  1. the are probably povided by 'provident' the door step lenders, who charge a typical APR of 177%

  3. You've missed the point lula, my point was i thought bookie had over reacted, some clown on the radio comes up with a spoof idea to win a holiday, big deal!?
  4. You seem helluva sure something is going to happen to me, or my family? You have also presumed because of my opinion, that i (or mine) dont have hardship to deal with for one reason or another?. FYI i am in the process of having access built at my back door, so that my sister in law, who was knocked down by a drunk taxi driver at 4 years of age, can visit her 2 niece. I know exactly what it means to live with highly dependant family. Does it change my point of view? No. Do i freak out if i see someone 'abuse' a space reserved for blue badge holders? No. Do i take offence at jokes about mentally or physically challanged people? No. The same way i dont take offence at a paddy and mick joke, or a scotsman and englishman and an irishman... .. ... Yet again, political correctness has taken over, someone cant make a joke to win a competition, in case it offends someone else?? Get off your high horse and live and let live. If you dont like it, switch to Radio 2
  5. What happens if there are NO spaces available except spaces reserved for the handicapped? I personally have no problem using these spaces if there is nothing else available, as i believe (particularly if you have to pay for the privelage anyway) that these spaces are more of a courtesy than a right. Bookworm, i personally believe you have over reacted to the callers suggestions. This guys ideas are like something from a chevy chase film, and not to be condoned (in real life), but i still cant see why you took such offence, sounds like it was just a bit of banter.. .. .. .. ............. i am not having a go, or trying to be controversial, just my opinion
  6. I left school in 1993, and i remember being taught in 'techi' how to wire a plug when i was about 14, it has stuck with me till this day, BRown Bottom Right, BLue Bottom Left etc, we were also taught basic 'home' skills in 'Home Economics', I don't think it is the quality of the curriculum that is the problem, i think it is the mentality of the students that is the problem
  7. about 13/14 years ago, i received a fixed penalty for leaving my vehicle unattended with the engine running. I had parked it at the door of the bakers on a saturday morning and ran in to buy rolls for breakfast, a friendly police officer walked by, opened the door and removed the keys, i was standing no more than 3 metres away and watching in disbelief. I remember the charge involved 'leaving vehicle running while unattended/hand brake off' the joys eh.. .. .. ..
