Stuart.C 491 Posted April 18, 2021 Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 My reply to Amazon would have been, you show me your licence and I'll show you mine. As it appears some of the Amazon drivers who work for contractors to Amazon do not have licences, tax, insurance and or Mot's. And as they aren't directly employed or contracted to Amazon, Amazon aren't bothered. Here's on example, https://www.deadlinenews.co.uk/2021/03/25/1159924amazon-crime-cops-pull-over-amazon-driver-who-had-no-licence-crime-news-uk/ In another incident the driver had to empty the van out onto the pavement when it was siezed and call for someone to pick it up.

nonnaB 4,895 Posted April 18, 2021 Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 Brew make sure you havent been charged for it. Im expecting a package from amazon too. It should have been delivered a few days ago but updated tells me its going to arrive between 16-20 april. If it doesnt i can ask for a refund. Hope it comes as its taken me ages to find exactly what I want. A small piece of furniture that is sturdy and has space like shelves and drawers for the kitchen to replace what is there already. Ive looked in furniture shops, Ikea, supermarkets with no luck and this was exactly what I wanted but its being sent from Germany so maybe its been pinched. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,413 Posted April 18, 2021 Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 It was delivered the next day nonna with no nonsense about photographing licences. In terms of money back we're ahead of the game. The groceries didn't trun when they were supposed to so contacted them. Much apologising and a refund for the full amount they said, "but we don't want a refund, we want our groceries", no problem we'll send them again. and they did, along with the original order! Noooo we've had two deliveries and a refund, please take payment and collect the goods left by the back door. The goods were collected but after our best efforts and numerous calls they still haven't taken the money. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,600 Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 Paul has been a hero today- I’m thinking of changing his name to Vidal or Androcles. This morning he cut the back of my hair and it feels good, and this afternoon he pulled a thorn from the sole of my paw (foot). That’ll teach me to go barefoot in the garden... He really is a man of many talents . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,728 Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 Androcles the Stylist.. I like it!! I have to admit to being barefoot (and many other parts) all day in the garden. Beautiful sushine.and an excuse for doing nowt all day since I overdid it yesterday.. ( It's official. Mrs Col said so..) Around lunchtime I found a Post Office card through the door.. "We have delivered your parcel to your neighbour at:' Then handwritten.. 'through side gate'. No date, time or other details. Checked my side gate. Nowt. Asked neighbours either side..Nowt. Tried couple opposite.. Nowt. Finally tried to call local sorting office ...only to find they close every day at 12:00. I'm not surprised I missed a delivery if there was one. what with me being caught between 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,305 Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 Got a bone to pick with @Stavertongirl She's been handing out my address to Gertie's friends! First thing this morning, I found an humongous, black, eight-legged bruiser skulking in my bathroom basin! "Ey up!" it said, darkly. "Goodbye," I replied as I dropped it out of the bathroom window, having caught it in the ever present plastic tumbler. Don't mind the smaller ones but I'm not having a giant like that in residence. On a happier note, I met Horace the hedgehog last night. I've been putting food out for a few days and the dish has been empty each morning. He has a bath in the water. At 9pm, after I'd finished watching Igor the bat doing his aeronautics under the moon, along came Horace. He's not too large but the way he eats, he soon will be. I couldn't be happier if someone had given me the crown jewels. I love hedgehogs and am so lucky to find one in my garden. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stavertongirl 1,719 Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 No doubt it’s doggedly making its way towards my side room. Unfortunately there is a tenant in situ at present so there will be no vacancy until such time as the tenancy agreement expires. Even then the said in situ tenant has the option to renew the said tenancy agreement providing all the conditions of said tenancy have been fully met and both sides are in agreement. So alternative accommodation will be needed for said bruiser. Any offers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,141 Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 My day today is...3rd.day on the go where it's literally too hot to sit outside. Clear blue sky and none of CTs white lines in the sky. i'll keep looking Kev. Happy Days folks !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,126 Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 Too hot to sit outside! It’s only around 14C in your part of the world. Wait until it gets up to 20C as it soon will. Time to take your winter woolies off I think! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,141 Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 I'm not in my part of the world though Mr.Mayfield. Not referring to shade temperatures but sitting in direct sun, watching all these tourists playing "Master and Commander" on the river. Bit disappointed though, nobody's fallen in yet or hit the bridge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,141 Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 I'm waiting Riverside in me hi-viz jacket ready to dive in, if anybody falls overboard or off the bridge. Then I'll be in like a geriatric otter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,126 Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 There was a lot of police activity in our village at 6 o’clock this morning. Numerous police vans and CID cars. A 53 year old man was arrested and remains in police custody for offences against the Environmental Protection Act. There are the usual public comments that ‘this sort of thing doesn’t happen in our sleepy village’. I can guess who it is but as no names have been released I can’t say. This could become very interesting. Plenty to gossip about at the pub tonight! The plot thickens on this case. After a bit of delving I’ve discovered this was part of a countrywide case of substantial illegal waste dumping at various unlicensed sites and there were dawn raids on other addresses.

Beekay 5,141 Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 Mary1947, After coming here for the last 24 years, both on boats and in cottages, I can honestly say "Bin there, done that, made the film". We are staying where the big boats are berthed, so see them passing every day. However, they are not carrying passengers until May 17th, when Uncle Boris has told them it's okay. Nowadays, we just like to sit on the patio and watch peeps enjoy themselves. You can always tell the complete novice, he's the one who wears a 1.99 skippers hat (usually too small) playing Master and Commander, far side of the river. He's the one who forgets to lower the canopy or move the aerial and loses them when going under Wroxham bridge. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
