Oh SmileyT,
Have a virtual hug. Sadly, there are some horrible people in the world as we know.
I see that you've edited your post so now everyone will wonder what you said but I'll leave my comment even though I have edited my response too."A government afraid of its citizens is a Democracy. Citizens afraid of government is tyranny!" ~Thomas Jefferson

Oh (((Smiley))) what a rotten thing to do! But I bet not aimed at you just some selfish idiot could not be bothered to get rid of their carp properly, so please try not to take it to heart - all sorted now, you have dealt with it. Have a bit of a weep and get it out of your system, have a lovely doggy cuddle and a cup of tea - or Nursey will have to come and dispense some 'tough' love, and you don't want that!Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures0

I'd said originally much the same as you Mrs Chip(so you must have seen what happened too)
I think anyone could have been chosen so I doubt it was specifically aimed at Smiley but upsetting just the same..."A government afraid of its citizens is a Democracy. Citizens afraid of government is tyranny!" ~Thomas Jefferson

(((hugs))) Smiley for whatever horrible carp has happened. Some people just aren't very nice.
My first attempt at gooseberry jam about to happen. I'm actually a bit nervous! What do you think about gooseberry glitter jam? I have lots of edible glitter and these are for xmas hampers. I can't stand gooseberries myself so I won't be able to tell if it's nice or not.0 -
Possession,
I love to be able to tell you what to do:) but I have not eaten gooseberries in years and though not bad in the kitchen I have never made jam/marmalade and I guess being single it's easier for me to buy it!"A government afraid of its citizens is a Democracy.

I was given a kilo of gooseberries by a friend at the weekend and I didn't like to say I didn't like them.
But they will be fine as jam in the hampers, and since I only pay for the sugar (which I already have), cheap too.

I've been looking around for cheaper internet deals and because of where I live I can't tap into any of the super offers out there
So I called BT all nicey nice and somewhat dim sounding (I'm not I know exactly what I'm being charged for and why
I average 9-15 gb usage of internet per month (I knew that too) and have been overcharged £5 a month as I have 10gb limit. A limit I was going over. "Oh, Mrs F, you're on the wrong plan. How about I give you the 40gb per month (yes! I'll keep well in that...how is this going to cost then?) "and that will be chargable at the slightly cheaper rate of £10.25 (25p ) per month" How does that sound?" Oh lovely.
Now one thing... I was never on the wrong plan. I was on the cheapest plan according to my usage and you were once charged £1 a gb over only if you went over your usage for 2 consecutive months, something which I never did. That all changed and it's obvious as to why I want to leave them. So I guess they've moved the goal posts for me to keep me. Anyway, you don't have to be bolshy to get people to help youand the best thing is I couldn't get broadband any cheaper anywhere anyway so I feel like it's been a bit of a result.
