During the Covid 19 lock-down ,If you had family round at Christmas , Police could force entry and make them go home .

Does anybody know if this service is still available , and if you have to book in advance ?   :-\

You say that, but look at the entry price. Even if leased/hp/cash money, the cost of getting into one buys a nice older car and a shit ton of petrol.

Point being if you're spending £350-400 a month to save a couple of tanks of fuel, what have you actually achieved  ???
A nice, new, modern car  :)
Since when did that matter?

When the thought of lying under an old car on the drive in January doesn't seem like fun any more....  :-X
Indeed

Better to WAIT till Feb or March when it's snowing and -5  ;D

Nipped out and fixed the problem. Popped back down the MOT station and get a clean pass.
Alls well that ends well, as old Billy said.  :)
Not bad for nearly 22 years old and 198000 miles.  8)
Congratulations on the MOT  :)
I thought YOU where older than 22  ;D

Royal Mail. Got one of those red "you weren't in" cards through the door yesterday. Not too unusual, but this one just says contact us to arrange re-delivery. So log on, and the only option is to redeliver sometime Mon-Fri  -when I'm at work. There is no option to collect from the local sorting office, and the option to collect from a local post office doesn't work.

No idea what the parcel is - I haven't ordered anything so best guess is someone has sent me a Crizzy prezzie, but I'm fed up with people sending stuff that needs signing for. Just put if through the f*c*ing letter box.
Royal fail now automatically try to re-deliver the next working day now IIRC  :-\

Various tick boxes on this particular red card - including the 'we'll try to redeliver tomorrow' . However, that tick box wasn't ticked, just the please contact us to arrange re-delivery. I've managed to get them to agree to a Saturday delivery when I should be in. However, delivery could be any time between 8am and 8pm - so that's all Saturday screwed.
Let's hope the item is something worth waiting in for then
a new set of tyres for the LC perhaps  >:D

Cold callers.
...

Another cold caller.  Solor panels offer . told him I live in a tent.

Wonder who will ring next?
You've been referred to the 'Camping and portable solar panel team'
You will be contacted shortly  ;D

With "cold calls" I interrupt their scripted spiel  with ...
"I'M NOT INTERESTED ,DON'T WASTE YOUR BREATH, PLEASE REMOVE ME FROM YOUR LIST AND DON'T CALL AGAIN"       "I'M NOT INTERESTED ,DON'T WASTE YOUR BREATH, PLEASE REMOVE ME FROM YOUR LIST AND DON'T CALL AGAIN"
IF they continue , I repeat once more
before using "bad words" as a last resort  >:D

I'm quite happy with my SKY+ box, but they keep contacting me to 'upgrade' to SKY Q
Sky pester us too,
I'm not interested in Sky Q
we've got various "TV screens" dotted about the bunker ,all with "TV LINK magic eye" to view any "Sky shyte" plus freeview and NOW TV for streaming.

Sky Q requires extra charges for each "box"  :o ££££  :o

That was arguably a waste of money unless you have to pay someone to change bulbs and wiper blades.

But at least it works
 :y

Not really. Given the weather, it was worth every penny.

Had it been in the middle of July, I would have done it myself.
I'd have waited.  ;D
He wouldn't be able to listen to all the wonderful Christmas songs on EVERY station  :-X
