Just found out my Dainese touring pants are falling apart, fabric just tore open near some seams. Pretty disappointed, bought them in the end of 2021, and they have no more than 4 or 5 thousand kms. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catteeclan Posted Sunday at 18:06 Share Posted Sunday at 18:06 Went out a got some shopping she'd forgotten and dumped the excess of empty bottles we'd accumulated, that is all. Sat here and done nothing. Pisses me off when I look back as I'm not normally a lazy basted but I'm still sitting here and now got a bottle of wine open. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted Sunday at 20:40 Share Posted Sunday at 20:40 Went up to the Dainese outlet and somehow now solved my pants problem by buying something with gore tex, plus my first ever pair of proper touring boots. I’m used to more casual boots more like work boots with proper leather and stitched soles. Hopefully this’ll feel better in the proper winter and rain. Will leave my rain gear at home, and that’ll free some space in the right case. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the meter has been replaced the boiler engineer can come and fix the boiler, but not before. Our main problem (at the moment) is someone that wife is talking to does not have a clue (it seems) what they are talking about.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he would pass on our number to the relevant department, and they would ring us very soon.... over 1 hour later, nothing. Yeh, Scotish Powers on line reviews are damning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted Monday at 16:17 Share Posted Monday at 16:17 Excuse my moaning. It's getting beyond a joke now, Cadent came this morning, did the checks, Meter is buggered, they told us that it was Scotish Powers responsibility to provide and install a new meter. Scotish Power has just rung and says its Cadents job to supply and fit a new meter, we are getting absolutely fucking nowhere, Day 4, and looks like another (if we are lucky) 5 to 7 days before anything is resolved......... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our MP (Steve Yemm) is one useless tosser...see quite often on his FB page people saying "I emailed you several weeks ago, no reply" We need something doing in the next couple of days (at the most) as living like this is fucking miserable. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The meter is the responsibility of the utility provider, as is the connection between the intake head and the meter. The box/ housing is your responsibility as can be the back board. If the utility provider is telling you different they are a bunch of lying shysters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
