And it's filtering into all walks of life. Been trying to get a simple :rolleyes: agreement drawn up for a shed tenancy.... Much hoop jumping, only to fall at the last hurdle wanting passport identification to check for money laundering ?‍♂️...... me passport's out of date......£80 to renew?. Think I'll leave it for now, and put it on the mull it over pile.
Don't know which is bigger, the too complicated I'll leave it for now and mull it over pile, or the Red Tractor assurance pile. Actually, it might be the I can't afford it till I win the lottery pile. No wait, nothing is bigger than the I'll leave it for a wet day pile. Or is it.......
 
The RAC , I received this text message today & I had cancelled my membership last October . It transpires that the keyboard monkey at the aforementioned organisation didn’t cancel it & it was automatically renewed . Anyhow they’re making a refund of the £125 fee .

Perhaps they were doing a hedge diversification of species survey ? ;)
 
+1 . Agree entirely . Those sites also that won't let you access them without giving them access to your innermost thoughts and actions , citing concerns about my security . What also grinds my gears , are those TV presenters ( and there are many)who cannot or will not pronounce "VuLnerable " saying "VuNNerable . FFS , it's not an impossible linguistic exercise surely , especially for one whose job presumably relies on clarity of speech .
Websites that object to me using an adblocker. If I'm trying to watch a video or read a magazine or newspaper article I don't want constant pop ups advertising things like time shares, holidays in Namibia, door bolts, or how Net App is helping data storage in the University of Wollongong, all of which came up around an Autocar article this morning.

BT. What a shower of unhelpful useless jobsworths.
Won't come and fix the landline, till they can verify who I am, by sending a PIN to my email which I have to send back. ?‍♂️ But I can't email cos I ain't got no landline......:scratchhead:
Had to do my own fault finding, go up the ladder, and fix the problem myself.

£800 f**king quid a year I'm forking out for this. The days of the landline are numbered here. Been saying that for 3 years though.....:(

EE 4G hub for the broadband (if you have 4G) and the mobile for everything else.
Don't use the landline anymore. Not had a problem since.
