Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
I'm finding the £100 limit on pay at pump is a pain, I hit the limit yesterday even though the reserve light hadn't come on. Now if I want to fill the tank I have to queue in the kiosk to pay.

Had my first £100+ tank full at the last fill up. I had run it down to the low fuel warning, which I don't usually. Tank is smaller than on my old Volvo V70. I've stopped putting the premium stuff in too.

SLK was £107 a couple of weeks back. For a small car, it has a bloody big tank.
Gremlinette had her first moan about how much it cost to put petrol in her car the other night. Welcome to the bottomless money pit of car ownership.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
I've started putting 95ron in too to save a bit of dosh but tbh i find i get better economy from super, so what i save at the pump buying 95ron i tend to make up in mpg when i fill up with super (99ron), so i'm back on the super again now.Count Steer wrote: ↑Mon Jun 06, 2022 10:25 am Had my first £100+ tank full at the last fill up.

Had my first £99 fill up with the car last weekend, although I did also fill up a 5l plastic can for the mower. (it runs a LOT better on super!)

Commercial diesel pumps sometimes have this overridden, and the 200l maximum delivery too.
Some years ago I filled my classic Range Rover and my boat on the same trip to the pumps. That's when I learned about the 200l limit.

Learning that P.J. Bakers in Wapping has closed after God only knows how many years. A proper old-school bakers shop that was like stepping back into the 60's, with prices to match. I used to stop in there all the time on the way to work, fill up with huge traditional cakes and stick 'em on a plate in the middle of the office.
I know it was family-run and they were cracking on a bit, so maybe there was nobody to hand it on to.
God, how I'll miss those London Cheesecakes...

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
Kids. They're just bloody horrible sometimes.
We had a school thing yesterday evening and Gremlinette asked if we could pick up one her school friends on the way. Not a problem, so into the car pops Riley, aged 17. Nice kid, bit geeky but chatty and generally pleasant. When we dropped him off I commented that he was a nice kid. Gremlinette tells us that he gets the piss taken out of him as school coz his mum's in a wheelchair and it gets him really down.
Little shits. You'd think at 17 they'd be a bit more fucking mature than rip the piss over something like that.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
I was probably like that at 17, and older! Most of my mates were too. I don't think its really who you are, its just showing off in a dumb way and goading each other to be worse etc.gremlin wrote: ↑Wed Jun 08, 2022 1:00 pm Kids. They're just bloody horrible sometimes.

AFAICR the horrid zoo-mentality nastiness dropped off a cliff after secondary school, pretty sure there was little of it at sixth form. Nearly 40 years later I still find it a little irritating life was dominated by unnecessarily stressful schooldays.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
Depends on the person and schooling imho.
At my college (private school) it was rife, at my Uni (mostly ex-public school) it was definitely there (but tempered by the normal students), I've worked in places with a very definite schoolyard mentality.

How like the mainland this place has become. There's now double yellow lines, a zebra crossing and I saw someone walking about the village carrying a take away coffee cup.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
I'm not sure that's the case. People don't sit and call him Handicapped or other such words, they actively disagree with his posts, which is something completely different. If he can't accept people don't agree with his opinions the he should keep them inside.Potter wrote: ↑Wed Jun 08, 2022 5:49 pmLol, yeah none of that on this forum.
I hope you all remember this new found empathy the next time Screwdriver comes back to the forum, he's provocative but he's one of the sharpest and most astute posters on the forum but he gets bullied off every time by dickheads.
If I were to rant random things I'd expect to be pulled up on it, I'd expect them to be picked apart
If screwdriver comes here and posts proven content, people may agree more. But that's not what he does.
We've got fat, skinny, old, young, gingers, Welsh, bkacks, Asians, none of them are given stick for any of that. If they were, the ban hammer would be out quickly.
If you think I'm doing it all wrong, we have ways and means to address, report, shout. Use them.
