    You know, sometimes I think I'm paranoid, then my precautions are needed...
    • British Gas don't believe my final meter reading. Lucky I took a picture of the gas meter with that day's paper in the shot then - isn't it?
    • A supplier on Amazon claiming they read their description with different words to what I do. Lucky I took a screenshot then...

    Luckily Northumbrian Water came up trumps with a prompt £30 refund. Of course I'd taken a photo of the water meter as well... :whistle:

    Wise man.
    when that woman (not Monica Lewinsky) reversed into me, the first thing I did was take a snap of the scene.

    The good old days were when we weren't allowed to wear trousers to school and when my friend couldn't train to become a pilot with the RAF. It was great!

    Yes, somebody I worked with, didn't - and paid the price...

    And then sepia died out, and we all went black-and-white.
