That's a big saving.
Thats a significant saving. Especially when we are in a recession. Its lovely to buy your children nice clothes. My little girl likes Pumpkin Patch.0 -

Grown ups tell kids how they should behave; kids tell grown ups how they should behave; same with women and men. F.uck it! Why don't we just all behave the way we want to. Ars.eholes to conformity!!0

Subject: FW: THEY WALK AMONGST US
IDIOT SIGHTING #1
My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and I gave the clerk a £5 note. Our total was £4.20, so I also handed her a 20 pence piece. She said, 'You gave me too much money.'
I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me £1 back.'
She sighed and went to get the Manager who asked me to repeat my request.
I did so, and he handed me back the 20 pence and said 'We're sorry but we do not do that kind of thing.'
The clerk then proceeded to give me back 80 pence in change..
Do not confuse the clerks at MacDonald's.
IDIOT SIGHTING #2
We had to have the garage door repaired. The GARADOR repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a 'large' enough motor on the opener.
I thought for a moment, and said that we had the largest one GARADOR made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower.
He shook his head and said, 'Lady, you need a 1/4 horsepower.'
I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4 and he said, 'NOOO, it's not. Four is larger than two..'
IDIOT SIGHTING #3
I live in a semi-rural area. We recently had a new neighbour call the
Highways Department to request the removal of the 'DEER CROSSING' sign
On our road.
The reason: 'Too many deer are being hit by cars on this stretch of road! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.'
IDIOT SIGHTING #4
My daughter went to a local Kentucky Fried Chicken and ordered a Taco. She
Asked the person behind the counter for 'minimal lettuce.'
He said he was sorry, but they only had Iceberg Lettuce.
IDIOT SIGHTING #5
I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport
employee asked, 'Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your
Knowledge?' To which I replied, 'If it was without my knowledge, how would I
know?' He smiled knowingly and nodded, 'That's why we ask
IDIOT SIGHTING #6
The traffic light on the corner buzzes when it's on red and safe to cross the
road. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged friend of mine.
She asked if I knew what the buzzer was for.
I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red.
Appalled, she responded, 'What on earth are blind people doing driving?!'
IDIOT SIGHTING #7
When my husband and I arrived at our local Ford dealer to pick up our
Car, we were told the keys had been locked in it. We went to the
Service Department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the
Driver's door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked. 'Hey,' I announced to the Fitter/Mechanic, 'its open!'
His reply: 'I know. I already did that side.'
STAY ALERT!

I had to ask the kitchen supplier to deliver the broom cupboard unmade so we can build it around the boiler.0

I before E except after C, isn't really that true, is it ?0

There are exceptions but i find it a good general rule. Mispelt "weird" for years as a result though.0

I always struggle with guage. Or is it gauge.0

I saw (stopped to watch) 2 grown Women have a fight this morning while I was leaving Court (work not personal). It was hilarious, proper cat fight, scratching, hair pulling and rolling on the floor. Made my day 0

Dream jobs are REALLY hard to get..."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Even the CCTV is too scared to record people in Harlesden

I used to live in Harlesden -only for 6 months though.
In that time one of my 'housemates' went mad with an axe and tried to kill us all. I remained locked in my room throughout.
Eventually a gang of tooled up police arrived to remove him. Never saw him again. Never even had to give evidence or anything. His poor girlfriend moved out soon afterwards.
The guy who went mad was called Eugene. The whole thing reminded me of an old Pink Floyd song.0 -

I have never heard of Harlesden before.'Happiness serves hardly any other purpose than to make unhappiness possible' Marcel Proust.0 -
I once lived in Nottingham - it was OK but I have no strong feelings about it.'Happiness serves hardly any other purpose than to make unhappiness possible' Marcel Proust.0

I'm trying to guess when the council will come and remove the Christmas tree in Deptford. In previous years it's been there as late as the 3rd week in March, and gone as early as the last week in January. I'm going to go for the 2nd week in February.0

Harlesden sounds quite trendy, but I'm sure the reality is disappointing.0
