JDX, the "OI!" was directed at Lizzie, not Albs, for her slur on Essex folk. 

Ron.

What is it with Essex girls?

They can't all be thick and have loose knicker elastic.

....Yes they can...

I am not good at paying other than cheap
I will accept all the flag that is just about to arrive but what's the point in paying more? Aren't you just paying for the name?

OI!

I don't think Albs was referring to you Ron 
I have not had any serious trouble here in the last 9 years. I can only speak as I find I guess, which is why I am surprised at the comments received.
You must be right in the thick of it Albs, given your degree of knowledge
Peoples perception of places, towns, is very interesting. A lot of work colleagues, when they ask where do you live & I reply Halstead, time & time again they have said "Oh it's lovely there, a nice part of Essex, much better than where I live"

Where is it written that life is fair & we are all equal? We are not & if you are born with a silver spoon in your mouth or on the wrong side of the tracks - you have to deal with it...

Sorry to hear that!

I would say that is most unusual, as vandalism is one thing, but to steal one wiper, with I assume no other damage, is strange.

There are not many of our Omega's on the road, so for an owner of one to find another to steal one wiper...............??!!

Hope you haven't scratched the windscreen as that could be far more costly than replacing the wiper

The different length of wiper might have meant the other was the incorrect one, maybe?



JDX - sorry to hear, this country is fast becoming a shithole

Thanks, it's not the end of the world of course but in general I don't think things are going in the right direction.
When times get tougher, people resort to all manner of things much more serious than a wiper blade - no police presence on the street anymore, easy to get away with minor stuff I guess...

Knowing the town you live in, it doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Plenty of nutters around there. It could be worse though, you could live in Hedingham. 

I have liked it here & have not had any previous issues really, although I have heard lots of stories - not sure how many of them are chinese whispers!
Do tell Albs, whats wrong with Hedingham?

I agree it's extremely unusual - never happened before - interestingly, the car wasn't parked outside the house as usual because we had visitors & we only have limited parking so I had parked it round the corner. So, it was on a side street, not directly outside a house in the middle of a well known parking spot for 5 or 6 cars.
Is it possible it fell off? I can't see how it could...

Put an old windscreen wiper on the car before I left for work because it was nicked in the night!
Has put me in a good mood for being back at work

I got into the car this morning, turned the wipers on & the drivers side wiper was not there! Thieving bastards.........
Of course, I didn't notice before the sweep so have probably put a dirty great scratch across the screen 
Happy New Year one & all....
