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.

        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!

                  Ernie1 It is what it is! May be, what Dave stated is the issue. Not end of the world. :-)

                  I do think we the public are taken for mugs, company contact lines with 1 hour waits and phone menu systems with menu options nested 20 deep (often government ones). This one for me takes the biscuit. Just who they hell do they think they are….a queue and limited time on a website….when they constantly spam me with e-mails and offers.

                  I initially thought it must be a joke, but no! So Cassio can go fork themselves…

                    The watch world has become somewhat of an infuriating space to deal with due to trends over the past couple of years, fuelled by our friends the ‘influencers’.

                    I for one can’t wait for all the hypebeast ‘drops’ to stop and watch buying/selling can go back to how it was where people just bought watches to enjoy and not solely to flip for a profit. Thankfully prices have already started to come down from the recent insanity.

                    Casio have seen some fanfare lately due to a collab with Ed Sheeran and a video he did for Hodinkee.

                    Definitely doesn’t excuse the fact you’ve had to queue but could explain why their traffic is high at the moment.

                      I can’t stand Ed Sheeran or his music … so I’ll stay away from Casio.

                      My one regret was that my brother last year for Christmas wanted to buy a genuine Rolex. He had stage 4 colon cancer at the time. Unfortunately everything was out of stock at the time and I couldn’t help him buy one. He passed away earlier this year.

                        Firstly, sorry for your loss, that’s really sad.

                        It’s become almost impossible to buy Rolex new from Authorised Dealers. There’s a ‘waiting list’ of sorts and as a result there isn’t a single reference that’s cheaper used than new. A new Submariner is about £6k. If you want one immediately you’re looking at £10-14k on the grey market.

                        People obviously cotton on to this and so many watches are purchased with the sole intent of profiting. Meaning anyone wanting to mark a memorable occasion with a certain watch is unable to do so. It’s sad but somewhat unsurprising.

                        Same with Patek. A Nautilus is about £40k new, I’m not sure of current resale prices but you were looking at £80k for a ‘almost new’ one.

                        I tried to buy a Rolex Explorer last year, was told I’d have to wait up to two years. I ended up with two Tudors which actually turned out well as they’re fantastic.

                        Very few of the people in that Casio queue were probably buying for themselves. Rather just buying to turn a profit, stopping those who actually want to buy for themselves from accessing them.

                          Think that goes across the board, look at the niche zero when it was covd, double priced on eBay, playstation 5 the same,
