General Chat

We were there in September on holiday and must say we saw a big change in the cost of things so will listen to advice, but it's a while before we decide and we've only talked about it, but I think I understand what you mean. It used to be so different but it's a long time ago.

Babs--'the times they are a'changing'-really depends on the colour of your skin ,and your bank balance--don't be too hasty !

hi me

We lived in Cyprus many moons ago and we didn't take the car for an MOT, just took a fiver to the garage instead. Love Cyprus you lucky thing you, have thought if we retire abroad it would definately be there

Have always felt slightly embarrased about it but don't take the car for any work now, leave that to OH, who also thought it was highly hilarious and told everyone at work, I mean everyone and he was in the RAF at the time.
Can laugh now........................

Don't feel too much of an idiot Babs-here cars are required mot every second year......
So guess who took theirs in ,arranged transport to and from work to be told by lovely guy at garage-bring it back next year when it's due!!

oh hilarious, you are definately in the lead Babs, lol it was the "and guess what the b....ards didn't do the MOT" pmsl.

Well I know that now KItty but at the time I was rushing to work and knew I was going to be late, suppose it was a bit much expecting them to do the MOT after all that.

Do you reckon I might win the award lol xxx

*rolls eyes*

Oh Barbara, what a daft thing to do.............and how could they do the MOT without the keys??

Me
Took car for MOT left it early in the morning and the garage wasn't open, left it right in front of garage roller door and posted HOUSE keys and took CAR key to work, hadn't left my work number at garage only home number, so was very red faced when I went back 8 hours later to pick it up and they had had to bump it away so they could get into the garage and guess what the b....rs didn't do the MOT

Stella,Have,t you heard the Song," These Indesits" are made for walking,and thats just what they do,and one of these days its gonna walk all over you.Kitty,You should have gone to the Garage in your "Green Godess".**M**.:o)))))))>

Have to say i had a phone call from Indesit this morning about my washer, i complained about the girl i spoke to the other day and this guy was most apologetic and said he would be putting a complaint in to her manager.
So that has now been resolved ..and i feel better !

For me first prize goes to the to idiots sat in their white van on yellow lines in a very narrow side street watching the traffic warden put a ticket on the car behind them.
They decided to shoot off when she'd finished - but were so busy playing their game they forgot to look in front. Luckily I had my eye on them as I crossed the road and managed to shout a few well chosen words!! Oh and the warden got their number!!

Second are the tw*ts who think driving backwards (so they're facing the right way) down a one way street is acceptable!!! One car does it regularly - shame he often meets me who 'happens' to be half way across the road behind him as he backs up LOL (my timing's getting really good - If I tell him enough times what he is, he may take the hint that it's not acceptable.) - mind you his heads so far up his bum he probably thinks I'm in the wrong!!

Third goes to the cars who park on the pavement of these same narrow streets and block half the road, meaning any other car has to mount the pavement on the OTHER side of the road to get by. Meanwhile, there are pedestrians wandering up the middle of the road because they can't walk on the pavement one side, and know it's lethal to walk on the other side!!

Oh yes, and pedestrians find it useful to know which way a vehicle is turning!!!!

Kitty you banana LOL

Colin ha ha

Eastender that beggars belief

Eeyore so glad they missed, perhaps you're on a list like this somewhere.

In the end I was stomping about and getting really cross with myself....................I was just about to phone the garage and say I would be late when I remembered handing the keys over!! LOL

3rd Place goes to whoever it was got in front of my BMW today

2nd Place goes to the the inconsiderate lorry driver blocking my way in my second car a Kia.

Top place though goes to the person following me, when I thought Gosport roads were way to dangerous today and decided to get my moped out.

Only kidding but its a dodgy ole place is Gosport driving conditions most of the time

pmsl...reminds me of me ...!

hi Kitty xxx

LOL Kitty - love it!!

Mary
