Rare Megabear2 Posted March 11 #56177 Share Posted March 11 Helplines???? Currently in a huge argument with LG about my broken 2 1/2 year washer dryer that cost nearly £1,000 due to its 5 year guarantee. This is machine number four since November 2021 - this unit delivered May 2022! Yes madam, it's due a repair, good can I have a clue? No sorry ... It's now a week and counting, although the latest conversation an hour ago gave mention of 29 March! Not going to happen said I, what happened to checking if the customer is available, after all that's Easter weekend. No I'm told you get Monday, how about 15 April instead ......

Snow Hill Posted March 11 #56178 Share Posted March 11 9 hours ago, lincslady said: Yes, and it might be as simple as William not being a professional photographer has slightly 'doctored' something on his photo to make sure everyone is looking at their smiley best, and is just not very good at it. Something that apparently lots of people do to put a good image on to 'social media'. Whatever, sadly it now does need explanation which may well not be forthcoming. Oh what a tangled web we weave ....... To be honest I couldn’t care less whether the photo was edited or not, I do it with mine on occasions, as do many people. She has said that she didn’t do a very good job of editing and apologised, so that should draw a line under it. As for not where her wedding ring, she had been in hospital for a period and has been recovering, many people lose weight after hospital treatment, I remember my boss a few years when she returned to work after 4 months off, she said “before any speculation I am not currently wearing my wedding ring as it may need to be altered after I lost weight, I didn’t want to wear it in case I lost it” That could quite easily apply to the Princess of Wales, but wouldn’t be newsworthy. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalos Posted March 12 #56181 Share Posted March 12 Morning 6.c and a bit damp here too. The other day one of our local farm tractors came down our road with the driver shouting it's the end of the world ? 🤔 I think it was farmer Geddon 🙃 Hope you all have a great day -Take care 🙂 1 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eddie99 Posted March 12 #56182 Share Posted March 12 Damp here too, though not as heavy as forecast and due to clear mi-morning. That almost sounds like a win, with the weather we’ve been having 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapau27 Posted March 12 #56183 Share Posted March 12 Good morning. Light rain at the beach this morning. My bacon bap and coffee was nice though. I hope everyone has a wonderful day. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splice the mainbrace Posted March 12 #56184 Share Posted March 12 8c here and the rain has just stopped, it’s looking brighter in the west and coming this way. I need to cut the grass but finding a dry day this week according to the forecast might be difficult. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplesea Posted March 12 #56186 Share Posted March 12 Hi all, A dull and breezy day here, although very mild for this time of year. Yesterday next door had some work done on his house and it has been discovered that the ridge tiles need repointing, so that work is now being done and it sounds like we have elephants on the roof. I was feeling headachy when I got up and they are not helping! Meeting a couple of friends for coffee this morning, but other than the normal chores nothing else planned. Hope everyone has a good day. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josy1953 Posted March 12 #56187 Share Posted March 12 The rain stopped about an hour ago and the sky is slowly turning blue. I just had a phone call from my sister, I rang her earlier and asked her to go round to her son in law's house and do a thorough search for her grand-daughter's school tie because she couldn't find it this morning and we had to leave without it or they would be late for school, she has found it behind the radiator in the bedroom, just about the only place I didn't think to look. The girl has had to borrow one from the school office so hopefully she has learned to put everything where it was supposed to be. I think that I will visit the school uniform shop this afternoon to see if I can purchase a spare to leave in my car. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare P&O SUE Posted March 12 #56190 Share Posted March 12 Hello all, absolutely horrible here, chucking it down! I was going to walk down to my local shops and get a birthday card and my prescription is ready at the chemist. It’s only about a 7 minute walk but I will get drenched! When John gets home we’re intending on going to B&Q to get some matchpots so I’m going to get him to stop at the shops on the way! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincslady Posted March 12 #56193 Share Posted March 12 I just hope there is someone senior on their staff who can suggest the right move to make to undo the harm this has done, as the P of W has become pretty popular with a lot of the British public for seeming to be a good mother who has concentrated on work for which she is admired, as well as being nice to look at and good with people - especially children. Up to now she has been a definite asset to the family, but that reputation has taken a real nosedive, sadly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, just the daily rags making plenty of coin out of a mountain /mole hill situation . Just a different way of life for this generation . We take photos and think "Nah take it again " These days they have TV Ads that show you deleting folk in background / turning heads etc with certain phones. 99% sure she never gave it a thought when she tidied it up in her mind . Lets all be honest ,when we saw the photo none of us thought hold on that is not an original photo ? Todays news tomorrows history . Suppose Wills will learn to retake photos in future if Kate disapproves the photo. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
