I’ll start off here, Car Tax refunding Via Cheques, paid it over the phone and it’s a great service, any refund you get a Cheque which means a trip to your bank, parking, etc etc.
Why can’t they pay to the card you paid on, stupid especially as high street banks are pretty rare now in smaller villages 😡

Road works - a road near to us was closed two months ago for about three weeks for resurfacing. It reopened on time and the surface was in pristine condition. A week later it was shut again for the road markings to be applied. Three weeks ago it was closed again and a length of it was dug up for new pipework to be laid. The company repaired the surface and reopened the road, but there is a noticeable area where the surface has sunk slightly. I've just been along the same stretch of road and seen a sign that says more roadworks are scheduled in two weeks time and the road will be closed again.
Why can't all these companies liaise with each other and coordinate any roadworks ? No doubt the surface will look a right mess with uneven patches of tarmac yet again.

Rather severe disc herniation. Got it after throwing away and moving an awful lot of things for several weeks at my Mother's place after she'd died of mistreatment at the hospital.
Now terrorized by a curator at the hospital.

It really is a joke the number of temporary traffic lights you see with literally no work going on and no disturbance to the road. And regarding your last point... Severn Trent had temporary three way lights on the corner of Woodbank Street and Navigation road in Burslem whilst installing pipework to supply a new housing development. The team who had a similar job of installing new gas supplies approached the council and asked if they could tag on to the works already going on, leaving the lights in place to get the job done quicker. Their request was denied as the council make money from each new permit issued, so the lights had to be removed and put back a few days later.

There’s temporary traffic lines on the way to Market Drayton which have been there for months which have cost £1000’s in hire fees,no reason why they are there other than to slow traffic down apparently 🤡🤡

Well I’ve just been out with the other half for a few jars and there was a couple sitting opposite to us watching the Man Utd game on their phone , he certainly wasn’t speaking to his other half, although I was keeping an eye out on the game I kept asking him for the score just to run it in.

That's another thing that boils my piss. I bank with Barclays and through their app, you can take a photo of a cheque and pay it in.. or at least that's the theory. It only works sometimes.. so I took a cheque that wouldnt play ball into my bank and asked them to show me how its done on my phone. The assistant spent a good 15 minutes trying before giving up. Her response??? 'Well now you're here you can pay it in here anyway' Barclays bank and their app? Like my arse!
