Some tit has tipped out my wheelie bin at the road end and taken great care to empty all the bin bags. Not an animal unless it arrived on a push bike and carefully placed an old bathmat on top of empty bin when finished........
2nd time something like this has happened, last time it travelled half mile up the road till the wheels came off. Took me an hour t find wheels and axle on the verges.
Diiiicks!

Somebody trying to steal your identity? Might be worth logging it with the police just in case ...

Maybe, good point. We burn anything with personal details on it . Hopefully after dredging thru a thick seam of fortnight old disposable nappies they won’t be back.

Vehicle recovery services' over-reliance on flipping Google maps.
Broke down in car on small local road. Phoned RAC (I'm with them on this year's insurance provider), and established where nearest town and nearest village are.
Me: I'm on the road between Farm X and Farm Y on road (compass direction) from the village, right near the (long established feature of the Highway).
RAC: Sorry, but I can't see them.
Me: They're between Crossway N and Crossway O, (estimated distance) on (compass direction) from the village.
RAC: Sorry, I can't see them. Is there a business nearby?
Me: Yes, both the Farms are working farms. They're businesses.
RAC: No, I mean is there a business near where you are?
Eventually, I dredge my memory for a non-farming business away from the road where I am as it grows increasingly dark and forbidding outside the car.
RAC: Ah, got that! And would Fluffybunnikins Holt be anywhere near you?
Me: Where?
RAC repeats, and I have to trawl back 20 years to when the farmhouse and old buildings of Farm W were sold off. Fluffybunnikins Holt could be the name foisted upon a holiday let by its newest set of owners. Turns out it is.
I've checked, and the only way such a nonsensical, timewasting, potentially endangering conversation could have come about is because the RAC doesn't use Ordinance Survey.
I was fortunate to be in my own area. Had I not, I'd still be stuck there!! [Grrrrrrr!]

You are lucky to have been found, We always give our post code for deliveries - about 3 a day on average - The post code gets drivers here every time as we are the only thing in it.
Just lately all our deliveries that are coming by sat-nav have been going to another farm 6 miles away, down a long farm track, the postcode has been uploaded wrong by a famous search engine that begins with G, they say that they won't be taking modifications or complaints about this for some time Grrrr

Why won't the G— word team correct its mistake? Not even the RPA maps are that inaccurate.

That's big tech for you, they are so busy moving on to the next exciting game changer/i Whatsit/disruptor that they never pause to clear up their own mess.

Maybe it's more cynical. Google promotes that which manipulates its algorithms most for advertising and promotions, doesn't it?
Think that's why the maps are so very odd. They've used the information from trades directories and plugging agencies because it suits them for convenience, rather than because they wish to provide an accurate service.
only a couple of slices of Chrissy cake left ...
A post elsewhere reminded me of the journey of despair. In other words, visiting the attic. First of all struggle up the stairs, and along the landing with a step ladder. Then wrangle the trap door loose. For some bizarre reason, there's a false ceiling placed on top of the original, so you have to wrangle the trap door through a second opening. All the while showered with mouse crap etc,etc.
Trapdoor is only 18" wide, so out of the question for fat barstewards. Once you reach the destination, trepidation builds. Never found anything " nice " in a loft yet. What will it be this time, mice ? rats ? birds nest ? yet another leak ?. Phew, it's just mice. By the racket generated, I thought I'd find a herd of elephants.
Lay out some fresh bait, and hope the buckets collecting drips will last out another few months
Yet another of those " jobs " that earn f**k all.

the hidden magnet on the front bumper of my lorry seems to pull in unexpected motorists passing me at the last minute or those overtaking on a motorway at high speed its powerful thing like the lynx effect

A M A Z O N ! ! ! I've been trying most of the afternoon to make a direct contact - by e mail or any other way . I've been a Prime member (and paid of course) for quite a time , and now they've almost disowned me . My page is still headed with my name OK but it says that I have had no orders in the last six months , (I've had many !)and that I'm not even a Prime member . So I've retaken their offer of a free trial , cancelled by non existent original membership , and I'll see how I go from there -- always being mindful that they don't take my sub. twice .
