And he didnt have a second card!!!! Why are you slumming it with these council types CC?

He hadn't taken his whole wallet with him because apparently "it's too heavy"....

Ahahahaha! ( first ever rofl for me on PH! )

Edit: How far was it to Fortnum & Mason's, and do they accept AMEX cards? If so, why? Surely that is scraping the bottom of the barrel?

I thought that was quite normal? I usually select a couple of cards that I might need, and leave my wallet at home for the same reason.
Actually, I can see how that could sound very first world problem.

One of my flatmates - a real go-getter of a business student - walked in today and announced he'd had to leave his shopping at the counter in Lidl, because it turns out they don't take Amex cards.
I suspect he's the only person to ever to try paying with an Amex card in Lidl

he's clearly a tool for not getting an American Express that comes with a Visa partner card for just this type of eventuality.

They couldn't clear my brown bin this week as the leafs had frozen inside due to the cold weather, now I have no empty bin for the gardener who comes later today.

Our council has suspended green waste collection for a few weeks - we only get 2 pesky bags (no bin) for £2500pa - having to take the garden waste to the dump for the gardener.

Proper 1WP.

[Blown2CV]

our gardener gathers up all the waste and takes it all to the tip in one hit at the end of the season. So it doesn't affect our green bin, but it does mean i have one or two of those unsightly massive builder refuse sacks at the bottom of the garden for like 2 months a year.

Sounds like you need to construct a ha-ha.

(It's a real thing)

Can't work out how to retune the digital TV in the Jag, and don't have the instruction manual to hand. Stuck with a couple of ITV channels, Quest (not too bad if something interesting is on) and a few of the QVC-esque channels.

Can't reach the volume buttons on the Sonos Play in the lounge on top of Bookcase.
Had to buy another Play to pair with it in the lounge that I can reach the buttons on.

You can change the volume via your smartphone app. No need to touch the buttons.

Just got a new 55" 4K TV. Got to get the old one off the wall and the new one into it's place.

The archetypal 1WP is when one of the ponies belonging to a Cheltenham Ladies' college pupil (daughter of a powerfully built director with goatee) jumps into the outdoor swimming pool. Even bigger if it's the indoor pool.

Should this not be in the Council thread?!

A fresh crusty loaf and a big old slab of butter. A good old fashioned bread and butter sandwich - what could go wrong? Well, the loaf isn't symmetrical and I buttered the similar sides not the facing sides. It is the untidiest sandwich ever with huge areas of overlap.

Woe, woe and thrice woe.



I still ate it.

We have bought too many baubles for our 3 Christmas trees - we'll now have to go out and buy another tree just to fit them all on.

Problem is - I don't have anywhere to put another tree - so we are going to have to extend the house

We've run out of sea salt and will have to use ordinary table salt until the shop opens.

My sons are concerned which of our chimneys Santa is going to come down.

OH has forgotten to buy brandy cream. We now only have 1 litre of cream and 1 litre of custard to last 3 of us until the 27th.
