I'd like to know if you know anyone who can install one of those collapsable posts in a driveway/parking bay, to stop other cars parking there. Thanks.

I'm not convinced they exist.

Have a look here, Margaret. Installation is pretty straight forward.

Cheers Rebbonk, thanks for the link.

I might have ranted about this before, but I'm getting a bit p***ed of with the news constantly telling us we're doomed. When the news finishes, the commercial break is full of adverts telling us:

1) We're going to die, so:
1a) buy some life insurance
1b) book your funeral

2) While you're waiting to die, release some equity in your home to:
2a) buy a stair lift & mobility scooter
2b) build a conservatory & replace your garage door

3) If you have any money left:
3a) play online bingo
3b) donate the rest to charity

Its great not having a telly, Lex. I mainly just get news from the internet or news papers, I don't do that everyday though.
I will not stand for crap or the media scaremongering or telling me how to live my life, what I need or should do for the future. No thanks.

I limit myself to headlines nowadays. Can't wait to go back to working full time.

Have you tried GB news yet, Lex?

Yes, I've watched it briefly a few times. I'm not entirely convinced it's not just a cheap UK version of Fox News yet. Al Jazeera seems to be the only news channel that doesn't have an agenda at the minute.

I've been looking online for a garden planter. Didn't realise how time consuming it is to find exactly the right size and quality. I have noticed since I bought some a few years back, the prices have gone up. All I want is something to put my small rose shrub in... a tub about 3ft in height, and 2 ft. wide.
Cant find anything. well I seen something that was good on the height, but the width was stupidly small.

These any good, Margaret? linky thing

I agree about prices!

Thanks, Rebbonk, I've browsed that one.

Got sorted, with a planter for my rose shrub, on this site...https://www.bents.co.uk

They seem very helpful. From Warrington .

I'm not complaining, but...... I wan't it to rain right now!

Glad I didn't immigrate to Australia or somewhere really hot.
