I've never had any issues with my local tips. Just chat to the blokes there and all will be well.

I often went in with a trailer full of tree cuttings (domestic waste.... honest m'lud Wink) with my 90 (indisputably a commercial vehicle) and they never batted an eyelid, despite it being against the official "rules" I suspect.

Lazy Censored ers who can't be bothered to clear snow off their parking place and just park in the road where the plough has been (and now can't clear any more) and directly behind your driveway.

Then, when you have to do a 20-point turn to escape, try to "wave you out" (to protect their precious Neipan Twinky) AND expect you to thank them for it - Censored selfish stupid Censored ers Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing...

Mind you, it was worse for the wife... yesterday my son sat in the front seat with wet trousers (he'd broken his nose playing Rugby Rolling Eyes) which had soaked it and frozen solid overnight (minus 14). So taking her to work this morning, Wifey had to decide whether to sit on ice for 10 minutes or turn the seat heating on and get wet Rolling with laughter

Quite funny for me when I realised but not so much for her Whistle Tell someone you love them today because life is short.

Neighbours don't you just love them? Whistle

Our neighbours complained we parked on OUR drive. Now if we did not park on our drive they would have less room to park on the road Banging Head Banging Head Banging Head

One has done a disappearing act and abandoned their cat. No food, no shelter no care or concern for it. Cat was NASTY!

It is improving, putting weight on, now that Barbara has taken it in.

Isn't that a criminal offence in the UK? Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
