had to ring DWP today ... shortened version of 10 mins of my life I won't get back :
"hi, I need to change my appointment as I'm probably having chemotherapy on Friday so won't be up to doing an interview next Tuesday"
"Ok ... changed it to 16th Manchester * is that ok ?"
( * yes, she DID say Manchester instead of March ... at least 3 times during the call )
"should be ok but if they have to defer it again, I'll let you know as soon as I know"
"Have to inform you that you can't change it again"
"ok, no problem ... assume they can visit me in hospital then if required ?"
(at this point some common sense DID kick in and I was advised to call and say "change of circumstance" and not "need to change appointment slot" )

The B bloody BC and their website. Go on to find radio shows to listen to - they have a lot of good stuff in the Sounds section e.g. old Sherlock Holmes, old Sci-Fi shows etc., only to find that they have entire series on there but "not available at the moment". What's the point of having a website crammed with stuff that can't be listened to? Each episode has its own page, description of the episode etc., but can't be listened to. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01j9gzs/episodes/guide
What's the f*cking point of having the bloody website then? Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

It would be like the NADICs boards up here, you know, “keep to the left” or use “passing places to permit overtaking” absolutely no one pays any attention unfortunately.

They should just allow near-side overtaking on motorways. It would make things so much better. Middle laners can then just sit in their nose-to-tail lines and everyone else can flow either side of them. By sitting in the middle lane, they make a three lane motorway in to a single lane carriageway in effect. Twots, the lot of them.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

It’s actually more annoying on a dual carriageway. We have people up here that will hog the outside lane of the A9 from Inverness to onwards for miles doing 50mph and refusing to budge. I can understand people undertaking tbh.

I agree. The A34 from Oxford down to Newbury and the south coast is the same. Idiots sitting there and not moving over. Not helped by the lorries that play elephant racing for mile after mile, blocking both lanes.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

I ordered a skip priced as a delivery cost + per tonne disposal. Rain has now soaked the contents and increased the weight [mass]: I now have to pay for the disposal of rain to landfill.
