  1. A bit steep? That is extortionate. We paid that to have around 12 m2 (not sure what that is in feet) in windows replaced, with full oak frame and glass. That is several years ago and in the Netherlands, but I suggest you ring around, ignore the big 'Window' centres, find a good tradesman instead.

     

    Thanks for the reply, think we may look at getting a flat window in :)

    My fiancé is a window/door fitter and he says it would be a lot cheaper to stay with a flat window. It will be expensive to convert from a flat to a bow window.

     

    Thanks, thought it would be more expensive, bit shocked with the price quoted though :)


  2. We'd like a bit of advice please, we've just come home from our caravan at Chapel St Leonard's, we parked our car in the co op car park as we couldn't get a disabled space we parked up and displayed my blue badge. We did our shopping in the co op, went and had some dinner I'm sure there's no signs up well we didn't see one...

    As we're nearing 70 were not as quick as we were and I'm registered disabled, they say we were there an hour and a half I'm not sure about this :huh:

    How legal is this piece of paper anyone know, I'm all for not paying but my husband is a bit wary...thanks for any help :


  3. Hi, I've always used ear buds but fed up of them falling out, need some advice on headphones. I need them for my smart phone and IPad been looking on Amazon but they're either dirt cheap or out of my range money wise...where's the best place to buy them Don't want anything too technical as I'm an oldie ?


  4. With better antibiotic treatments available, it is less of a threat than it used to be.

    Complications can still arise, usually if contracted when already suffering some other illness, leading to longer term issues.

     

    Thanks cgksheff Eased my mind a bit :)


  5. ive just read that Derbyshire has got a few cases of this occurred in last few days.

    Anyone know if this is serious today. I had this as a 3 yr old 60 odd yrs ago, I was in an isolation ward at LodgeMoor terrible memories of seeing my mum and dad behind a glass wall


  6. im having problems with some abusive messages on Messenger, when I questioned the person involved, he said his account had been hacked, and one of his friends said they had received the same...

    This person wasn't on my friends list so I don't know how he could do it, I'm 66 and disabled so can do without this.

     

    Anyway after all that, what I want to know can I delete/ disable FB Messenger?

     

    Then I wouldn't see anything...


  7. Just make sure you print these things off so you have a hard copy.

     

    Thanks for all the advice, I've since found out he says it's his FBaccount that's been hacked, and a couple of his friends off the site have had the same thing.

    I got another one on my Messenger this morning, supposed to have come off the same person..

    I've deactivated my account for a while cos it's getting a bit tiresome now, but I can't get rid of Messenger :huh::huh:


  8. Warn him that you will report him to the police WHEN this happens again, don't do it if it has stopped now. Make sure you keep all the messages you receive (if necessary make screenshots).

     

    He could face a nasty case of harassment if he carries on, some people unfortunately still need educating about the fact that what you say through social media (of any sort) actually arrive in exactly the same manner as when said in public/to your face.

     

    We have a long way to go as a digital society.

     

    In the mean-time, don't respond, it might go away, also consider moving to a different caravan site if possible, this one sounds like it is even worse than most.

     

    Thanks for this advice, we're still going to speak to the site owners tomorrow ☎️


  9. Thanks for answering, yes I'm ringing the site owners tomorrow, and I am an OAP ? He's not on my friends list but I have friends on his, I can only assume he's got through that way through messenger..

     

    Some of the words were "hiya tubby" "ignorant sod' " fatso" he found a photo of mine and drew moustache beard and massive eyebrows in thick black felt tip..

     

    All this in a joking manner ( supposedly) as I've never spoken to the man before this is wierd...

     

    He's a big friend of the outgoing wardens, they were sacked, I've no idea why, but I didn't get involved with the weeping and wailing from other van owners when these wardens went, maybe I didn't look sorry enough I don't know...


  10. ive received a veiled intimidating message from someone that I've never spoken to, but I've seen this person around on the site where we have a caravan.

     

    It's also insulting, as I'm disabled and 67 yrs old I can do without this...

     

    Anyone know what I could do, I was thinking of ringing the owners of the site, I don't want this snowballing into something I can't handle..

     

    I also don't want my hubby thinking he's got have any stand up arguments with this person, my hubby's the same age as me, this mans in his 40's

     

    :(


  11. Please don't skimp money on the cooker, as someone who experienced carbon-monoxide poisoning on our boat (I only realised what was going on when one of the guests was being sick in their sleep and I had a cracking headache) I can also advice you to invest a fiver on a carbon monoxide alarm regardless.

     

    Thanks tzijlstra, no worries we've no intention of skimping:) we've had CM in our house for years, also got one in this van sorry to hear about your problem, sounds like you were very lucky
