Barnet,
Good morning all fellow wheezers.
A bright start to the day weather wise here in Hertfordshire.
I'm on my second mug of tea whilst I contemplate my day ahead.
After a long dog walk, I shall be out on the bike running some errands and calling in at the local grocers, and today I will try to get a haircut. Monday's attempt was abandoned due to the heavy rain that fell all day.:rain::rain:
I might even treat myself to a pint or two of ale in the Mitre at lunchtime. :cheers:
Living the dream :cuppa:

On the subject of bills, anyone else have trouble with water companies? I know it depends where you live, I'm having constant billing issues with Yorkshire Water. Spoke to them last year because my monthly bill went up by quite a lot and re-negotiated with them down to £45 a month. This year it came down to £38, a bit dubious but ran with it. Now got an amended bill at £51, a £13 a month increase. I told them last year I expected £40-£45 as an average but they obviously didn't listen, but guess I was proved to be right as £38 wasn't enough. :hyper:

I assume you are on a water meter?.

£40+ / month sounds a lot. We are Northumbrian Water area. 4 bed detached house, two people living in it. Connected to mains drainage. £17/month.

We don’t take any specific water saving measures, other than collecting rainwater, to water garden, with just very occasional use of a sprinkler.

Morning folks ^_^ Feeling a tad annoyed about the missing parts....how could a bike be sent out missing handlebar stem, pedals and now ive noticed there isnt any front wheel nuts [quick release]. Makes me wonder if bikes are being punted out with missing parts to keep the cash flow going. ...hmm they better sort it or i'll slag'em off in every bike forum i can find. youtube n'all!:becool:

That's terrible. They should be ashamed of themselves.

First time I only skim read this post and spotted wheel nuts, second time I read it properly.

That's disgraceful. Wheel nuts I think could be argued as a genuine error but possibly highlights a quality control issue. I say possibly because I know from my previous w*** life any QC can go wrong.

Your list suggests a complete oversight on QC for your order. I'd be astonished if a reputable company is shipping bikes without pedals and stems.
