 Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Park under a tree for one evening, ONE evening and this is what I am greeted by the next morning! Had to chisel it off with an old plastic card and then soak it off with hot water and fairy liquid. By which point may as well do the whole thing, which then of course triggerd the rain! |

I didn't think you got charged final fee on postage that's why some charge £1 for item and £5 postage (when really item should be £5 and post a £1 ) because it kept the fees down paypal charge on total amount paid into your account UPDATE JUST LOOKED ON EBAY LOOKS LIKE THEY DO CHARGE ON POSTAGE COST NOW , sure they never used to... GREED!!!!! I stopped selling on ebay as they were getting too greedy a while back now |

Mobile phone use on the road, ona dual carriageway, cuts me up then slams the brakes on whilst I'm towing.

It's the total replacement of the word 'yes' with 'absolutely' that pees me off.

I've spent years beating Americanisms out of my children (international school) and paying for German lessons, only to find that my oldest, who works in a professional German environment, now speaks "Neudeutsch" ("new German") which makes her sound like an uneducated idiot
Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing... |

^^ Look at it from the bright side, it could have been worse.............. the Schweizerdeutsch in the North here
 You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

There are educated idiots too. The daughter next door to me went to a private school and has just finished university. Hearing her talking (loudly!) to her friends, it's obvious she is an idiot of extraordinary magnitude. She talks of the normal brainless stuff girls do, but EVERYTHING is said with a rising inflection at the end of her sentences - like 'band camp' in American Pie. I can't see her ever getting a job unless she doesn't have to open her mouth. Now left.
