    [quote=[Deleted User];70654191]Fair point. Decent post....

    My issues is that there are a lot of people on this forum who do the exact opposite. They are not here to offer helpful advice, they are here to criticise, start an argument for whatever reason. In fact, I'm sure people troll the forums looking for things they can disagree with and have a dig at someone.

    You can guarantee that if someone posts that "X has happened, what can I do about it?" you will get a few decent replies.

    But you'll also get "Why did you let X happen, you're stupid", "Well I do it this way you shouldn't have done that", "In your first post, you mentioned X and now its Y - are you lying?, "Why are you always moaning?, "You should have done this last time when Z happened (post from 6 months ago". Tell me I'm wrong.....

    I might create a fictional problem later to demonstrate this. Something "accidental" where maybe something has been done wrong and ask for advice then watch the wolfpack descend. [/QUOTE]


    I'd consider that an action of a troll. What does it say about you if you are considering it?

    Did your wife get her "emergency"day paid for?.
    I noticed that you seemed to spend a lot of your employers time on here the other day?

    I think that the cleaner, who you thought had stolen your Son's Headphones, was working at the Hotel you visited and will be spotted on the CCTV!!!!!!
    She probably supplements a meagre wage selling stolen Headphones.

    I've managed to leave my phone and camera in all sorts of places and had them returned every time

    Agreed. I slipped over in the snow a few years back and a £2800 camera lens dropped out of my camera bag into the snow without me noticing. I realised what had happened about an hour later when I got home. I hot-footed it back to where I'd fallen over but couldn't find any sign of the lens. I assumed I had seen the last of it.

    Reported it to the police and got a call from them about an hour later saying that someone had found it and handed it in to the local post office to hold on to.

    I love village life...

    Wow £2800. Bet you were pretty relieved.
