Text yesterday to say it would be delivered between 2 and 6, with a link to a tracker which has been updating all day, moving back and forward between 4.30-6.30 and 5-7. Phone call at 5.55pm to say they had forgotten to load the fucker onto the truck this morning. = driver was running late and his shift finished at 6 so nae fridge for Mark. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the fridge's real owner came back and the driver had to make a run for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEADOWXI Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Morrison's this morning. Shopping came to £6.45. Tenner put in the self service till, and the change of £3.55 comes out. Made up of; 3 x £1 coins 2 x 20p coins 15 x ONE PENCE PIECES. My views on the cashless society may have taken a slight shift. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I'm off genuinely ill today but I still feel guilty about being off? That's kind of annoying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 People who use the term "one pence". It's ONE PENNY, you fucking clowns - it says so on it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said that so as not to confuse it with the pre-decimalisation penny, no need now, it was 46 years ago. One penny, two pence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 People dicking around with quotes. When I just want to order something there and then whilst not particularly fussed about price (as long as it's no massive rip off), I'm really not up for a week of back and forward email chat. Half the time they've taken so long that I've got the goods in hand from another supplier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmothecat2 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 If I was asking someone for £3.01 I wouldn't say 'three pound one penny' that sounds odd. I would say '3 pound 1 pence'.Yet if I were just to say 1p I would say 'one penny'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmothecat2 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Three Pounds, FFS! It's 'three pound' when you are about to mention pence, it's 'three pounds' when it's exactly £3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really isn't. You've spent too much time in Yorkshire. ETA: I'm trying to say it as you are suggesting and my brain won't let me. It goes against the some of the most basic laws of grammar.
