I'm curious about how companies (or individuals) like this get away with it. Have you thought about "exploring your options" with them to see exactly what they say? Catch it on a secret pen camera or recorded call. It would certainly make an interesting feature!

Aaaahh... that makes sense. In the last couple of days I've been cleaning up the forums of sticky threads I never read.

Anyone got a landscaping rake that I can borrow for a few hours?

Finally! At long last I can invite nice, civilised people around!


On an entirely unrelated note, where is the best place in East Clapham to meet nice, civilised people?

 

[T & P]

Not The Albert.

 

[Balbi]

The George IV is a good start.

 

[EastEnder]

Not The Albert.

In East Clapham it's now called 'The A-Bar'.

No trainers.
