If road maintenance continues at its current level, wheeled transport will have to be replaced by hovercraft anyway...
Further to my posts about the council digging up the pavements on our road, removing the paving slabs with tarmac, they are also replacing all the kerb stones.
They are the lucky ones I assume they use voltarol when they turn in for the night ?
My autocorrect is doing some odd things of late. I haven't a clue how it has changed thought to twinge. It keeps changing vans to Van's too.
I get that sometimes, I'm damned sure I don't text you ducking idiot
It seems to me that the cure is a row of bollards along the edge of the pavement.

aunt is another oneHow many people want to text nun instead of mum?

( think about it )
There are some concrete bollards, but they are just at the ends of the pavement and on the edge of the grass next to the pavement instead of next to the road.It seems to me that the cure is a row of bollards along the edge of the pavement.
Because we are still a polite society and how we say things matters.
Part of a conversation, between a relative and their Polish boss, went like this,
I once worked with a Lithuanian chap who was very polite and friendly, except about Poles. "Poles are very trustworthy", he told me, "You can trust a Pole to seduce your sister, steal your pigs and never, ever, pay you what he owes you".
Because she has you well trained that's why
She must have known you'd be glued to something to have got the email though.I've just had an email off Mrs WW asking me to get a pack of butter out for her.
She's only upstairs. If she said "Get a pack of butter out will you" I'd hear her. Actually, why not come down and take it out herself? Ah, the wonders of women who have smartphones glued to them 24/7

and then I realised this was her sister and made the right connection.
Just as much as it puts money in his pocket, imagine the joy it brings to someone receiving a personal message. If he doesn't need the money he could just as easily be donating his earnings to charity.
You'd be surprised at the number of people who forget to retrieve the £1 and just drive off leaving the trolley anywhere in the car park. Quite often find a trolley not clipped into the next, so no coin or token required.
These are just scattered around, in the trolley station they are all linked.
Annoyingly, my local Tescos have started using trolleys with pound coin slots. I don’t carry cash including coins on me and in this current pandemic surely you’d want to minimise transmission/cash use?
If you need a trolley and have no change they can give you a plastic disc which works in place of a pound coin.
Fair point
My Tesco has never charged all the years its been there, thoughMe also, its just plain courtesy. There are even multiple trolley "parks" ( its a big place) although there is a guy at Tesco collecting trolley's,
That's take an hour at mine most times, massive queues and the people behind the counter nattering
) in a "slot" in my car, solely for the purpose.
Did you reply by email, or just shout back “Do it yourself”?I've just had an email off Mrs WW asking me to get a pack of butter out for her.

Our M&S has always used coin operated trolleys.
I will thoroughly wipe down my trolley using the J-cloths and disinfectant spray. As someone who used to be an avid detailer, it does take me a few minutes. I like going to waitrose (for specific ingredients) and they clean the trolleys for you.
