Eh,?? Come again?
Eh,?? Come again?I can't have been the only one expecting a punchline at the end of this story?
Sat in a well known opticians whose name begins with "S" yesterday waiting to be seen.A older gentleman pulled up outside on a mobiilty scooter He struggled to make his way to the counter on getting there he asked for olive oil for ears.Got out his money to pay only to be told he needed a card.Out he went without said olive oil. I do hope he managed to purchase it at the shop next door where he would have got it cheaper and they do take cash.Comes to something when cash of the realm cannot buy what you want.
Any shop that doesn’t take either cash or card in this day and age deserves to lose customers, just take both that way everyone is happy
This is the thing. How many people are trying to pay cash in Specsavers. Do you really want all the hassle of training staff in how to do the daily banking, and having someone have to actually do it, when you probably go days or even weeks without anyone paying in cash.Agreed, but at the same time who doesn't have a card nowadays? They are so easy to get.
We have fallen so far since the days when anyone with a Saturday job in the market was expected to take cash, get the change right and all in £sd.This is the thing.

Yep hate this. there’s a notoriously tight street near me yet everyone in their big Suv’s they can’t drive feels the need to go down themPeople who drive and struggle to keep on their side of the road
Bit of a generalisation but usually women with oversized cars that they can’t properly control
Cutting corners too tight when turning right almost taking the front end off any car approaching the junction
Cyclists with the same behaviour putting themselves at risk
I live near two schools. The number of parents (majority BMW, Audi, SUV drivers) who are all over the road and having near misses is astonishing. The speed they drive up my road, which is a 20 limit, is insane. You'd think people on the school run would give a shit about safe driving.People who drive and struggle to keep on their side of the road

Omg this sends me to the fucking moon and seems to have become 1000x worse over the last few years, I now approach T junctions really gingerly because of the amount of times someone has turned right from the main road at 50mph and cut across my laneCutting corners too tight when turning right almost taking the front end off any car approaching the junction
hate it. just charge them more road tax for driving one.all SUVs, pseudo 4x4s, whatever tf they're called.
"I've got a kid(s) so I need one!"
WHY!
small boot, harder for kids to get in and out of, more likely to kill a kid if you hit them. It's just an avg. size saloon with big wheels. F*ck off. Get in the f*cking sea.
They're planning new homes near me (well its been going on for years and there's no sign of breaking ground anytime soon) and all I hear is about the impact on the traffic.Drivers whining about traffic.
You are the traffic.
never ignore the red flagshe's a Leicester fan
Blood sucker's, how can charges like this exist under our timid law's.Ryanair (on behalf of my daughter).
She's due to fly to Tallinn on Boxing Day with her (ahem) boyfriend - but she just found out he's shit on her with another woman. Tried to change his name on the booking so her sister can go instead, and they want 150 nicker 'admin' fee. Wankers.
Also, her ex boyfriend, who, even though he's a Leicester fan, I though was decent, but also turns out to be an unreconstructed wanker.
Wankers, all.
Another week when we are 5 points clearSaturday afternoons with miserable weather outside and no football !
That's just ridiculous. If they charged £25, they would still be making money. How much effort and time does it take to erase a name and insert another on a computer screen ? Presumably no postage involved ?Ryanair (on behalf of my daughter).

Would there be any other areas for them to consider like passport control etc, personally I don't see it but I bet that's what they'd argue? duplication of certain aspects,very time consuming I'm sure?That's just ridiculous.

Annoying definitely but low cost airlines made their money this way with any changes you request. Their pricing structure is such that on a good day you can get return flights to Europe for £30 and 2 days later they can be £200. I suspect their charges for changes are high partly to stop mass purchase at lowest cost only for them to be sold at the inflated cost a week or 2 later. I booked TUI last year to fly from Gatwick to Gambia for £1100 each after being told the plane from Manchester had sold out. 2 weeks later more seats were released on the Manchester flight, I requested a change only to be told I'd lose 85% of monies paid on Gatwick flight. Their all as bad as one another.Ryanair (on behalf of my daughter).

Or separate cycle routes and they use the roads instead!Councils spending loads of money on cycle lanes and cyclist riding on the footpaths instead.
Cycle lanes with no cyclists.Or separate cycle routes and they use the roads instead!
When I lived in Portsmouth they narrowed the roads to put in cycle lanes.Councils spending loads of money on cycle lanes and cyclist riding on the footpaths instead.
The best part of that being that NFU Mutual have now moved all operations from Ryon Hill to Tiddington - the gates are chained shut! Utter waste of time and money.On the Warwick road from Stratford up to the office park at Ryan hill they have built a double cycle path - closed the road for god knows how long BUT they did improve the visibility on the Snitterfield exit (so not all bad ) however they narrowed the road and I have never seen anyone on it - we pay one of the highest council taxes in UK and they just waste our money on a tick box operation
Waste of money although of course the smart money is on building houses thereThe best part of that being that NFU Mutual have now moved all operations from Ryon Hill to Tiddington - the gates are chained shut! Utter waste of time and money.
I don't know, possibly depends how you think of things,,Is it being prepared for a future where the bicycle rules?On the Warwick road from Stratford up to the office park at Ryan hill they have built a double cycle path - closed the road for god knows how long BUT they did improve the visibility on the Snitterfield exit (so not all bad ) however they narrowed the road and I have never seen anyone on it - we pay one of the highest council taxes in UK and they just waste our money on a tick box operation
