Got my first ever parking ticket today £50, chuff off cos I was at a wedding show and was parked where all the exhibitors were told to park. Wasn't told I needed a pass though, Will be sending ticket and pass that I was given after the show to the parking office and no money.

Jackie,.if it was a private parking company you dont have to pay the fine, just ignore it.
If it was police or traffic warden then pay it.
There have been a few grapes been done by private firms and just ignored the tickets.and letters when they come.

All I have to do i send the ticket and the pass to them don't have to pay, its a council carpark and we had been given permission to park, big sign on a barrier saying exhibitors only should have been a clue.

People who use St George's Day as an excuse to peddle lies and racial hatred, and the idiots on my FB who 'share' it without question.

Once and for-all - nobody was jailed for painting a poppy on a mosque - they were jailed for throwing bricks through the windows of a an Asian-owned shop and his home, for inciting others to join in, and then painting a poppy on a mosque. They also had previous convictions. It took me all of 5 minutes on Google to find that out. The fact that this story changes towns every time it's shared might be some kind of clue to its status as absolute bullsh!t!!

Furthermore - nobody is being prevented from saying they're English, no-one is prevented from flying a Union Jack (right now, 3 doors down from me, some twonk has erected a flag-pole in the garden of his ex-council-house and is flying a UJ), Shakespeare is taught in schools; my son did Romeo and Juliet for his GCSE English, and my daughter is doing A Midsummer Night's Dream in Drama. English/British history is also taught, who else's frikkin' history would they be learning?!

So, please stop sharing this absolute rubbish unquestioningly, all it does is make 'you' look like an idiot.

There's an answer for that Sarz - remove from friends! I used to get a little of that but one fine day, we were invited by them to remove ourselves if we didn't like it so I did. So did some others IIRC. Happy days.

Mr rant. Already been done. It's Mirror Signal Mirror Manoeuvre - not Manoeuvre - Mirror - Signal - Apologise. Muppets.

I wish it was just one person Zaz And most of them are OUers, who are supposedly learning critical thinking Apparently you're only supposed to apply that to novels that you have an essay question on, not real life...

Rain, rain, and, erm, well, rain. Oh, and sooooooo many 'likes' for my eBay Pillock confession!

[Glutton4...]

Oh, and people who don't sweep up after the farrier - you gonna pay for my puncture repair?

Being asked to look after someone's plot while they're away, trekking all the way down there to cover up his spuds because a frost is forecast, only to discover that someone's done it already What's the point in asking me to do it if someone else is doing it?!

Ruddy men. Why when the loo is blocked for more than 24 hours don't you bladdy well do something about it, Its not my fault, you were the only one home all day yesterday. Good job we have two loo's. lets see how many day's its blocked before you do something about it.

Flaming rain, yes I know we need it, yes it is good for the garden and yes, I do know April showers are supposed to happen BUT we need customers. For some reason they won't do gardening, or shopping when it is bucketing down

I just came for a nosey really, other than needing a wee and can't be bothered with the stairs, life's good.

Actually, I do!!! Why would someone that can't walk far, can no longer drive, is paranoid of taxis and buses in case their Parkinson's will make them throw their fare all over the place, not be entitled to a Blue badge or high rate mobility, instead have their Income Support stopped????

[Seahorse]

Being told I'm a homophobe because I don't think there's any evidence Jesus was gay. I've given up arguing, it was all too surreal!
