Wait till read TB's new 'Fair Use policy' on OOF Posting, that should cheer you up.

Has he banned using the word 'you' between 'till' and 'read'?  ;D

Today I sorted some mechanical work for the foreseeable future, starting tomorrow then when I got home and opened my post I'm due an £800 tax rebate.

That certainly cheered me up :-*

Reckon we had a bailiff down my road this morning, ironic as I watched an episode on Sky+ last night. Woke one of my neighbours at about 7.45.

If it must be on TV the program should be called 'Wont Can't pay? We'll take it away', ok, there are people out there that do just take the piss when comes to paying there bills and think they can milk the system, thats fair enough, but when your lucks down and your really struggling with it all, the last thing your stress levels need is a couple of Heavy Bodies breathing down your neck about to make your life and your finances more impossible.

Dont really get much enjoyment watching programs like this if Im honest and dont think a lot of people dont understand the stress and hardship thats involved until it happens to them or someone close them.

They didn't try very hard to get back  £45000 from the fella who sells (and probably wears) girls frocks.

Reckon we had a bailiff down my road this morning, ironic as I watched an episode on Sky+ last night. Woke one of my neighbours at about 7.45.

Few years ago I had a knock on the door, and there were two heavies.

To cut a long story short, an African woman bought a Merc on finance and put my Mrs down as Guarantor. The Mrs is a director of my company and by law this must be public information, so not hard to find full name, date of birth, and home address. The African "lady" did of course default on payments soon after taking the loan, and did a runner.

It all wasn't a huge problem, the "Heavies" were ok, and pretty soon realized what had happened. No Merc in the drive, just an old Volvo and an Old Omega! However I still object strongly to laws that permit so much personal information to be freelly available on the internet to absolutely anyone, but I do understand why. There just needs to be a better solution.

The only genuine people on the show last night were the pensioners at the end. The bailiffs realised their situation and walked away. The rest were people who had no intention of meeting their obligations and, yes, I do enjoy watching them getting their comeuppance.
If you were/had been a small businessman who had fallen prey to these arrogant bastids, you'd enjoy it too.
