BC Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Having had new specs just before going on holiday I was most annoyed when I had them knocked of my nose when my tailgate kicked back. Result was a scratch across the operative lens. Today I went off to the opticians to get a replacement lens ordered and guess what... ...they are giving me a FREE replacement lens! (No, Bill, not Costco!) I haven't had a claim on glasses from Costco...well yet Sue ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Today after taking mum and dad shopping to Morrison's and getting 6p off per litre of fuel if you spent over £40 in the store. I was requiring fuel anyway so I filled up with 55.02 litres and got the discount of £ 3.30 and that meant the cost per litre was £ 1.3090 or £ 5.95 per gallon...I can't remember when I put fuel in this year less than £ 6 a gallon so that did please me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leakeyvale Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 Having discovered my MOT was due to expire on 31st August I called, in desperation, an independent motor service business in Andover. "We are very busy since Approach went to the wall but bring your car down by 8:00 on Saturday morning and we will do the MOT and service for you." Now that is what I call customer service and they do not even know me. They even drove me home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leakeyvale Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 Today I sat down and watched the DVD of "Sitting Bull" 1954 film that I saw as a child. Well I may be getting old but my memory cannot be that bad as the film was exactly as I remembered it and what is more I actually enjoyed watching it. One disappointment was that one very memorable scene in the opening sequence was missing altogether but considering the fairly obvious fact that it was taken from a deteriorated celluloid reel (there were bad links in places where the film had been joined and the end was abrupt with no cast list) it was not to be wondered at. Some of it was a bit corny (Hollywood type corn) but I expected the entire thing to turn out to be a bad "B" movie which it was not. I suspect it got a bad panning from the critics in the fifties because George Custer was not portrayed as a hero - quite the opposite - and it was relegated to Saturday Morning Pictures and the supporting "B" slot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) I was pleased to hear my new car is is Aberdeen and the registration plate transfer has been done so it will be on the road for October 1....can't wait after a 6 month wait.

Leakeyvale Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 Patience is a virtue, Bill. It grows as you get older but so does the pleasure when the wait is over. I hope the new car is everything you wish for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
