    But you are a grumpy auld Scottish git ;)
    Tis true I'm afraid. I have the job from hell at the moment. I work for a local authority and they are so intent on saving cash that people are being made redundant left, right and centre and somehow the workers are expected to provide the same level of service with less bodies!

    I used to enjoy my job (I have worked for this local authority for 25 years), but now the pressures are too great and the rewards too non existent that sometimes I am a bit grumpy when I get home.

    Sooooo, if I come across as grumpy sometimes, I am really sorry and I really don't mean to. Sometimes the pressures I have at work spill out into my personal life and I take it out on others..:(

    Although, saying that, some people like Dotty and a whole load of other regulars who are too numerous to mention make me smile, always. Thanks guys..:D:D

    Evening all. A well deserved drink after a busy week!

    I had a quick question for y'all- can you womble CC receipts where people have paid by card? I tried today and was refused as I couldn't present the payment card. Wondered if this is standard.
