If I was mugged, my loss is £5 so on the risk/reward ratio I thought it stacked up

Paid directly for the fuel. If he had asked for the cash I'd have said no, but he specifically asked for fuel.

Not sure if I've been kind or been mugged. Just outside Oxford I was returning to my car parked at the services after a pit stop and a bloke came up to me in a bit of distress with a petrol can. After the initial concearned that the school secretary was getting revenge by having me burnt to death was not the case he informed me he had run out of fuel on the motorway and wondered if I'd help him out by paying for a small amount of fuel to get him home as he had forgotten his wallet. I obliged and he was surprised at the gesture but I hope I wasn't mugged. I suppose unless he is an arsonist the fuel isn't worth much on it's own. Would you have helped out or told him to do one?

Greetings

Very funny

Any neighbours wearing any face masks

Black neighbours I don't have an issue with. Neighbours wearing ski masks I have a big issue with.

All my neighbours are as white as a sheet of a4

I'd forgotten the official name

I was in the post office the other day and it clearly says on the door to remove anything covering your face, similar to the banks. A women was in there wearing those ski mask things so I had a go at her asking why she felt she was exempt from the rules?

It's not happened to me often but I've done similar that the puzzle seems so difficult but next day answer comes to you in a flash.

It reminds me how much I love and trust automation. When I look at the amount of screw ups v the amount of work we do, it's nothing. I'm a bit like Jeff in this idealism that we can get close to perfection all the time.

I've started saying oh god a number of times of late . . .

I think with the volume of sins you'd struggle to get admission to any of them.

I've already upset them this week with some comments

What's alcohol got to do with it?

Where we stayed at the lodge site fees are £2.5k a year which sounds good until I worked out there were 30 lodges and in that money they had to pay for 3 staff, maintain the pool, grounds, gym etc and the. Worked out they must be in 50p an hour each.

My email from amzimon says guaranteed!

Lol The 1000s of customers sounds exciting until you do £35 - vat x 1000 and work out that it pays for nothing

So in effect, if you don't put the price up, Due to inflation each year you work for less money. I can't compute where that makes business sense?

That was well funny, I have good neighbours in both sides, so taking parcels in isn't an issue. My mum detests one of hers and the courier took a parcel round and left a card saying it was next door. I'd have laid money to see that episode when she collected it.

Well, every little helps . . .
