What a day!!! Just before they came from Age Uk to assess me i thought i'd charge my new jump start thingy. I went to plug it on then disaster!! One of the pins on the plug was bent, so it wouldn't fit in the socket! My thought s were "Oh no, it was frosty last night and you know what that could mean"! :unsure: I went into panic mode. Anyway, after the assessor left i went to my car expecting the worst. Thankfully it fired up without a problem! It was quite mild by then and maybe that helped. After i'd been to the shop i hang out in i drove to Halfords to ask for a replacement. They replaced it without a quibble. So i haven't even charged it up yet, never mind used it to start my car. I'm not bothered if i don't need to use it all this winter as it's just nice to have that peace of mind of it being there in case i do!!

Came home earlier today to find that my neighbour has signed for a parcel addressed to me. Strange, I thought, as I am not expecting anything.
Turns out it is a Sony PS4, with receipt in box valuing it at £295.
Thing is, I did not order it. It was sent by JD Williams in Oldham, apparently a catalogue company. I do not, and never did have, an account with them. Yet the parcel was properly addressed to me.

The only available options to contact JD Williams is via an 0345 number (which I tried but waiting times are 10 minutes, and the potential charges by Vodafone are 30 pence per minute :ohmy:).. and an 0871 number which Vodafone will not connect me to.

So here I am with a Sony PS4 of absolutely no use to me, and unable to return it. What to do?

I've ordered another palm tree and a fake Rolex watch. If they arrive at yours you will let me know and not keep them for yourself won't you?!🤔

Thinking back to the Micra i put through its paces on Wednesday, I forgot to mention the knocking sound coming from the front as I braked and the weedy sounding horn. I don't know about the knocking sound, but on trying the horn I'd say it was about half as loud as the one on my Mini.🤔

I can't remember how it works but I understand that there si some sort of scam involving having high value stuff delivered to the 'wrong' address. I seem to recall that they may offer to send someone to collect it, closely followed by someone else who demands to know why you handed it over to a 'fake' courier.

Accy, as suggested in another recent thread, have you considered a Fordson Dexta?
616964


Wind in the hair motoring, excellent all-round visibility, well proven reliability record over many decades, economical and reliable 3-cylinder Perkins diesel, six speed gearbox and plenty of low-down torque to pull your doggy pram. You could modify it to go on the three point linkage:okay:
