The reason I c.c. my MP is that he then writes to the same person and says 'please ensure you send me a copy of your reply to Mrs Skinner' and that means they have to reply to me! I'm sneaky like that.

Plus another £800 for the bus fare to get to the station and the buses run only one or two an hour only and are notoriously unreliable with no service on Saturday evenings or at all on Sundays.

People who fail to use public toilets correctly. You would think in a private building with only 100 'adults' there wouldn't be this problem. Or do people pull the seats off, not flush, go on the floor and block the sinks at home?!

Not necessarily, we have some disgusting creatures who do this in our building, and they're all over 20.

They don't know hat a loo brush is for

Two pensioner's on the bus.
One says to the other.
"How are you getting on with the loo brush you bought last week".
The other old dear says
"Couldn't get on with it, I've gone back to using paper "....
