At the bottom of the online page It said there will be a charge if the smart meter is found to be working!!! I though ey up! I'll take a video of me showing the touch screen switched on but not working.


It's on my mobile phone.



Just looked at the smart meter & there is a message on it saying, We've put a charge on your account for the replacement meter


I'll set the rottweiler on them when she's had her porridge and bananas , They're history if they insist on this charge.

Well it was worth putting the missus onto them regards the charge for the FREE smart meter replacement, they've removed the £39.99 charge from our electricity account.

Blindly crossing over the cheverons and onto the oncoming traffic on the wrong side of the road, those vehicles also having to take avoiding action.

I have reported it and sent the dashcam evidence as well to the Police. Not something I would ever do for a genuine mistake where no one was hurt, that was no mistake though. The driver needs at the least someone to have a word in their ear about the manner of their driving
You did the right thing, hopefully the driver will get a warning so that he changes his ways and lives are saved.

Hi Jeff, I take medication to reduce the pressure on the aneurysms. I am part of a monitoring program, hence the scans and vascular appointments. When I was first diagnosed, I was told they could shrink and for a number of years the AAA stayed at around 3.1, but last year I was told to expect it to grow. The surgeons both NHS and private refuse to operate before the aneurysms get to 5.5 cm. The operation involves carrying out a repair using a custom made artificial graft. Some patients die within 30 days of having the graft put in.

I had a second opinion at the Christian Barnard Memorial Hospital in Cape Town and saw a heart transplant surgeon. He showed me the graft they use and said the same things, how none of them will operate unless they have to or it’s in an emergency. He said to avoid high contact sports, no smoking, no excessive drinking, no violent sex and don’t let the woman jump up and down on you.

With aneurysms, there is no pain and most people don’t know they have one. It is known as the ‘silent killer’. It is quite easy to diagnose through a painless abdominal ultrasound scan. I recommend that all men and women over the age of 60 get a U/S scan done, it could save a life

Morning all,

A bit grey out there at the moment, no rain in the forecast but not much sun either

Looks like much the same for the weekend at Snetterton for the BTCC. At least I won't get sunburnt or wet

Morning all.

Bright and sunny but with high cloud this morning.

Redfive attended her last meet, with me at the helm, last night. She's off to pastures new over the weekend.

Morning chaps and chapesses.
Are you sure about blue sky and sunshine Ian? - that doesn't sound like your part of the country. Perhaps you've upped sticks during the night and moved to a different climate without realising
I think I've got your usual weather here - low grey cloud/mist and consistent drizzle - not too warm either.

To try and cheer myself up, I've just booked another few days in the caravan - 11 nights from the 2nd September at Watermillock near Ullswater in the Lake District. This is the site - it'll either be a glorious Indian Summer or a total washout - no half measures.
I hope the fact that Watermillock rhymes with pillock isn't of any significance
