What to stick on his windscreen which wont come off easily? [OT]

Ohhh, that's a weeks ban from rec.cars.maintenance then :-)

Ah so she had to clog the shops up when (single) people working all week had their only oppertunity to shop.

Dad doesn't drink, well a glass of wine at Christmas maybe. Pays even less attention to footbal that I do. Just because you are drunken football lout don't think everybody else is.

No we did things, as a family, at the week end, visited places no shopping.

It's fraud if the money is not used to do the repair. True financial loss does not exist until the owner sells.

Quite correct a dialasis machine could be some what essential, Apologies.

I *broad* terms what you *need* is clean water, something to eat and shelter. Everything else is a bounus that makes life easier or more comfortable.

Essentially, yes.

Where? There is a major chain supermarket called Tesco is that the one you mean?

You answer you own question. Shopping is a social activity. You only have to look at the big malls, crammed full of shops but very few of them actually selling anything useful. It's all brand, image and marketing puff. Dreadful places.

Which is the only point in time that the true value of the damage can be assessed. So that is correct time to ask for compenstation of the correct amount.

I also don't care. You're using a computer to access the internet. Carve it out of wood, did you? Are BT providing oil-free lines to link it to the phone network? Are your ISP's servers running on electricity you know to be generated by wholly environmentally friendly means?

You've already claimed to own a car.

Do you walk a mile to the shop, then carry your shopping home again?

Oh, I have social problems alright. Society has become a load of crap, and I never thought for one second I'd be saying that before pension age ;)

Having worked in the military side of the aerospace industry for well over 25 years, I can state that there is no such thing as common sense. In life, just as in the aerospace industry, you need an authority to do something, not just use common sense. One man's common sense is some one else's accident.

Having read your posts in many groups, I really hate to admit it, but I think you're right.

Then take a look at the link above and see what definition 3 says :-)

Dave

What a good point. Thanks, Dave,

I sometimes have very sick animals, who require 24 hour care and supervision. That can involve emergency shopping for their health, during which time it's hell not knowing if they'll be OK while I'm gone for 15 minutes. I'd say that's marginally more troublesome than leaving the significant other for half an hour to get some food in for the family.

I know it's impossible, but I'd just like to see a "no screaming, smelly, theiving, annoying brats who could easily be either controlled or left at home with the other parent" signs. Along with one wheeled device per customer unit (allowances made for wheelchair users) rules. Anyone who can manage to meet those requirements, however annoying it may be, wouldn't cause my blood pressure to rocket :)

A what ? There is a rather large and expensive piece of equipment called a Dialysis Machine, is that the one you mean ?

And air to breathe.

But not necessarily.

I'm on your side! Might be tough for you but there it is.

Mary

Pedantically, yes :-)

That aside, I once observed a car pass several open use, empty spaces that were much very closer to the supermarket door than the one remaining disabled space that was available at the farthest point from the door. It would appear that they have the mentality of 'I have a blue badge and I am going to park in the blue badge area'. Many is the time that I forget I have my g/daughters in the car and I park as close as I can to the supermarket door, just as I always do, without going into a parent and child area.

Or indeed mothers with pre-school children on board.

Why don't you apply for a job as a supermarket manager?
