Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Fixed. Switched to Google DNS 8.8.8.8 rather than the original setting of ISP provided on my router.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
My neighbour. Their extension was done on the cheap and the slapdash digger driver went over the boundary line by several inches when excavating their patio. The promised backfill of course never happened and the end post for the chain link boundary fence was not replaced. I've given them more than a year to make it right but I'm now fed up of the gap in the fence, allowing any lowlife burglar free movement between our back gardens, so I'm fixing it myself. And now my back and knees are killing me!
New fence post has been Postcrete'd in, a bit of aluminium strip from my old compost bin has been repurposed as a tension bar, new bit of fencing spliced into the old one, several wheelbarrow loads of soil moved from the high side to the low to infill the gaps left behind. I still need to re-level the ground under the new bit of fencing to make it dog proof but that will have to wait for another day... And their garden still looks like the Somme after the bombardment. They have a lovely patio and new furniture on it, but the view is just appalling - rubble, broken pallets heaps of chalky subsoil!!

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
But they have a 'look at me' photo of it on SM so that's OK.
