It's interesting that septic tank men are often really charming people. I wonder if that's because they see we all produce the same stuff whatever else we Do?

My advice to people facing difficult interview panels is to imagine them all sitting on the loo.

Congrats on having a healthy biodisc, LIR.

I don't have a poop man, but I did receive a bowel cancer testing kit through the post - what my BIL termed a 5hit-kit. The difference is that I used mine and got an all-clear, whereas he hasn't used his. Where's the smug smiley?

What did you do to get one of those?

Just got back from 3 great days' holiday here. MSE'ers will be pleased to know that our wedding anniversary coincides with the 35% off period! It's our one big treat of the year, as we don't really go in for exotic foreign holidays.

We love the walking round there and in the grounds. Yesterday, we did 8 miles, which is not too bad for a couple of unfit old fogeys.

Congratulations on a healthy bowel! Even more joyous than a healthy poop tank I think.

Hi MissK, sorry I did not reply earlier, but I've been away (somewhere nice)

GDB, Can you describe it even if you cannot say where?

As they are displaying the West Sussex 'Buy With Confidence' logo, I suggest that we all give appropriate negative comments. I just have! Here:

I have just sent them my disapproval at the treatment given to one of our Forum friends by one of South Downs Car Sales staff and gave the company negative comments as well.

Well done, looks like a great place. I've just looked it up and it's very good value at those prices for DB&B

For a moment I thought Bertie had posted up a couple of piccies from his sales particulars...

First, the Southdowns website says that their cars are warranted, and the warranty details on their website cover the battery. Did they give you a policy when you bought the car? If so, you presumably need to deal direct with the insurers.

I read it as the battery was specifically excluded....
