I've been offered this watch to purchase but know zilch about this brand. Any thoughts anyone?

I found a purse when walking in London. Late at night, and a bit cold and hungry, we walked a mile and a bit to the nearest police station only to find it had been closed down. We called the police for advice but they weren't interested. Anyway, on the train journey home I had a closer look at the cards in the purse and managed to get the phone number of the lady in question with the help of her art club. I posted the purse back to the young student and got a nice thankyou letter in return. Although it's the right thing to do, it did cost me some inconvenience, and the princely some of 3.50 in postage, so I can understand why some people might not be arsed and would just pocket the contents of wallet.

Probably been mentioned before, but when you've been queuing for a while at the checkout and they open an additional till and say "first in here please" and the cretin at the back of the queue hears this as "you're next you moronic fuckwit". I would publicly flog these scum.

Reminds me of a new start at work. I had created a folder on the network for her in advance thinking her name was Lyndsey. You should have heard the grief and indignation, "That's no me! my name's Lynsey" as if it was some kind of personal insult. Note that's not even on the OP's list. Btw, before anyone suggests it would have been courteous to check the spelling beforehand, life is too short to spend half a day trying to get info from our precious HR wummin'. But that's another topic.

Still preferable to being stuck on a train which isn't moving because there's cattle/deer/leaves (sigh) on the line and your surrounded in a crowded carriage with standing room only by a drunken hen party of wailing banshees heading to Glasgow.

Yoda, you sir are talking bollocks. I've travelled on the late Saturday night bus from Inverness to Glasgow on the Megabus many a time ( the sleeper to London service ) and it's a first class service. Quiet, bags of room, spacious leather seats, power points and wi-fi. One stop at Aviemore, never been late once, bang on 3h 35min. And a free snack. Use the daily services as well, which are obviously busier, but still provide a reliable service. You need to plan your journey a bit better. 5 hrs on the A9, lol
