They should. Just don’t do it in rush hour. There are certain times I can’t ‘earn a living’ too. What do learners learn sitting in traffic? I wouldn’t call that getting value for money. Thanks but it doesn’t take too long, it takes around 10/15 minutes.Stig said:
Is the wrong answer. Should driving instructors not be able to earn a living just because you're busy? Should learners have to wait longer between lessons? Don't learners have to be able to learn in rush hour, anyway? If your rush hour commute takes too long, perhaps you should be the one modifying your behaviour and get a job where you can do your travelling at times when its more convenient.JaShea99 said:

Confused by what is sexism!
if I were to suggest housework, ie: vacuuming, polishing furniture and general cleaning duties were my wife’s responsibility, that would be deemed sexism?
But a woman can say to a man, is your wife’s birthday when a man does these things around the house and it’s deemed a joke?
Maybe this should be in the “Getting old” thread1 -

They learn to be patient drivers. If you can't be patient, you shouldn't be behind a wheel.JaShea99 said:

People who keep complaining about traffic congestion / queues / delays.
You are part of the problem, you should be apologising to the person behind you for holding them up !
What is annoying is the amount of “accidents” on the roads...
Definition of an accident is “ something that happens unexpectedly and is not planned in advance” which is by the letter correct, but not too unexpected if tailgating, speeding, driving irresponsibly, not concentrating, tired, etc. I have no data whatsoever but if you are doing any of the above then it shouldn’t be that unexpected and “accidents” would be far less if not doing above.
Anyways got stuck on the M25 for 2 hours on Thursday and had a proper internal moan up and didn’t apologise once to the guy behind.....

It’s not really about patience. I am extremely patient. I just don’t appreciate getting stuck behind one on the way to work or worse, 5pm Friday when I just want to get home and start the weekend. I don’t know what’s so difficult about not learning or working during rush hour Monday to Friday.Stig said:

Maybe that is the only time of the week that the Learner can get trained to drive. I cannot say I have ever thought about it much when behind a learner and what time of day it is but if it does annoy you maybe you haven’t as much patience as you thought?
If they are learning then maybe just accept it for what it is and do not get agitated?1 -

If it's 10-15 mins and your getting aggy about a learner I reckon you need to lighten up.JaShea99 said:

It's not really the point is it, if you pay per hour to learn you wanna practice practical skills to pass your test, you learn how to be a good driver after you've passed. Use the back roadsStig said:

Took my daughter to the Doctor this morning as the rash she had over the weekend had got worse. Turns out she's got shingles. I didn't know kids could get it and the doc said it's probably only a matter of time before we get it too.

Didn't think you could catch shingles from another person, but you could get chicken pox from a shingles sufferer if you haven't had it already.DaveMehmet said:Took my daughter to the Doctor this morning as the rash she had over the weekend had got worse.

You're daughter has my sympathy, can be really painful2 -

Apparently contact with the rash can transmit it.Other than being a bit tired she's fine at the moment. When the doctor told her she'd have to stay off school all week, she looked at me and said "Yay"

Give her her our best wishes, stumbled across this the other day. I’m sure she’ll be chuffed to see it now she’s grown a bit.

Ordering a pizza on line. All they need is the card details and the delivery address.
So it's peanut butter on toast for me then.0 -

I'm guessing it's to do with them getting all the card details and the delivery address. Despite the security measures that have to be in place for a website to take the card details.... Which usually result in a website using an entirely separate portal through an API - often direct to SAGE etc or your own bank.cafcdave123 said:

I was driving in rush hour today and got stuck behind a learner driver. Fortunately they were very good and didn't hold anyone up at all. Pity I can't say the same for the white van man who insisted on parking right opposite some traffic works causing a hold up or the taxi driver who cut me up just before a set of lights, leaving me to wait as they changed to red. It's about time these trades people with poor driving skills were stopped from scheduling business during this important time.4

Cling Film!!!!!!!!
Why does the box it comes in and the serrated edge always collapse and become useless?
Why does it tear unevenly or become entangled around the roll it comes on and become impossible to tear off without it splitting down the F ing middle.
Why does it never stop clinging, especially to things it’s not meant to be clinging tooooooooo,FFS?!!!!!

What happened in the end @ForeverAddickted ?ForeverAddickted said:
Tried to give him a shower there before now yet he hated it and screamed his head off - Certainly think I'll be forced to take your advice with the threatDaveMehmet said:ForeverAddickted said:
Its certainly going to get to that point soonDaveMehmet said:ForeverAddickted said:Was supposed to be having a new Bathroom fitted this week which has turned into a complete nightmare... In total the bloke doing it (a recommendation, not from on here who wont be recommended to anyone else) did a few hours work to remove the Bath and three quarters of the tiles on Tuesday and then did about an hour and a halfs work yesterday to clean up the mess he'd made on Tuesday
Still waiting for him to collect the tiles we've chosen this morning and have had what feels excuse after excuse come up about him having to dash off for one reason or another - Now it could be me being really suspicious and they're genuine reasons for him having to be away but apparently he's got until Tuesday to complete the job as has another one starting on Wednesday yet have absolutely zero faith in this happening
Tell him if he doesn't finish on Tuesday, you'll get someone else to finish it and he whistle for his money.
Expected him working by now (Understand he had to get the tiles) but called him and he's still at home because he's been having to run his Mother in Law around this morning
Have reminded him that my Wife takes our Son for swimming lessons at 12 so if he aint round by then, its going to be another day of just a mess - Is frustrating as been telling him all week that we need the bath installed by today so my boy can have a bath tonight and get the chlorine off him!!The problem is they take on so much work and spread themselves too thin. Wouldn't believe a word about the mother in law, sounds like a typical builder excuse.
Could your son have a shower at the pool?
Cheers too @Carter for thinking what I've already suspected
He's said he's getting his nephew round to help tomorrow so hopefully happens and the two of them get a load done, not very confident though
Did he finish the job or did you get someone else in?

Press those in and the roll becomes stabilised and they become the axis for the roll to revolve on. It's the same for foil btw. Not saying its the end to all your problems SN, but it might help.1 -
