My rear garden is north facing, so rarely sees the sun over the winter months. The slabs start to go green and manky, so do mine every spring.

« on: 23 March 2024, 21:16:00 »Just how much mess pressure washing the patios madeI can only do about 45mins a day, as the water doesn't drain quick enough after a while once the adjacent grass is waterlogged
In my limited defence, they haven't had much more than an annual scrub since we had them built 22 years ago
That said, they look like new and I can honestly say that I am glad I went with a pressure washer with a water cooled motor... Three hours almost non stop without so much as a splutter

« on: 21 March 2024, 10:18:11 »I think our council tax came through the other day, £2800 I think, to empty the bins 26 times unless there is a hint of wintery weather...Forgot to put my garden bin out last night.
Now I have to waste a few hours bagging the contents and taking it to the tip.
Despite having to pay council tax of over £1600 pa ( which to me only covers having the bins emptied) we now have to pay extra (cant remember how much - circa £75 pa) to have our garden waste bin emptied.
Our green bin was around £40 since they started charging, but doubled this year, no doubt to help pay for the bone idle lame and lazy.
And, despite charging us 2800/26 = >£100 each time they empty our bins, they want to either half our bin sizes, or move to collection every 3 weeks. Knowing West Northants council, former South Northants council before they blew all their money on a new office block and went bankrupt, they'll do both.

An old Micra cabriolet pulled in front of me, so I had to do a full on emergency stop. Never mind, we all make mistakes, so I just followed her along to the next village at a rapid 20mph.... ....where she did exactly the same to another car!
At the first opportunity, I decided to overtake, look in mirror after, she's swerving all over the road, my immense 50mph to overtake must have scared her witless

« on: 20 March 2024, 21:00:14 »Just used one of their new touch screen fuel pumps.Always had to select round these parts, unless it was a Pay at Pump only, or the kiosk was closed
Am I imagining it or ... on the old pumps if you just put your debit/credit card in, that the machine just registered the fact that you were going to pay at the pump or did you HAVE to choose pay cashier or pay at pump.
Woman cashier said you had to choose ..... I said you didn't

Merc drivers. All of them. Retards.
I can only assume the stupid handbrake pedal confuddles their drivers. Not seen a single Merc get over 25mph in NSL all day, FFS.
