Hail or snow? Had some hail in Whitby yesterday, caught the edge of a thunderstorm that was mostly out at sea.

June one year camping at Shell Island it proper snowed in June.. My sister was like "Other people go to Spain dad", he was like "All is good, we can still go out on the boat, the sea isn't very rough". o_O
 
Oh my goodness ! Yes mines an import. Been here 2 years but they keep changing their mind. Agree with me on the phone then write what they like on the V5 !!
 
Today’s WTF.

We have bought a new sofa and chair.

Delivered and placed in living room.

Old sofa and chair in garden.( good as new, wife wanted a change ) it’s big and heavy as hell.

I’ve tried to give it to the charity shops
One asked if it had its fire labels still attached - ERRM, no.
Don’t want it then.

One said can I deliver it ?
STFU

So, Arranged to have it collected by a ā€˜van and man’ for a fee of Ā£80 - fair enough.

They didn’t turn up…. Then when we arranged a new pick up date they began adding new rules:

Must be dry
Must be covered in waterproof material
Must be clean
Must be placed at the end of your drive on the evening before collection

Can you give me an estimated time for pick up as my drive will be blocked by the sofa ?

No.

FFS

Placed in on a local free sales web site - stating
good condition, free, collection only.
With a couple of photos.

Some of the replies:

Can you deliver it to my nan who lives in Swansea.

Can I come around with my husband and sit on it.

Will it fit in a Focus with the seats down

I live local to you, would we be able to carry it between us to Smith St number 67

OMG

Has anyone ever chainsawed a leather sofa and chair into manageable bits to fit in the Elgrand for tipping ?

To be continued….

Council should remove it , usually for a small fee compared to the ā€œ van and manā€
You don’t have to be a council tenant

I think she has tried that avenue but I shall ask.
I think it was the council who gave a silly lead time 6 /8 weeks and I’m not having it in my garden until then.

Cheers.
