A good ride out on the Diamondback, light responsive nice ride, a few more miles on the clock now before the rains came Only used about 3 or 4 of the 24 gears so looking at changing the front triple crankset for a single, got a nice lightweight one with a 36 tooth chainring so will give that a go Rog

I was always told if you want to pi$$ off your neighbours get a goat, right stinky little sods they are, the goats not the neighbours Rog

Don't worry about it me duck, good old Notts humour thats all, don't be offended and your input is always welcome after all your opinion is just another side of the same coin Rog

Saw this little fella the other week when I was out walking, it was mid afternoon and quite a warm day, he/she was just scratching about in the undergrowth, she/he must have been all of three inches nose to tail, good luck little "Hoglet" Sorry about the photo quality Rog

On a more light-hearted note (if that is possible) You just have to smile at John Cleese don't you Rog

I think I'll leave it there before I have my post removed Rog

Front of office staff should always be smart and presentable, I agree with you there Phil, would you go to a dietician who was grossly over weight? or a dermatologist who was covered in inks ? I think not Rog

Tongue in cheek comes to mind here Rog

Did she have "tick boxes" tattooed on her arms? Rog

Or in the case of an old Notts lad, House being pronounced as ar$e, as in to cummin rahnd to our ar$e Rog

nob being the operative word Rog

Don't think it got that far Barrie but people in that type of work do need to be helpful and caring not abrupt and arrogant (although I didn't say that to the pharmacy manager), I was grateful that my complaint/experience was acknowledged and time taken to contact me, I don't bare a grudge or expect a grovelling apology just my email was read Rog

A phone call this afternoon from the manager of the pharmacy at the local surgery apologising for what happened on Monday re: assistant attitude, I explained about not having my reading glasses with me and it was unrealistic of the assistant to tell me to go home, fill out the form and taking it back to the pharmacy and the manager agreed it could have been handled better and with more care, anyway we parted company friends so no hardship or damage done, just thought I would let you know the outcome, it's one thing to have negative complaints or a good moan on these pages but it is also nice t

And people who try to put it on and make out they're posh/upper class/better than us ragamuffins, I'm owd school Nottingham and proud of it and certainly don't try to be sommat I'm not Rog

Sign ot the times I'm afraid Mary, no one (or very few) are customer focussed anymore you just get the impression you are in the way, keep at them and don't get fobbed off, remember you and countless others pay their wages so in effect they are your employees, for the time you are dealing with them anyway Rog

They seek him here, they seek him there, they seek the blighter everywhere, but if you do manage to catch up with him he's a great fella Rog

And here he is (sort of) complete with said menu Rog

Telly will be replaced tomorrow Rog

Doing a bit of work in the shed this morning and switched on the telly and DVD to listen to a bit of music while I work, oh no, the sound has packed up on me telly so can't listen to music, a quick trawl on facebook market place and I managed to get another telly for twenty quid so tomorrows job will be to clean it down and set it up to run "Freeview", DVD/CD and VHS, Can't do any work in the shed without music Rog

I have no complaints about our surgery, receptionist or even the attached pharmacy who to be fair are excellent and caring, I am complaining about this one pharmacy assistant who's customer service/focus is very poor and her attitude just as bad, after I told her I couldn't fill out the repeat prescription form because I didn't have my reading glasses with me she just told me to take it home, fill out the form there and bring it back to the pharmacy when in reality she could have just ticked the boxes on the form herself in less than half a minute Rog

When everyone is ticking their own prescription boxes and collecting the prescription from a super market we won't need the jobs worths behind the counter at the doctors own pharmacy, same as self service supermarket checkouts and very soon self ordering of tickets at the train stations, all those people will be out of a job so the arrogance of the pharmacy worker won't get her very far will it?, sorry for having a right moan about this but the non existent customer service with arrogant people really upsets me, they don't even say please and thankyou anymore, Rog

Just back from the pharmacy which is in our doctors surgery to pick up mine and Mrs P's repeat prescriptions and the girl at the counter got the prescription then asked me to tick which ones I want next month on the prescription paperwork, I said we will need all the items again as it's a repeat prescription, she again told me to tick the boxes for what I will need, after a bit of tooing and frowing (sp) I gave her the paperwork back because I couldn't see the tick boxes because I didn't have my glasses with me, she abruptly told me to take them home and tick the boxes there then bring them ba

Our surgery has it's own pharmacy where we get the prescriptions, for the past ten/eleven years I have been getting text messages from them letting me know that this months prescription is now ready to be picked up, the pharmacy re-order for me every month no problem but a couple of months ago when I went to pick up said prescription I was told I now have to order my own and tick off the items I want on the prescription paper, I said "but you always order them for me and you have for the past 10/11 years" only to be told "well you have to do it now", "it's a repeat prescription so whats the pr

I’m surprised that you can’t get your ears syringed for free at the GP surgery. Our surgery don't syringe ears either, not done for about ten years now, in fact there is very little done at the surgery now just the odd blood sample and blood pressure checks, very rare you get to see a doctor, only phone calls from them, last time I had a phone call from the doc and he asked me what the problem was I said "can you see this rash on my arm" to which he replied "send me a picture of it via email", I put the phone down and didn't bother him again, I can't understand why all of a sudden you can

Certainly didn't see him when they were driving or else they wouldn't have knocked him off his bike lol Rog
