    I should imagine with guidelines concerning photo's of "young people" on the internet as well as the Police being involved the youngsters may also have a slightly tarnished history.
    Its best to just see the coaches etc.

    They may be small in number but their ilk make all our lives just that little bit better.
  • Sainsbury's in Bexleyheath give you the £1.20 for the first hour of parking - providing you make a minimum spend of £7.50.

    Now I'm not in desperate need of that £1.20, but I do get a good feeling when I grab a few things and leave the car park within 15 minutes, because the first 15 minutes are free.  You effectively get a £1.20 discount on your shopping.  OK I know it's juvenile, but it is a win and I don't get many of those  :|

    Someone I know who put $500k into Bitcoin in January, bragged he was a millionaire in May and now sits at $495k after the recent drop.

    Long overdue. Unless you’re an Inuit or live in some far flung jungle miles from civilisation there is absolutely no reason for anyone to wear the fur or skin of a sentient being

    Chocolate hobnobs are the best biscuit by a mile.

    When a much younger than you member of a SMT at a former employer pipes up about contributing toward my early retirement pension and your still sharp enough to reply. “ I didn’t here any complaints when I was contributing towards your mums family allowance now f*** off”

    When you heap crackers, cheese and pickle onto a plate and realise as you near the end of your massive snack that you have the proportions just right and dont need to go back to the kitchen to top up any of the ingredients

    I enjoy this too but it’s occasionally ruined by a busy car park/drivers taking an age to reverse out of spaces, meaning by the time you get to the exit you’ve gone over the 15 minutes and the barrier doesn’t open.

    Is there a limit to the amount of times you can do this? I'd like to imagine there are people doing their monthly shopping driving out the car park with £7.50 worth of stuff, driving round the block and going straight back in for another go, then another, and another...

    Putting new hinges on the huge oven door. It was hanging open about half an inch and taking ages to heat up. A fiddly job but now it snaps shut like Arkwright's till and my cooking burns much quicker. Losing the tips of my fingers is a small price to pay.

    Have had a frustrating / stressful 12-months having naively put up decking that did require planning permission when we were advised by the Gardener who did the work that no planning was required.

    Finally had confirmation back in April from the Council that the permission was required so started that application.

    Just had the case officer round who has basically said that they'll be accepting with the condition that the extra work (that we wanted anyway) would have to be completed within three months - Pleased? - I'm FECKING ECSTATIC!!!!!!

    I once acted as a the planning agent for a local farmer who wanted a new gate on his farm. His farm was next to other farms with gates everywhere.

    The gate got refused because the planning officer determined that it wasn't in character with the area.

    Looks to me as if you're celebrating it 20 years too soon. 90? Really?

    Haha yeh, looks good on it doesn't she.
    Being a near teetotal non-smoker may have helped I guess.

    Stumbling across an unread thread on here that's really interesting. I'm not sure how it happens as I'm here every day, but I was ten pages behind on the Old Charlton Photos thread. I've just had a wonderful half hour looking at the pictures there. Especially like the ones from @Amos on the wing.
