Gold FFM Colin P 722 Posted January 8 Gold FFM Report Share Posted January 8 To be fair, Hermes very much depends on the individual courier. At our last house it was a lovely lady, occasionally helped by her husband, who was absolutely brilliant and we even used to have the occasional chat if we saw her when out for a walk. At the new house the guy can't speak English, simply dumps whatever on the doorstep and cannot even be bothered to knock or ring. On Wednesday he left £300 of stuff on the doorstep where it sat for an unknown period as despite being home we didn't know it was there. One of the ladies who works for me famously had a TV delivered (in marked box - saying it was a TV) by chucking it over a 6 foot fence into the back garden in the pouring rain. Hermes themselves don't seem to give a toss, but yes, some of their contractors are very good. Anyway, my little attempt at humour seems to have taken us , so best leave it there.

The problem is that its only good at the time you take it. If you walk into a shop 30 minutes later, go get petrol etc. you may as well not have bothered.

Popular Post PaulCP 730 Posted January 8 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 8 A prime example of why the police lose respect from the law abiding general public. 3 months ago and over Christmas they did nothing, claiming they didn’t have the resources, now they’ve suddenly found those lost resources so that a few can be deployed at just one location. Is the truth of the matter that these 2 ladies spoiled the coppers’ secret coffee meeting! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If the person refuses to engage and fails what police call the "Attitude Test" i.e. are rude, then they will resort to the only thing they can do and you will be fined and the FPN sent to you. Just because you refuse to speak to an officer doesn't mean he can't charge you with an offense. Looks like you need to explain the correct approach to Derbyshire Police. They seem to have a different view and not too sure that a couple of OAP's would have been argumentative enough to warrant the big slap. Though, as it was reported by the BBC, I guess it could very well be fake news of course! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-55560814 1 Quote Alcohol. Sex. Tobacco. Drugs. Chocolate.

Thanks Andy, she already has that, plus a Gallery stocking her work and work on Artfinder. Just for everyone's info Below links to her FB page, Web Page etc. But my point is that we do 4 Art shows in Surrey and Windsor a year. On Average Wendy will sell £4000 of paintings to people who just don't buy online. That's £16,000 a year. With that out of the equation she can't go full time. BTW she has been Shortlisted for the Sire John Hurt (Yes the actor) international Art Prize.

SFO 225 Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 Has there been any research published in to the "up to 70% more transmissible" CV19 strain? I don't understand what "more transmissible" means. Is it that the virus travels quicker? Goes further? Lasts longer on surfaces? More dense? Prefers cold weather? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chillidoggy 4,461 Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 It means the possibility of becoming infected is 70% higher than the original strain. Quote Margate Exotics. Link to post Share on other sites
