Bad Payers 12th September 2012 3:23 PM
Hmm interesting point re bad payers - had my share of those over the years!

Just sitting on the fence here , my only comment is though if you charge per visit and you have only been once then "technically" you arent out of pocket are you? Ok i understand that the critters may return and if they do no doubt you will get called back but are you actually owed anything from the 1st visit?

Or am i missing the point ?

Hmm interesting point ...

I was always told in my English class to sign off a letter yours sincerely if you had addressed it to someone or yours faithfully if you started dear sir.

Was also taught never to start a letter Im writing to .... - its obvious you're writing 'coz im reading it lol

Come on someone - why do we use these terms?

Can actually see this having an adverse effect and certainly make the Neighbour Disputes section of the Councils a lot busier

Wonder if it will work as the Government think it will - my 2 pennies - not a chance!
I read this news snippet with interest, being in the mars a day club (and still being able to fit through the door ) - to be honest i dont know what all the fuss is about.

Seems this isnt a new craze and by all accounts its a 1 time thing, try it and probably never go back .... not quite sure why Mars are getting so upset.

May be the question should be once you by a product does the manufacturer of said product have the right to dictate how that product is eaten?

As i dont like their ice-cream version i I often freeze my mars bars n chew on it for about an hour (is it any wonder why my teeth are so bad ) - is that against their rules?

Only just seen this lovely new avatar, Clive. Very sweet

Did you have a good holiday?

Holiday - yes great thanks - 2 weeks of no stress or Steve lol

Avatar - hmm Steve meddling whilst i was away - took me a few days but i quite like it now - have a better foto with the MLS logo facing forward - need to download it from my fone
Mine had all their shots and both are fine as a result, cant understand parents not taking FREE vaccines when they are available. As with all medicines a very small % of people will suffer a reaction but 99.9% of cases will be fine - i know what odds i will/did take!

Steve - a few bottles of calpol and she will be fine - wonder if Calpol sell shares ... we may have to invest
The new Microsoft - logo. 29th August 2012 2:30 PM
Didnt the BBC do the same several years ago at the cost of millions of licence fees pounds?

For what reason - i dont think the Microsoft logo looked particularly dated before.

Whilst on the subject and a touch of hi-jacking the thread anyone else get miffed by Walkers "new" flavours - what was wrong with the old flavours?

Then you get Bolds whiter than white which was whiter than white before & was even better than the previous version despite being shown a brilliant white shirt 4 whiter than whites ago! - why do we allow to be patronised by these advertising idiots?
Recession Strategy 29th August 2012 2:19 PM
Heres one for you Barney - heard quite a few stories about heating engineers/plumbers turning up on site - then going off to get parts, meanwhile the meter on the hourly rate is ticking.

Whilst i accept you cannot carry every single part for every single job is it fair to charge whilst out collecting parts?

Think i read one story that was a fairly simple case of a small part being required yet the travelling time exceeded the actual fitting time!
