Hwch my uncle used to say which I think is Sow but if a ewe wouldn’t load into a trailer they’d be called a hwch 🤣
Is Ham as in short for Hambon (idiot) welsh or English?
Yr hen hwch....now that's enough about my ex 😂

I haven't heard of Hambon being abbreviated to Ham. I'm not sure whether it's an English or Welsh word actually 🤔

There's a good video on Hambons here (not sure if there's English subtitles available) -

I wish it was that easy! 1st u have to work your way though multiple options having made sure not only that you're using a landline .. cordless .. but that you have a 2nd one charged up in case the first one goes flat because of the wait ... and believe me, I've had it happen! This is the one advantage over a mobile. Yes, you can carry on working all round the house, but they will eventually answer .. if you're lucky .. when you are as far away as possible from where all the relevant papers are... or worse .. in the loo! No longer do you get ' good afternoon, sorry to keep you waiting', now it's 'what's your account number' and if you don't answer in about 10 seconds flat .. and all your notes are further away than that .. they hang up! 🤬
That's me buggered then, haven't had a land line for years.

I’m a big believer in putting anything important in a written letter, don’t know if it carry’s more weight or if they just laugh at me at the other end but it keeps me happy/sane
I had a long running telephone battle with the RPA (months) when they removed our entitlements and sent us a breathtaking invoice, all because they had misread a date. I rang them every day in ever increasingly desperate tones but the problem wasn't solved until I wrote to them in red felt tip on a big piece of paper. I think they thought I had finally lost the plot and they were probably not wrong.

I send stuff like that recorded delivery, that way there’s no denying they’ve had it and they know it.............I don’t have a lot of faith in large organisations being entirely honest when it suits them.

just make something up. The trouble is, nothing letoff steam better than a proper, good old swear. You can try and be as polite as you like, the moment you’ve finished the conversation you’ll have to let it out in private.

My Dad was great at swearing. Just the right word at just the right time. He managed to put the F word in to a sentence four times in a row without any other words in between one day whilst particularly exasperated. For a mild mannered chap as he was it was something to behold. The volume of each of the four rose as the sentence went on, steadily and with gravity.
It was extremely impressive.

It went something like…. “I’ve just about had enough of this f***ing, f***ing……F***ing, F***ING WEATHER!! “
Pete I never heard your Dad swear, he was an absolute gentleman.

'Thunderçunt of Hades' works well in those unique contexts where simple sweary words don't cut it, like when I put my clavicle out through the skin and the ambos began cleaning the grass and sheepshit off it with something that felt like caustic on a bit of sacking
