Tradesmen.
You get them round to give you a quote, you get the quote and you say that's fine. Then they don't reply to texts or email messages about when they're going to turn up? So when they turn up at my mum house to do the work, and there's no one to let them in, who's fault will that be. If you don't want the work, just say I'm too busy

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
The heating insurance company text me last week that they were coming out on Tuesday for the annual inspection. Tuesday comes and the boiler man texts to say he's at my front door. Nice. I was at work.
Why am I grumbling about my not being there? The last annual inspection was 3 months ago. Even in my world that is outside the grace period for annual inspections. |

The BBC agrees with Mav's forecast so I'll head out for the day tomorrow instead.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Road resurfacing with loose chippings everywhere. Spoiled yesterday's ride as I slithered along at 20mph across large parts of Essex and Suffolk. Why can't they just send a road sweeper along afterwards.

Try riding those resurfaced roads on 25mm bicycle tyres, bloody lethal.
