  1. Poor Micky, what a welcome to SF. 🥴
  2. Aldi usually ask if you want your receipt. Unless I've got something that may need to be returned I always say no as I think it saves on paper. If their policy is now to search bags they should give receipts as a matter of course. I certainly will make sure I get one now.
  3. No, swallownest. I know I shouldn't take it personally but that's what it feels like. 🤬
  4. Just been to Aldi and the checkout assistant asked to look in my bags. When I asked why she said because a lot of money was walking out of the doors. Now I didn't argue with her because I know she was only doing as she had been told. However I noticed the person behind me didn't have to open his bag. I came away feeling quite aggrieved, I hadn't done anything to make anyone think I'd stolen something. I can understand that theft must be a big problem but really, is the answer to treat the customer like a thief. If this subject has already been raised I apologise, but I just feel so angry.
  5. Yes you may be right but what possible reason was there for the caller to ask if I could hear him when it was a perfectly clear line. I ended the call and he didn't call me back which seems suspicious. But my point is that whether it's an urban myth or not it's always best to assume the worse.
  6. It's worrying that these calls seem to be escalating. My friend had a text last week saying 'mum it's me, WhatsApp me asap'. She hasn't got any children so knew it was a scam. There will be some vulnerable people who'll fall for it so I think dismissing them as 'urban myths' is a bit foolhardy. It's best to err on the side of caution imo.
  7. I answered because it was a local number and I thought it may have been something to do with my present situation. I don't know if they can make use of your voice which is why I said it seemed far fetched. I only know a man said 'can you hear me ok?' which I thought was odd
  8. I read a few weeks ago that there's a scam where someone says 'can you hear me?' when you answer. If you say yes they are using this as voice recognition to make purchases. I thought it sounded a bit far fetched until this morning when my phone rang. I answered it and a man said ' Hi, can you hear me ok?' I put the phone down!
  9. Husband died at Christmas and I can't get into the routine of cooking for one. I just keep having the same stuff day after day, usually fish. ☹️
  10. It's just reality TV pretending to be something intellectual imo.
  11. Arnold & Graham in the Moor Market have got a good reputation. Might be worth a try.
  12. Same happened to me some years ago. I took my watch to Hinds at CP's and they quoted me over £100 to replace the battery and as it was quite an expensive watch it would have to be sent off to London. I declined the offer and took it to a man in the market (he's no longer there). It took him a few minutes to change the battery and he charged me a couple of quid. The battery lasted for a long time before he replaced it for me again. When I told the assistant at Hinds she said that they're highly trained and the man in the market wasn't! I never went there again.
  13. At this precise moment in time. Or in other words - Now.
  14. I tried that. Turn the cover inside out, put the top and corners of the duvet in line with the cover them pull the cover down. In theory it works. In practice it doesn't !
  15. If it's your wallet, the bigger the better.
  16. We lived at Parson Cross. In those days it was a lovely place to live. Very safe and close to greno woods. We used to go out to play in the morning and not come home until tea time. No one worried as everyone kept an eye on each other. Can't remember anyone being burgled or anything like that. There wasn't much traffic around so we were free to cross roads without the fear of getting run over. It was a council estate but the vast majority of people cared for their homes and gardens. I think after the war people were just grateful to be given nice affordable houses to live in so they respected their properties. There was still a lot of poverty around though and people struggled to make ends meet but I think we were a lot happier living on a council estate than people are these days. Just my opinion, I may be wrong.
  17. I don't see anything wrong with men or women crying in public. However it's now gone too far. People cry at the drop off a hat these days. Same as swearing. Nothing wrong with it when you're really annoyed but it's become part of everyday language.
  18. I've used safestyle twice, last time was this summer. Both times I found them very professional and provided good quality product. I was amazed to hear of them going under and feel so sorry for all the workers.
  19. My friend lives at catcliffe and has sent me photos of the floods. It's shocking to think that it's as bad as it was 15 years ago. The council have obviously not learnt from experience.
  20. I used to work with a Plonka and a Pilak.
  21. If it is a 16 year old he'll probably just get a slap on the wrist and be allowed to continue his life of crime.
