Actually yeahCan you imagine?
Excellent choiceA farmer somewhere in Eastern Europe had a similar problem with people parking in his field while they visited a market. He ploughed across the entrance to the field.
That's what sprang to mind when I suggested you do the same.......Actually yeah
Did you seen the news item a few days ago?
I know its the sun, but there are other sources
.Farmer covers Mercedes in SLURRY after driver illegally parked on his land ‘to go to the beach’
THIS is the the moment a farmer covers a Mercedes Benz with slurry after the driver illegally parked on his land “to go to the beach” and enjoy the Bank Holiday sunshine. In the video, …www.thesun.co.uk
We have all kinds of places that things can be put out of sight but I came home one evening last year to find the dustbin right in front of the front door, behind it was a small package. I mean, we always keep the dustbin right in front of the front door so its obviously not hiding something
FFS! to bothAnd another, I switched broadband supplier a few years ago, the new router came in a carboard box that said in big letters "fits through a standard letter box", the plonker left it round the back in the rain
We had a card through the door from a Hermes driver last week. Nothing what so ever written on it - just the blue card with Hermes name at the top and a number of white boxes for the driver to not write in. Very useful! Our neighbour delivered the parcel a few hours later.I know what you mean, they seem to have given up on cards altogether, just abandon the parcel somewhere and send you a text saying it has been delivered so you get to play hunt the parcel.
FFS! to both
I had a near miss some years ago, We have green wheelie bins for garden waste. It used to be kept out front, but to the side of the house.
(its been in the garage with everything else for years now )
On this particular green waste collection day, I wheeled the bid to the side of the road.
I don't normally look in there as I know its full of grass and food waste.
This time I lifted the lid for some reason, and there was a parcel!
No idea how long it had been there, no more than a few days as I'd fill the bin that week end.
There had been no notification, posted through the door, and this was in the days before "Parcel tracking"
Lucky or what?
FFSI had a parcel delivered by Hermes once, put it in the cardboard bin the day before said bin day on the bottom of my front garden, I wasnt back in the house till bin day afternoon...
Goodbye Parcel
FFS
I don't think I've ever lost one But I did gain one, delivered by Hermes not so long back.
A very long sad train of emails trying to get it picked up ( Abridged version)
( the house number was correct, the post code was about a mile away.)
Every reply was signed by a different person, from will pick it up, to sorry we can't find your parcel and you have to contact your sender
Eventually I dropped it off with a note explaining why it was 10 days late
ooops!We had a customer who always used to ask us the courier to leave their parcel in the green bin, and then got upset the driver didn’t know it was bin day in her village....and followed the instruction...
What I considered to be the worse delivery fail was by parcel force.
I was tracking a large item a few years back, the next up date was "no one at home"
At the time posted I was working in the front garden and had been for the past hour.
No card nothing!
This was around 5pm, the parcel force depot was 8 miles away, so I jumped in the car and shot up there, with ID proof, driving licence
passport and print out of the tracking screen.
I demanded ( politely I always start politely ) to see the duty manager, as I wanted to make a formal compliant.
It seems the guy concerned was going on holiday that evening and had clocked off early!!
And would be spoken to on his return.
... I doubt it either...
At least they found my parcel in the back of his van, and handed it over, I wonder how many more were in there?
I've had quite a few of those in the past, to be fair the majority of the times I've not been at home,She went to find the 'sorry no-one was at home' card. She caught up with postie and got her parcel. I really don't see the point of it.
That's serious indeed !There was a sticker on it..signed with an unreadable squiggle where my signature should have been...... A serious allegation and his main concern was how I got their phone number.
I see that driving schools are back to operating, that is the second official driving school car doing doing a 3 point turn in my road today already.
(And before the pedants start yes I know its turn around in the road, using forward and reverse gears [emoji14] )

Do you feel better now John?Whilst I’m moaning ...
I too find it curious that the letter "H" is dropped when describing the letter "H"..what about the letter H. ? ‘Haitch’ instead of a Aitch
Does it depend how much alcohol is on board?Mind you, you northerners pronounce a lot of words wrong too. How can a bus be called a booz?

Its a Parth, Glarce & BarthVery true, but then quite a few southerners pronounce words wrongly even when sober, for example - path, glass, bath.
Do you feel better now John?
:
Yes..lol..I love a good moan and it’s good to have somewhere to moan..like on here.

Americans annoy me when they put they H in front of a W if they say 'what' or 'when'.
Come to mention it, they say 'wok' instead of 'walk', 'sodder' instead of 'solder' and pronounce all manner of other words wrong as well.
Trying to hear that...the Americans’ H infront of ‘what’ or ‘when’. Have you heard Barry Gardner saying a word with wh..when,which, Difficult to write how he says those words ..the sound you get blowing out a candle..best I can do..He was born in Glasgow but no Scottish accent.

I don't know if you ever listen to Chris Evans breakfast show latterly on Virgin?BUT..the worst for me is Northen Ireland.

Aargh! Stone him, he's in league with the Devil!
