Gripe of the day - What is yours?

[Bibio]

i seem to remember that the whole point of privatising was to reduce costs and give the customers better service. i'm still waiting.....

what really happens is that the fat cats get fatter ripping the public off and there is nothing the Gov can do about it once its done. why cant the Gov hire the right people to run the services in the first place and make profit that then goes back into the public purse.

well that my gripe for today and i'm going to go to a happier place now.

To reduce costs they've got to make money, so a handling charge is one way.

Didn't it used to be less than £8?

waiting for a parcel... leaving work .... finding out its been sat in reception since lunchtime and you just havent been told #'~@@'~@~''£%~@!

Bank holiday weekend here and the first time in 16 years I haven't been on a bike trip to the mountains this weekend.
Would love to go but still to weak from the heat attack.
Bugger.

At least you're here to ride again Bill, and we're grateful of that.

My MIL was taken into hospital on Tuesday, A&E said heart attack, but later on the ward, they said probably muscular?

Initial blood test result was lost and they didn't tell her the result of the scan?

Not good

She was back at the Doc's this morning, as she was still feeling ill

I tell you what Bill, I'd move heaven and earth to get a ride in the mountains you tease us with in your photos!

Get well soon and get riding and photographing!

Thanks Pete!
I suppose realistically I shouldn't expect to be riding so soon,
But I'm a terrible patient at home when it comes to waiting.
I've always cheated a bit in the past and started doing things earlier than the docs say.
I had planned to get myself well enough for a ride this weekend when I was first in the hospital but just too much to overcome or maybe I'm just getting old (nah)
Nothing to do but resign myself to more rest and getting well.
Is no fun at all though.

This whole day... one of the nicest days of the year so far so was looking forward to it, heading out, saw something that started me thinking and stressing/worrying, continued to alston... "im not gona spoil my day".... turned off A69, head not clearing, made few mistakes, more stressy n worked up, "rite im going home" (didnt even make it to alston)... now in grump... got on the A69, headphones started going weird and messing up, all I could hear through the buds was wind noise, and when I pulled over and taking gloves off to look, I could even hear the ruffling and velcro undoing through them. GRRRRS! Also ontop of that, few times didnt hear any turn-over when pressing starter, but worked out if I just wiggle the clutch when holding it in to start it, its fine. Must just be the switch.. but grrrrss... was really hoping for a chilled happy day.
