Shout out to the 116yr old compers!

I'm intrigued as to how many 116 yr old compers there are out there. Must be a few judging by the drop down D.O.B menus on a lot of the comps out there!

    I love the occasional dropdowns where you get the choice of Lord, Lady, Dr, Rev etc

    Our son registered his dad's new phone for him, and jokingly filled his name in as Sir Alan, intending to change it before actually submitting. Anyway, as you will have guessed, form got sent, with him having forgotten about the "Sir".

    Fast forward a few weeks, and we got a call from Virgin, just to check with Sir Alan that all was well, and that we were happy with the service.:rotfl: Didn't have the heart to correct the young man, but I had one very irritated husband, made worse when the kids kept calling him Sir for the next few weeks:rotfl::rotfl:

    I hate the drop-down lists of 'counties' which give a random assortment of Cities, towns and Counties and yours isn't listed. Yeah I get that a lot Mansey. Pfft.

    Yes, that's the worst! When you have to do complicated maths in your head or blooming Google maps it to see if your nearest town is Reading or Bristol! :rotfl:
