Nearly had a massive accident some weeks ago involving a one way street... looked left and nothing coming pulled into the road and then had to brake hard as a Mobility Scooter travelling in the wrong direction on the road cut across me... I wasn't happy could have killed the bloke easily and its the idiot of the scooter giving me grief....Victor_OTT_17 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 04, 2026 12:15 pm Mobility chariots 'on the road' wound me up to heck in England! I was a postman for 6 years and the amount of times they held up my van was ridiculous! You're all guessing I lived in Mansfield too long by now right? Mansfield is the mobility chariot capital of the world...

Wildfires breaking out all over the country.
And there's a plonker just down the street who's decided today is a good day
to have a bonfire in his back garden...

They tax you 30 ways to hell while you’re alive & then when someone dies they decide sod it we’ll just take the rest.

We are already putting plans in place for the Inheritance Tax, and I’m only 55.

100% BB, some people think it’s morbid or bad luck to plan ahead but trust me the alternative is a nightmare. 1st priority is to make a will though no matter what age you are, lots of solicitors will draft a will with a donation going to charity and it can then be changed at any time.Barlow Boy wrote: ↑Wed Aug 26, 2026 11:56 am We are already putting plans in place for the Inheritance Tax, and I’m only 55.

Smiles Are Like Sunshine
By Kate Louise Wheeler
The sunshine makes the flowers grow,
They cannot thrive in shade;
If naught but darkness did they know
Their brightness soon would fade.
Our lives require the sunlight’s glow,
They cannot thrive in gloom;
If naught but darkness did they know
Bright hopes would never bloom.
The sunny smiles that make life bright
And bless the passing hours,
Will do for souls that need the light
What sunshine does for flowers.

I had the Power Of Attorney for my dad, never came into play as he kept his marbles until the end, but well worth doing.

Thankfully, we had everything in place to make things so much easier.

Angry: people that do nothing but complain or are just negative! you know like when someone posts and you know before you read it: it's a whinge or it's negative? That!
Happy: getting a promotion at work today plus more hours with more pay! Also, getting a top review from my manager on my conduct, work ethic, attendance and influence on others around me at work! That!

They tried to do the same with me. I argued with them and in the end agreed to pay an extra £4 a month.

All our money is going to pet charities, apart from 10k to my brother as a token gesture, that might change pending on circumstances.
