Heard a pretty good description one day.....
”He’s the kind of Fella who would tell his Father how to get bairns”
Suppose in the interests of modern day thinking I should add the word “She’s “ and because of that “Person” as well...

Had my truck serviced yesterday and I know it’s low mileage but hardly been anywhere due to COVID.got home and read receipt as I then had access to my glasses and looked at the cost of oil.£91.50 for 7.5 litres.i called and questioned it but told it was part of service and lady said it was very special toyota oil and that was the price.i told her it was made by an oil company and put in toyota marked containers but she would not have it.anyone else been fleeced for oil at garages or dealers.seems extortionate to me

That's why it's so expensive, they have to carefully open all the 0.1L bottles and pour each one in the filler cap.
Won’t be buying oil from your supplier

5th of May and it is now snowing heavily (South Lanarkshire). If it wasn't for the length of daylight at the moment I could swear it was the 5th of January it is that cold.

Wasteful idiotic booking in procedures at Regional Distribution Centres.
When I first began in the courier industry the acceptance that waiting an hour for someone to sign for a consignment was not unusual took me months to get used to and it has has been known for a 7 hour wait to occur. (Waiting time for a basic van and driver is never less than £15 per hour).
A new one on me yesterday - had a guy with a small curtainsided tail-lift van refused (11 boxes at 2 kg each shrink wrapped on to a pallet) because despite there being a forklift and a forklift ramp at the end of 20 loading docks. My driver was willing and able to pick up the 2kg boxes individually and place them on a loading lock or allow forklift access to unload by opening a curtain but oh no - You must get another booking in slot and return with a minimum 18 tonne wagon which can unload directly onto the dock.
Extra cost involved is going to be £250 after we put a mark up on it - The sender of the goods just rolls over and accepts the extra costs having already agreed to pay us for the "failed" delivery

The word ban I’d like to see it banned
seems to be widely used on most topics on all platforms
don’t understand it so ban it seems to be the main reason for its over use

When I got up this morning we had 1/2 an inch cover of snow. We may need to buy more straw in if it keeps up like this. Plenty silage thankfully.5th of May and it is now snowing heavily (South Lanarkshire). If it wasn't for the length of daylight at the moment I could swear it was the 5th of January it is that cold.

just to change the topic bloody call centers my mobile went on strike so I went online to Vodaphone I was on there over an hour told chap one who just could not grasp what i was telling him he passed me on to chap two after twenty minutes then I spent twenty-five minutes with chap three after half an hour with chap three he told me to phone this number so I then spent fifteen minutes on the phone and they told me to try the sim in another handset I don't have another handset so I went down to the workshop blew it off with the airline quick squirt with brake cleaner and put it back together and bingo if that hadn't worked I was going to put it on the anvil and smack it
