    DavecUK Doram Your both wrong, buy the inconveniently sized massive bottle, and refill the small one with it.

    Great idea! And if we wait long enough, the inconveniently sized massive bottle will also shrink to a convenient size.

    i had a mars bar the other day, thought it was a miniature

      So I need some new hockey skates, been speaking to the local shop, and he confirms he has a size 8 in for me to try,

      So tonight I set off, get there

      Shops shut, the guy who runs it for the owner is playing hockey on the pad, I have to wait till he comes off for a drink, explain what I came for, “ light switch is on the wall” so I go in the shop, the size 8 is actually a size 7!, So go back to the pad, ask the guy again. “oh boxes on the shelf, should be there”

      Yeah it’s not.

      Txt the owner, oh yeah think I did sell the 8 sorry

      2hr round trip!!!!

      So when I did the back garden, I ordered one piece short.

      Here’s the pic showing how much it’s faded in 3 months.

        Cuprajake 😨

        Hope the plastic/fibre/wood is a bit more durable than whatever they used to colour it…

        By next year I have a feeling it will be white.

          When I replaced my rainwater goods the fittings, ends, angles etc came with a warning they would fade and they have though the guttering hasn’t, if I ever replace them again it will be with black or white. Today’s grr is I put my shot down on the edge of the worktop saver and over it went, never imagined 36ml would cause so much mess.

          Going all the way from Gloucester to London to visit the Spanish Consulate for a Visa appointment, only to get there and find they’ve lost it and won’t see you and the place is full of Spanish bureaucrats who are real jobsworths and can/will nothing to help you. I have to rebook and go again. Grrr.

            -Mac Seems that the government employee attitude is similar all over the world, I wonder why that is?

            A near-perfect incident

            When you make 3:30 hours round trip on a Sunday morning to check and take a delivery of 2016 Major Automatic for nothing! Looked perfect every way including a few videos of it running. The grinder looked spotless, it comes alive without beans on the hopper. The seller throws a full bag of beans. Grinds at the highest setting, switches off to go finer at the espresso setting and it won’t run anymore. They empty the hopper, open the burrs, give it a clean, run again and nothing! It won’t even run in at the coarsest setting! A few more tries were in vain! The seller was equally disappointed, surprised and didn’t want to sell until it is fixed.

            A waste of Sunday, the time and money for fuel, but saved £350 cash.

              No way, that’s so annoying

              I’ve done the same for a car, turned in to the street to find an absolute nail

                I understand not wanting to buy something faulty but were the burrs jammed?

                Exactly the same thing happened with my Super Jolly. Guy gives me a demo in the coffee shop I bought it from and I get it home, and it won’t run. Loosened the burr up and it was fine and has been ever since.

                I’m just wondering as you said the guy switched it off to go finer which would make it possible to adjust the burrs too tight which you wouldn’t do with it running as they’d chirp like crazy before it got jammed.

                  Ernie1 No Jam. It won’t even run and at coarser settings. They may come back and won’t be going again for the same piece. :-)

                  Cuprajake It is indeed. Glad I walked away and saved £350. It was supposed to be cash deal like Gumtree.

                    Ah ok, thought it was probably a silly suggestion!
