Popped to Chandlers on Wednesday and bought oil, filters and other stuff spending £86 ... no air filters though ... delivery on Friday.
So I went back yesterday for the air filter to discover everything is 10% off because it's Crick Show weekend ... bugger !
I asked if I brought my shopping back could I be refunded and then charged at the discounted rate.
You'll not be surprised to learn I was told emphatically "no"
Anybody gone to Crick ?
Went to the last one at Braunston and the first one at Crick, but never since ... not our thing.

Normally when I ask Midland Chandlers how much something is and they tell me, my next question is "What's it made of, gold?"

We will RIP you and eulogise if you do die. Made it back alive, if a bit muddy. Discovered a large shoal of (sea) bass chasing (sea) sandeels. Hammering them they were, the (sea) eels scattering everywhere across the surface as the (sea) bass chased them. Only in a foot of water over a sandbank. Hope they are there tomorrow, the fly rod will be making an appearance. Will you be using sea flies ?

Well what can I say? Nice walk with the dogs .. however vino post walk glass of vino proved not a gud idea...normally vino is an excellent idea until its accompanied by one of those 'lectures'... Apparently I had not made an effort down here..I should be inviting all n sundry into my home for f=drinks etc(never done that in my life) ..apparently I should not be concerned about my cancer etc etc.... I found myself apologising and promising to do better... Ive come home and thought summit not right... What happened in my past in that some folk trivialised everything that was wrong seemingly has now resurfaced to affect my life now. I just don't get it though I guess its not surprising I do not share much with 'nearest n dearest'

Patty. Ignore them... it's the only advice I can give. Your life...
ETA At one point in my life I had to ban my parents from visiting me, was upsetting from all sides but really made a long term change.

Boulters lock public power not working. Hand wind (Thames style so one is directly winding the hydraulic pump) is a bit jumpy so we (Duclinea and I) have to wait. Not an end of world situation. Nice bit of gardening. A lot of the lock keepers do keep the locks looking good which is pleasant. As usual Dulcinea is pretty unflustered which I always admire as a positive quality. It's a gongoozler lock normally but as it is so slow it's quite funny to observe attention spans. I'm a bit of a fan of watching attention spans. Not got a stopwatch but sometimes I feel it would be handy !

We will RIP you and eulogise if you do die. … Only in a foot of SEA water over a SEA sandbank. I fixed the ambiguity in your post for you.

You should never live your life to suit other people ..... it's your life to do with as you wish I've come to realise that eventually people do understand that trying to get me to change my ways is just a waste of breath.

He'll get there one day unless he gets off the train at his own chosen time.
