Could be more than a day if the head's warped and needs skimming. As you say, not a quick fix.

I always used the indicators on my BMWs. It's a courtesy to let people know what you've just done...

Openreach own and maintain the BT lines, Sky use BT lines. They can call it what they want, it'll be an openreach (Kelly communications) engineer
Yep, spot on. Had a text from Sky to say an Openreach engineer will visit tomorrow.

Why have 2 lines of tyre called Z2 and 22? Not too hard to see the difference when the characters are printed but when jotted down on a scrap of paper, it's a bit harder! Doesn't help that the script/font used on the carcass itself is a bit ambiguous! Luckily the supplier was aware that the 22 series is for mopeds but the Z2 is for bigger bikes so when the flunky ordered a 22 in the size I need, the supplier put him right so the correct type has been ordered.

The idea of a "Bag for life" was that you took the knackered one back to Tesco ( or where ever) they gave you a new one,
and recycled the old one. It now seems, talking to the manager, that there is a new government directive, and that has stopped this.
So, I am perfectly at liberty to throw the old one in the bin.
(And buy a new one for 10p)
More plastic waste, well played HMG, well played

TBH I'd not heard of it either, and it was only a couple of weeks ago, that one of the "girls" replaced another failing bag, for free.
I'm beginning to wonder if it was the mangers idea to get me to spend another 10p
I would email Tesco head office & explain what happened & ask them to point you to where the Government directive is documented.....TBH I'd not heard of it either, and it was only a couple of weeks ago, that one of the "girls" replaced another failing bag, for free.

Why do they call these people "engineers"?Yep, spot on. Had a text from Sky to say an Openreach engineer will visit tomorrow.
They are technicians. The engineer is the person who designed the router.

Thats actually a very good point, I still have the CEO's email address on file, following another "issue" I had with them

Probably the same reason they call Piers Morgan a journalist, and Donald Trump a politician.

I don't get it either, I always go for the free delivery, and it always arrives within the time of the "Paid" service.

Yep, more often than not, this happens with me. Even if they don't arrive until Friday, can't see any situation where I'd need plastic baskets so urgently I'd pay £10 for delivery!
Yip. I always choose free delivery too, if it's available, and then forget about it until the order arrives. Most of the time, I'd be quite happy if they deliver within a couple of weeks.

On the (thankfully VERY!) rare occasions when I've needed a plastic basket (it has happened!) quickly, I've gone to either Wilko or Ikea. Otherwise I'm happy to wait for Amazon or similar to get their act together. For free!

How weird is this?
I got the rubbish bags ready for tomorrows collection, last night.
Like a good boy scout I tied the bag tops off.
Then found I had a crust of bread to dispose of, I left it in its bag, and slid it down the side of the main rubbish bag, with the tied off top.
I came home today, the bread bag was blowing around the garden, and the crust of bread was in the bird bath, about 30 feet away!
Obviously something thought that it needed softening up a bit !
Oh well, I put it on the path and the sparrows made short work of it.

I'm the kind of person that's sad enough to sit through and delete any channels that aren't free, adult related, or those pesky shopping channels. I do it every time they update the channels too. Then again, I can't remember the last time I specifically sat down to watch a TV programme on Freeview. It's all Netflix, Amazon Prime, Now TV etc

but didn't accelerate, moved back in,for no reason moved out again and back in, until we approached some traffic lights that had just change to amber so no slowing down, moved out again, same thing, didn't accelerate then moved then moved back in again
Never really caught up with the rest of the traffic

Why Shepton Mallet has a tourist information centre when it has almost nothing to do....
Went on a ghost hunt at the prison last night, and as we tend to do we arrived a few hours early to take a look around and find dinner. Ended up buying magazines in Tesco and going back to the car for over an hour.....the Italian restaurant was good through.

What are they teaching learners these days? ...
A local road, with a turning to my right and a car parked opposite the turning! ( yes he shouldn't have been there full stop!)
I'm overtaking the park car, which obviously puts me on the wrong side of the road, just an official learner car approaches the junction on my right, he looks right,
and pulls out. We stop, nose to nose! Does no one look the way they are going anymore?
As he couldn't go anywhere, ( well except back that is) I did feel it was my civic duty to explain the error of his ( the instructors) ways!

I thought the same thing, then realised it tastes exactly the same as the penicillin syrup I used to have for tonsillitis as a kid.
