Yes but it's just so boring........

I know.....it made an awful sound shan't sleep tonight

Following on from the icy out there for last night, tonight it's a bit scary where I am, just had a gust of 76 mph is sounded really scary... see this link for the live weather http://www.sheffieldweather.co.uk/meso2/ Just waiting now for all the usual 'windy' jokes

Ah Ok thanks, it needs energising then, bit like me!

Hmmmm this is about the 5th time in the last few months

What's '5th core network' ?

Every few weeks the lighting on the street is off, I never get an answer as to why they are off, I report on the SCC website but it got me wondering that this is happening every few weeks, is it a cost cutting exercise? Does this happen elsewhere? It's a few streets in the area round Derbyshire Lane/Norton Lees Road.

A few weeks ago a withheld number number called, I could hardly tell what he was talking about so after he called twice I was rude to him and told him where to get off, I was so annoyed by his persistence. It didn't stop him, he must have called back 5 times that night, each time leaving the line open in silence so I couldn't call out or end the call, in the end I left the phone off the hook, some people would have felt intimidated by this though, his call was an unwanted intrusion.In the end I used a tactic from many years ago when I was told by BT, press a couple of buttons on the handset and say 'SY Police tracing the call' he didn't call back after that!

I totally agree, my poor Mum is frightened by these calls

As above please, have used the Media Devils magicscreen but they don't seem to last long...

No, they have now got cocky saying, it doesn't matter as we aren't trying to sell you anything'

Bit of a dilemma looking for what I should do here. My Mum had an ideal logic boiler fitted in 2011. It was fitted by a family member who unbeknown to me didn't service it for her, she has dementia so never though about it. So I am assuming the 5 year guarantee is not in place which is a pity as that was the reason we chose this model. At the moment she is always cold so the heating is on 24/7, in fact it's been this was for a while as I can't figure out the settings to be honest and if it's on the timer sometimes the hot water doesn't work. She has just had a letter from ideal asking if she wants to have a yearly service for £85 then £107 the following year but I suppose as the book isn't filled in it still isn't guaranteed. Is it worth taking up this option? How much is a service normally?

So very true!

Twiglet it was taken from the royal mail website, interestingly the link you gave me states 'food of any kind' I know I've sent Cadburys before

I think it's worth the risk though the post will cost much more than the £6 bottle!

I am thinking of risking one of their 1 litre plastic bottles...

spot on again to both comments...

I'm always curteous when purchasing my ticket and always say thank you when getting off, good manners isn't it?

He just had a go at her for not having the right money, really loudly embarrassing her

To be fair the other morning I got on a bus and was greeted with a 'good morning' it was a really pleasant surprise they aren't all miserable (well maybe 5% of them aren't! )

Daughter asked for a 70p fare with a £2 coin, she didn't have the right change, he let her on but not without a rant on his part, Surely they carry more that this in change? I could have understood it if it was a tenner!

Speaking of flocks of birds, this last week there have been hundreds of birds gathered in the trees round the back of Debenhams, trying to identify them, I think they sounded like Goldfinches..

Call ELR on 281 6161

No, No it has to be on my way home from work, on Chesterfield Road to brighten these dark days, missing your work. Oh for a broken lamp post...n
