I suppose you have to know what was being charged. Perhaps the sums didn't add up, and they need to charge a profitable amount. No point losing money and being a busy fool.
 
Stupid bloody instantly demisting windscreens, you know, the sort with the filaments of wire every couple on mm embedded into them.

Southbound on the M40 this morning, 8.15 near Gaydon, very low and bright sun, I literally could not see a damn thing. I was driving one handed and twisted in my seat to try and get a bit of clear screen doing 60 mph. I slowed down to 40mph but then you’re just in the way.

I noticed quite a few other drivers doing similar things. The sun just made a series of rainbows appear all over the screen as it glinted off the filaments.

Damn stupid idea. All to clear a screen in a few seconds on the drive before dickheads who should get up 5 minutes earlier set off .

These utter knob jockeys at number 10.

Not only have they completely taken the piddle with all these parties held when they were preaching to the rest of us about our civic duty to curtail our lives, winding the population up to 99 about the danger of spreading the virus in order to ensure compliance, but it now turns out they were even pissing it up, ignoring all their own rules, partying into the early hours of the morning of Prince Philip’s funeral, where our head of state, his wife of 70 odd years, sat alone in the church.

Have some feckin respect you shower of shite.

And as for the BBC and their snidey little sex pistols “god save the queen” dig, I’m not much of a royalist, especially what with paedo Andy plus the expat mangina bellend over in the USA, but the Queen is a different league. what is it with these over-paid privileged media gobshites? Glad that lad has had a go at their paedo statue with his lump hammer.

Dunno why I’m so grumpy tonight. 🤣

Imagine the palaver if someone said they’d rather it was operah or whoopi or Meghan who’d died. Be another round of BLM marches.

Fed up with the double standards.

Had the offer of a days shooting today with dad and grandad. So I took it as you do. Left instructions for our kid. Nice easy day, just feed a few things around home. Bed all suckler cows up. Nothing hard. Set my phone too transfer all calls too his phone so any wintering men with problems bothered him not me. Perfect 👌👌

Had a brilliant days shooting, half way home I switch call transfer off. Within minutes the phone is going “you’ve a knackered battery behind the church! I’ve put the lambs back and stood the wire up. Can you come sort it?” 😫😫😫 so home, changed out of breeks etc into overalls and I’m now 90 minutes from home, fixed fence new battery. Bloody sheep!!!

People's reliance on computery, decided to go into town today as I had a spare few hours. I've been needing an eye test for a while now so decided to go to Vision Express and looked up the website and as suggested booked a slot for 2pm. All done according to the website so at 2pm in I go to be met with a blank face. Our computer systems have crashed, we are not due what's going on.
Give the chap his due he did say to give him 10 minutes to see what he could do and after I had said I had somewhere else to be at 3 seeing as the test would be at least 30 minutes he did get me sorted.
All the staff where saying on how sorry they were about their problems but as I pointed, I am from a generation that didn't have computers to rely on and we coped so just get on with it and it'll all work out in the end
 
BBC again.🤦‍♂️

Why is it headline news Adele having to cancel the start of a residency in Las Vegas?🤷‍♂️

Who actually cares.
It’s the only thing they could think of to break the relentless cycle of stories (because it’s not news) about LGBQTeapots / people of ethnic diversity / climate emergency. The BBC ‘news’ is so cringeworthy I struggle to not switch off these days.
