Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
Our dishwasher decided to die 3 days after we decided to end the extended warranty. I mean what's the chance of that.
On a good note with Smartcare we'll get a new one at a good discounted price.

Inanimate objects will always know the best time to break down in order to annoy the human race. Always pays to be as sneeky as they are.
My dishwasher needs a new part been waiting 6 months and even though it's on the extremely urgent list we have been informed it could still be another six months. I hate the NHS system as much as I love the dedicated staff. At least we have a high stool on which my dishwasher can perch which means he isn't totally out of action. <<Jo wanders off sighing>>

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
I've just spent 45 frustrating minutes on the phone to our bank. We do online banking and my little black security fob(?) has stopped working. It is used to key in numbers to open the account. One of the Bank's telephone operators didn't even know what I was talking about, and sayed my details didn't match, I had given bank account number, names of the account, the type of account and numerous other details, then I saw red and said I wanted to complain. After repeatedly answering the same questions I finally got someone who helped. They were asking questions like what transaction diid I do on 30th October, they didn't understand I couldn't answer because I couldn't access my account.

Sorry to hear about your problems Tinky with your bank as l ruddy hate phoning up our bank when there is a problem as one gets passed from pillar to post usually before eventually it is sorted out..

It's good stuff. You will not freeze during the winter.

Calcium chloride is often used for de-icing or dust control on gravel roads, in food or as the absorbing agent in desiccants. In much of the world, calcium chloride is derived from limestone as a by-product of the Solvay process. Calcium chloride can also be obtained from brine purification.

CFR § 205.605 The following nonagricultural substances may be used as ingredients in or on processed products labeled as “organic” or “made with organic (specified ingredients or food group(s))”
(a)(7) Calcium chloride.
So blame your government.

My moan is why do you keep deleting the title of the thread from your replies, you are the only person that does this and have done it several times lately?
