They are also using slang names for football teams like we all know wot they mean!!!

Pompey < < < Southampton . . . apparently!!!

Pompey is Portsmouth, shirley, and 'early doors' is pretty old (something to do with theatres allowing you to pay a bit more and get in early, before the crush).

Early doors;  always called my 5.30pm shift in the pubs that..!

(Before this all day opening cafÃĐ culcha bollox)

Cosmopolitan

Paying 60p for a first class stamp for a birthday card, posting it on Monday to arrive for Thursday, to allow plenty of time and then it goes missing . I know 60p isn't a great deal of money but the card cost me a couple of quid (my rant is more about the principal than the cost) and to me, a card 'only counts' on the birthday. I posted it with 2 others at the same time to the same recipient and they turned up on Tuesday. No wonder people are using e-cards more and more. No point in keep putting the price of postage up and then giving a crappy service 

San

Insurance companies that have their details on online comparison sites that get you to put in quite precisely the cover you want, the level of excess etc.. then give you a nice cheap quote, direct you to insurer's website where you find out they've increased the excess you stated by 200 quid    Yes More Than, I'm looking at you!    Guess what I've been doing this afternoon....   

Kaffs

San, if i am sending nore than two cards to the same address i put them all in the same brown envelope and then post.  This makes them less obvious to any would be sneak thief and always ask for proof of postage - not sure which but one is free, my daughter works in a post office and never sends money in cards without doing this

Hehe ... I hate it too, Lee

 

I had a frend who had a baby the same time as me.  We used to have coffe at one or others house every morning. One morning, her son did one of those 'explosive' nappies. She sorted him out, then made me coffee without washing her hands.  She said that she was so experienced at nappies she never went anywhere near the poo. I never went anywhere near her (brown!) coffee after that!

 Oh gawd,Rexi I've saw that happen too,it's disgusting ....I worked with a girl years ago ,she always came to work done up to the 9's ,head to toe the full works.I noticed while in the loo one day she was a walker but thought it may have been a one of incident.Turned out it wasn't,no-one would ever take up her offer of a drink,apparently one member of staff did broach the subject with her and she said she washes her hands after a pooh but if it's only  a pee there's no need.

That's a bit much ............................I don't mind lending my neighbours stuff (it's very rare TBH) and i have been known to borrow now and then but - three times in a day! What was it? tea bags, then milk, then sugar
