Who is to blame them? It's his jeans, his passport, his crumpled mess.
People make mistakes. Apportioning blame isn't usually the point, unless things were deliberate, or grossly negligent. Forgetting to take your passport out of your jeans pocket isn't either. Nor is forgetting to check pockets when you put a wash in.
Weather beautiful here too. Off round next door to help my friends paint their new house.Lovely weather indeed. Off to the Red Lion for a couple of pints at lunch, will be a very unproductive afternoon... :beer:

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -

DS1 arrives home from uni yesterday. With a small suitcase of washing that all needed to be washed, dried and ironed by today!!!!!
Since arriving home yesterday and leaving for a trip abroad today he has lost his passport 3 times! He's gone now
with passport, laundered clothes and money. Due home next Wednesday with same suitcase and clothes that will again need attention within 24 hours before he heads back up north.

For reasons that were never made clear, when my brothers came home from uni my mum took all their washing off them and did it for them, but when I came home from uni I used my parents' washing machine myself.Do you know anyone who's bereaved?

OH has a theory that if you treat people nicely you can often get them to break all sorts of rules. So his answer to any problem is to first try to sweet talk people round. Sweet talking tasks this week including an online (cheap deal) MOT booked that had to be moved to a different branch of kwikfit and the date brought forward.
Then today I needed to load cash onto a pre-paid card but didn't have my passport with me for ID and managed to get it done with the promise that i will bring the passport in later.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

Also, if you are nice initially, if you need a bullet they aren't expecting it, so they get it right between the eyes.
Anyway....
