im sick of the dammed seagulls attacking everybody going uo wor street . I rang the cooncil twice and the pest control man said they couldnt do nowt as seagulls are a protected species AND its an expensive business getting rid of them .they were swooping right down on the kids going to school but it seems children are not a protected species . I never realised that gulls were so few that they needed protecting !!!

Seagulls first, Rats with wings.

How can they be protected because they're rare?

Put a ladder near your roof and dozens of them appear, and it's even worse if you shoot one ( I believe). Hundreds of mourners appeared!

We tried to get our gutters cleaned out, fine in one area, but in another it was like a scene from Hitchcock.

But oddly enough, they all go away at the same time, just a shame that they come back.

And they sh!t all over our vans when their clean - they don't bother all week, and if we clean them on a Saturday they've been targeted by Sunday morning.

At Dunbar, there is a £ 50 fine if you feed the seagulls, why can't we do that? Perhaps the Civil (sic) Enforcement Officers could be deployed?

A visiting rep got shat on outside, squarely on his bald spot. I offered him some toilet roll. What use is that ? he said. It'll be miles away by now........



Weather, I can only assume that its local showers. Local to where I am!
We went away three weeks ago, the place had had brilliant weather all week, by half past two on the day we were there, things were getting flooded.
I went to the North East on Thursday. On Tuesday and Wednesday folk were out in there gardens. Thursday rain like star rods, severe fog.

Just to warn you - don't go to Scarborough in the middle of August, but I bet you Berwicks bari!

seagulls are protected by the countryside and wildlife act

[boozysuzi]

LOL !!!
just found out that one ofthe neighbours is feeding the bloody gulls and its his kids that were getting swooped on the other day----idiot !!!

will be avoiding Scarbie in aug at all costs then !!!

Self service checkouts, an express service to save us time. Or just cut staff costs?

Surely opening more staffed checkouts would be as quick? and the witty and informative chat with the staff would enhance our overall personal shopping experiences.

You buy a bottle of wine, or some cans, (or some wine AND some cans), and you're made to feel like an alcoholic while some condescending supervisor says, well I don't need to check your age do I? It's like being in the stocks while the waiting queue glares at you. He has Drink. Do I really look like Father Jack from Father Ted.

And theres always somebody there who's never used it before / has forgotten something / is disputing a price / has a wrinkled fiver that the machine won't accept / cannot understand English.

We never had this at Walter Wilsons.

im feared to use them because i always get the urge no to scan something.

A wumin at the asda post office boiled me yesterday, standing yackin while the que got bigger and bigger, were we all invisible to you you ignorant %$£^%*%&......and then it cost 60 wing for a stamp! 60 wing!!
And cupboard doors hiding the fags now! gie me strength!

Allan Shearer using the word 'but' three times in every sentence.

The dentist when he says everything's fine, i'll just give them a polish....kerching!

When you order fish and chips at Morrisons and your wifes fish is twice the size as yours.

lol i don't like the self sevice tills coz i always have to get assistance

i was in tesco the other morning and the only tills open was the self service so i had to use them
must be short staffed

yesterday afternoon at asda post office a man putting £2 on the lottery then he produced about 15 tickets and asked the girl to check them for winners . such a shame he didnt win a penny but by the time hed faffed on about 6 people queued up behind me (and 2 in front of is ) could he no check them hissel on internet or the paper !!!!!

[grumpy]

i was behind a woman last week and she spent £61 on lottery tickets, hope she won something

[grumpy]

that's nearly a weeks shopping for some folk
she was either very rich or very desperate

[boozysuzi]

£2 a week for me--thats it !!!

[tweedsider]

Tesco, that's a thing.

Go in after half past eight, and you struggle to get to the shelves for the big trolleys lined up in the aisles for replenishing the stock. Quarter to Ten and the lights go off and the checkouts shut - everything you buy at the self service checkout is scrutinised by a supervisor.

Why bother being open?

Earlier in the night, and the place is full of Eastern Europeans, especially the cheap to clear area.

Other times, you spend an age putting all your messages on the conveyor, no offers of help. You go in to buy a pint of milk; "Do you want a hand to pack?"

And folk that stand for ages reading Papers, Magazines, or Books, stopping you from getting in to buy one.
I watched one chap last week, when I went in, he was reading a book, Thirty minutes later still reading it!
He might have been there longer, but I got sick of watching him, and thought I better get the shopping done.

that would be j hot dog waiting for the asparagus tips to be reduced
