Loads of water, three rivers meet in our village. However, it is muck spreading season up and down the banks of said rivers......

Don't they have to provide potable water if its planned? Or did it just happen?

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Oh it just happened, most likely the same main that bursts every 4-5 months! I've not bothered to check TBH, its part of life. I know Welsh Water are in the process of fixing....

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Had one of those rides in to work where I felt like a total learner again. Fluffed every corner, every stop was a slam to a halt. Then realised I was freezing cold and probably not all there concentration wise because of it. It's been a while since that caught me out and worst bit is it often doesn't register as the cause as your brain isn't functioning properly. Hope I can remember how to ride on the way home~!

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
,.. nope, my riding home was crap too. Overthinking it possibly. Loads of traffic back on the roads too. I've definitely got used to empty roads streaming into work and back the last few weeks.

eBay sellers who sell broken things, then try and make returning as hard as possible and have no clue how to actually use eBay.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
It was pretty cold here last night too, but not as bad as Monday night when we had a frost which has nipped the tops of my early spuds. As most of the plants are underground they should be OK but they look horrible at the moment.
