    That is the first time in 8 years I have been to the P.O. and there hasn't been a queue out of the door!
    The manageress was sitting out having a smoke so the guy that served me was polite and chatty.I don't think they are allowed to be when she is around - certainly not to me, anyway...:p He even talked me into buying some prepaid envelopes which will save me 90 cents per card to the U.K.:)

    I posted off my stern letter to the British taxman.They informed me that THEY had made a mistake with my tax in 2010 and demanded 155 pounds.I argued it with them for several months and we eventually agreed to split the difference.They told me to wait for a letter of confirmation, which I did.It was dated last December and said I had 3 months to pay it.I paid it a month later and now they want to fine me 100 pounds for a "late payment".WTF!!!:mad:

    Think yourself lucky, Honey, our Binmen and recycle folk come between 4am and 5.30am.:eek:
    There are 8 communal bins at the end of the lane and they are emptied daily so we are never free of them.
    Like all cheery folk, as well as the making as much clatter as possible with the bins, they like to whistle and sing as they work.They also enjoy revving their engines and shouting to each other above the noise....

    Morning everyone. :)

    I would still be asleep if it wasn't for of a herd of wildebeest crashing through the house and waking me up.
    I didn't see them but I definitely heard them.

    At least today isn't "glass bottle collection day." which goes on for hours.
    Some moron with a baseball cap and shiny badge sifts through every box in the hope of finding an un-rinsed jar or a wayward plastic cap, and when he does he hammers loudly at the doors even if they have bells and hands the jars back and waits for them to be rinsed.
    Someone will punch him soon and I hope I am there to see it.
    Elfy said he was tempted to wee in the boxes.
    Clunk clunk clunk, all morning. Or afternoon. It isnt even a regular time so the street can evacuate.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    We used to have the wilderbeest here on a regular basis, but these days not quite as often - they've clearly re-located:D

    They guy with the shiny badge would only ask me once to re-rinse - I give them all a quick swish at the moment and they go into the designated box. OH frequently leaves plastic lids on which annoys me - but he only has me to deal with and I sadly, have no badge.

    Who the **** is Andre Rieu ? and why is he on Sky Arts on a loop for ever and ever ?....beyond horrible :mad:......apart from that everythings fine ( ish ) I suppose :p........morning. :)....( smiley squad got me .....I dont know if theyve got shiny badges or not )

    :D Rieu seems very popular in some quarters - apparently he tours constantly and his dvds sell like hot cakes - I don't get it either!

    Oh no - more members of the shiny badge brigade -' once it's in the computer there's nothing they can do' even if it's clear that you can't possibly owe 3 million in unrecovered back taxes:rolleyes:

    Morning guys - we seem to have had rain overnight which was good - how the ground could be so dry after all the snow is a mystery to me, but it was!

    GOOD GRIEF!!!! I don't believe it! I wonder what his salary is, and why someone hasn't punched his lights out yet...

    Isn't it interesting how infuriating it is when people leave plastic lids on recycled bottles etc? Almost on a par with leaving the toilet seat up, and not putting the top on the toothpaste tube..

    Is there anything more annoying than Holly Wallaby interfering with the chefs on this morning? Poking. Slurping. Correcting them, making fun of them and giggling like a hyena on tequila.
    I wish they would tie her up and gag her.
