What is hacking you off today?

[Mad Cyril]

Just walked round to the post office to post a couple of parcels, and it struck me that I really don't understand why people have driveways that are made up of shingle or chippings. It all ends up all over the path and going into the road! Makes it difficult to walk on sometimes too, especially when you're still going a bit gingerly because of the broken leg earlier this year!

There is a place on Benfleet Road that went for white gravel and the entire area looks like it has been hit by a hailstorm.

Looked awful from day one which is strange because most home improvements in that area are so tasteful and well thought out.

That's what happens if you don't keep it shut.

Just the kneecaps or the whole knee?

Yes, the same with one of my neighbours driveway. He's put gravel down loose, so after 2 weeks parking, it's everywhere on the pavement and on the road. Absolutely clueless not to use a binder or resin, that glues it together, protects it, and gives it a nice shine, and keeps it solid to drive and park on.

The one that has just had a full refurb, not far from Ron's on the opposite side? I know what you mean, currently back on the market.

SUFC’s new club shop website not doing international deliveries. You’d think a company the size of Macron (especially given that they’re Italian…) could handle it.

Deliver the kit to the Zone and you can forward it on!

New customs rules re goods from the UK to the EU came into force July 1 resulting in additional costs at both ends, plus more form filling. I was charged €5 to receive a package containing a small gift which took three weeks to arrive from the UK to Latvia and the sender had to pay much more than before. One of the consequences of Brexit that were not mentioned in that 'oven ready' deal. Minor inconvenience for the individual, but serious setbacks for businesses and trade in general.

Thanks Kay, appreciate it. Vaccine and travel rules dependent I may be back for a few days early next month so going to wait and see what happens with that but may drop you a message if not.

Been in self isolation since Saturday, testing myself everyday, nothing, not so much as a sniff. Double jabbed can come in from just about anywhere in the world but I can't go to work ALONE in a lorry under threat of a £3000 fine.

What a complete bag of bollocks.

The rules seem to lack any logic or consistency. Are you at least still being paid?

That's ridiculous. All it will lead to is rule-abiding people being punished and people evading the covid controls. You'd have thought that after 18 months they'd have sorted this out. Hope you're at least enjoying your holiday at home.
