Sometimes it’s just for people who are going away for a long weekend, somehow scared of leaving their house alone for three nights. Not even talking about big mansions full of valuables or anything here, just bog-standard middle class houses. Eta: this is for houses with no pets to look after inside, just an empty house. How much can she charge for that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard anyone north of Cumbria call it a Bap. A Butty I've heard in the West of Scotland but rarely hear anyone ask for bap. What the f**k are those borderers c***s up to? A Rowie? Late to this conversation but I have never heard of a Rowie in my life. Its a roll in D&G - always has been. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None near me sadly, the ones in Edinburgh look suspect. Not sure if I would rather a couple who know you will be pumping away on your bed or a single guy who will be inviting local singles round in something that will resemble the butler from Wolf of Wall Street. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She works part-time in a cafe and uses the house/pet sitting as a top up. Just seen the price of dog walkers though. F***ing hell. I should seriously consider undercutting the competition seeing as I usually go out for an hour walk anyway. That said, I’d probably wake up with a horse’s head in my bed or something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's had an offer for her business by a bigger company but isn't selling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similarly a bottling company based in Huntly recently lost a case over the Loch Ness brand name after suing Loch Ness Spirits based in Dores, right on the Northern tip of the Loch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 That darts Player from Huntly, John Henderson, who's nickname is Highlander. Presumably because it starts with the same letter as his surname. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Called out Hotpoint and the next appointment was a week away, I describe the fault and the code and explain it might be the control panel based on what I can see. They show up a week later and say it’s the control panel, but they don’t have a spare as the engineer wasn’t told any fault details. Next available appointment another week away, shows up and changes control panel, but still doesn’t work so says it must be leaking into the base and needs a new seal. Don’t carry those either. Next available appointment yet another week. Shows up today and can’t find a parking space on our street. Doesn’t want to park on single yellow lines, but wouldn’t wait for a space to free up or look outside our street for a space so passed onto another engineer. Next appointment another fucking week. Why did they delete the heads gone thread? I need to nominate myself. Today comes and goes without an appearance from Hotpoint, despite texts saying the engineer was minutes away at one point. Then get a call from their service centre to say the engineer cancelled the job as he didn’t have the parts, despite the one last week saying he had the parts and would pass them on to the engineer. Even if he didn’t have them, surely you check what job you’re going to and make sure you have the parts before you arrive ffs. They’ll contact me in 3-4 working days to rearrange as the part no longer is held in stock by them. So what did the c**t last week have in the van then?! I’m absolutely fucking seething at how useless this company are. Disgraceful service. Edited December 17, 2020 by Honest_Man#1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) Booked my car in for a service on Monday and went to drop it off today. Apparently, I'm an idiot for assuming that this meant that my service had actually been booked when I turned up today. According to them it "Clearly says in the email to wait for you booking to be confirmed." I'll let P&B judge what the main message of this email was: Edited December 17, 2020 by Carl Cort's Hamstring 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
