    Chimney sweeps in Broadstairs.I left messages with six of them and not one of them bothered to reply.
    Chim-chimeny, my arse.


    Do you live in Broadstairs now ?
    No, helping out a friend.Like it down there; fantastic fishmongers, good micro-pub and strolls down to Botany Bay...
    Saw Bish the other day and he wondered if you remembered old Rakel slamming a door on your head...
    Presumably, you are saying Mr Rackal the History teacher slammed a door on my head ?

    No I don't remember this, but it would explain a lot :smile:

    I do remember Mr Smith the Maths teacher clouting me round the head really hard though, the bastard.

    I think we may have a new thread here.

    And about the same number of Micropubs. Which one are you referring to Mr Red Skin?

    Maybe the reason none of them got back to you is because they've all got the flue?

    Bit of artistic licence there; it was Broadstairs and its environs; Kent, basically.

    Non indication at roundabouts. Pedestrian crossings, pedestrian presses button no traffic anywhere near, they cross, light goes red about 10 seconds after they've crossed, I sit there for no reason!! grr!

    "No traffic anywhere" and "I sit there for no reason". How does that work ?

    Whichever clown approved 6 weeks worth of roadworks at the busy junction at the bottom of my road.

    Just because the school summer holidays are 6 weeks does not mean they get to spend 6 weeks fannying about with a pipe. If it can't be done in a week or less and it is an extremely busy junction (causing delays of 20 minutes in all directions), make them do it at night. Clowns.

    Problem is people moan like buggery about work that like taking place at night. Councils are the root cause of this problem

    Actually tbf that's a fair point, I can't hear it from my house but bet the people at that end can. Still, the council gave them 6 weeks to do the job purely because that's how long the school holidays are. Everytime I walk/drive past there seem to only be two people there drinking tea and eating biscuits. Think if they picked up their hammer every now and then they could have done it in a week. Taking the piss.

    I guess he can see the crossing from a couple of hundred yards away, and can see there is no traffic other than himself on the road, giving said pedestrian ample time to cross without pushing the button. By the time he reaches the crossing, the light has now turned red, the pedestrian has cleared the crossing and is opening the door to the pub, there are no other pedestrians crossing, so he has to wait at the red light for no reason, Peter?

    Maybe the reason none of them got back to you is because they've all got the flue?

    That's no excuse for all of them to give him the brush off!

    After 3 hrs delay, you're entitled to compensation, we take off after 2 hrs 57 mins, fookers.

    Boots employees and customers.

    Employees - if you're not in the pharmacy, stop dressing like nurses or doctors, people might get you confused for someone who has had any medical training

    Customers - Boots employees are not GPs, stop wasting their and my time with ridiculous medical queries regarding sun cream
