The fencers who came yesterday morning and took down my side gate and 6ft panel down the side of my house which was knackered. Then the delivery of the new stuff was late so he said he'd go and have look at another job and come back and finish after lunch.

The new stuff came, and then the fencer phoned and said he'd now be coming back in the morning at 7.30am. It was absolutely lashing down at 7.30am and he didn't come which wasn't surprising, but haven't seen him yet and he's not answering my calls FFS. 

British builders, backbone of the country.

How to become a builder?

F*uck about at school and leave with no qualifications. Then buy a knackered flatbed and you suddenly become an expert in roofing, guttering, tree cutting, drains, fencing, driveway cleaning and laying.

I think you're confusing builders with happygolikeys

Presumably if they want paying, they'll turn up.

Effing freezer packed up overnight - contents ruined.

Ours is covered on the home insurance, but with an excess of £250 I'd have to have an awful lot of food in there to make it pay

£500 excess, so no chance of a claim.

Unless it's full of Wagu steaks. 

I would like to try one to see if it is worth the hype, and the money.

I think Lidl have them form time to time.

Dad's in jail for racist tweets......

That will never happen in GB.

We keep a few grand in ISAs as an emergency fund instant access if we need it,  the rest is all in premium bonds had them since 2021 and no word of a lie we've won a few quid every month since we've had them,  don't know anything about stocks & shares and certainly at this stage in our lives don't see the point.

You don't need to know anything about stocks and shares, Mick. You just hand over your dosh to a fund manager and they invest it for you, according to chosen risk level. Then they take a cut every year now matter how the fund performs.

That would mean putting trust in somebody with our cash , what could possibly go wrong ?

That's what we thought about 30 yrs ago ..... the name of the advisor should have been a clue .... he was called Grantham Fidler!

Grantham? Was he from Lincolnsausageshire? Could have been a young Opti, always wondered about him.

Nah.....thirty years ago I was only 7.

That might be the Christmas number one!

This has a catchy tune.

So it seems that Rach from Complaints might be on a sticky wicket, as it appears that she told a few porkies about the state of the nations finances to justify her tax and spend budget. 

Let's see if the media go into hysteria mode to get her to resign, like they would if a Tory Chancellor lied to Parliament and the country? 

I never did believe she had a black hole....especially a large one.
