So hopefully we have survived yesterdays torrential rain without any flooding?
We are high up in our village so don't get a problem. I felt so sorry for those who were desperately trying to keep water out of their homes!

They shouldn't have done what they did - it's time they started with the adverts! I'm not a lover of them but I love my money more!

Just in the process of renewing my home contents insurance, I got a renewal letter saying the premium had gone DOWN by £2 {steady on!}.

Was renewing it and got a text from them saying they don't have my payment details, I have spent over 2 days trying to speak to a human to give them my card details but all I get is a robotic answering machine that doesn't ask the right questions so I tried the online messaging and after asking me about a dozen questions after I sent a simple "Can I give you my card details" his side went quiet so I gave up. I just whisked off a don't bother message this morning to them because I've now gone elsewhere.

That's exactly what I was going to suggest ! They obviously don't want your custom!

So then..........Suing Auntie for a billion dollars, if he gets it, and signs say he would that means every bodies t.v. licence will go up drastically for the next couple of years.

According to what I've read he's sued people since becoming president and his bank account is rumoured to have swelled by 80 million dollars already.

Does anyone know why Duckmanton hill has been closed. Apparently it's going to be shut for a while.
Why they had to close it from Arkwright r/about I do not know. We go to Crystal Peaks at least once a week and we now have to go via Calow & Brim Common, not the easiest of roads to get through especially with all the extra traffic, and coming back the queue through Brim was as far back as Troughbrook bottom.

I usually go to the council dump once a fortnight now I can't get near.
