They don’t know how to fix the problem apparently. I’m no civil engineer, so I could be talking out my cakehole here (as usual), but surely to Christ they can fix a bridge. No-one is asking them to cure cancer, land a man on Mars, or get St Mirren into the top 6. It’s a road and bridge that has been there since the late 1960s. Get it fcuking fixed you useless kunts, and don’t take four fcuking years to do it. You’re supposed to know about these things. There. That’s my take on it, ill-informed or otherwise. If there were more gang related murder victims to be buried in the pillars the repairs would be quicker... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're told not to leave deliveries in bins in case it ends up in a bin lorry. If you haven't got another safe place to tell them about, try to be home for a delivery some time and tell him/her what bin to leave stuff in. What he should have done of course is take it back and try again the next day which is a pain as he won't get paid for second or third attempts.

I was down that way for a couple of days last week. Have the trams stopped (or ever started) running on Princes Street? They were temporarily finishing at Shandwick Place while the terminus stop at York Place was being demolished. Now that is complete, the trams are running along Princes Street again, now terminating at St Andrew Square, though they still have to run on to York Place to switch to the other track for the return journey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly what happened to my in-laws a couple of months back. They put the parcel in one of the bins but failed to put a card through the door informing them of this. The bin was lifted a couple of days later with the parcel inside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Re roadworks. I think its the same everywhere. The LAs seem to give the green light ( ) for them to start all at the same time. It certainly seems to be the case in Inverness. There's never just one set of temporary lights on your journey, there's always two or more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) All the pavements around about me have had wonky trenches dug through them (for the purpose of some fibre-optic upgrade), which have been infilled with black tarmac. Finished product looks absolutely awful. Eta: also, the constant wankathon any time any form of aurora gets spotted. "Was literally shaking taking this picture" type pish.

Some years ago I was expecting a delivery from them which never arrived. I got an e-mail from them saying the driver had run out of time and would I like to arrange redelivery - e-mail was timed at about half past two in the afternoon. I had work the following day but my neighbour agreed to take it in for me. Got home to find no parcel had arrived. The neighbour couldn't stay in the following day so it seemed my only option was to pick it up myself from the depot. I knew they were based somewhere in West Lothian but they refused to give me the exact address "for security reasons" until my name was down to collect it. That was when I found they were miles from anywhere and public transport would be no help (I don't drive). Taxi would have cost a fortune, so I phoned them again and agreed to a Saturday delivery. Which cost me ten quid. b*****ds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
