Lol. I've got one of the original big ones that had the metal VC on top. Sound was very good and it's still in my living room but has been unplugged for years as it kept hearing something on TV and started babbling. Very irritating it was lolQuote:

She loved her toilet humour, my nan :)
just that phrase "skid mark on the gusset" cracks me up :lol:
We too have one of those full size ones in the bedroom (if that comment doesn't bring Marco out of hibernation I don't know what will), but it too doesn't get used (still talking about the Echo!).Quote:

That's not fair, I still remember being without electricity for a week after the "great storm" in 1987. Mind you, I live in Suffolk so possibly up t'north in the minds of MP's :lol:Quote:

On another point my housing Assoc are making it unlikely that I will get to put s ev charger on wall by driveway. They are putting so many obstacles in way for a poxy simple job it's obvious they just don't want it. Link claim to be a green company too .
The company for instance said they would want to update the consumer box. Link say no. It's their box nobody touches it.
So much for them being green .
I'm about to give up quite frankly.
Suffolk is southerners, Norfolk is northerners, clue is in the name :ner: I consider myself a northerner, but to Scottish folk I'll be a southern jessie or something. As they are wont to say in the Appalachians it's all relative :)
I'm a southerner to n of Scotland folk.Quote:

On the eastern side I would expect it to be colder, but my friends up at Ullapool have it a bit milder I think. Gulf Stream brushes past it, even have palm trees in Plockton iirc. Though you wouldn't know it if you tried swimming up there - I did once, never again.Quote:

Back to Grant's point (I think), I would agree that this government seems determined to alienate the very people from up t'north who gave them their massive victory last election.
