Anyone got any experience of rebuffing PCN for driving down a road in London which apparently doesn’t allow vehicles or bikes (didn’t even see the sign!) I’ve been charged £160 by Hackney council. 
 

Any tips on challenging?

There's a thread on the mse forum, loads of info and advice on there for parking fines, imagine there may be similar for your situation too

Went to the doctor's Monday afternoon to book an appointment, offered various within the next 3 days. Now have a next day blood test.

 

Think we must be lucky with our surgery.

No, I've found getting appointments much smoother and with better options in the last year.

I have a colleague who does not speak, been sat opposite me for nearly 2 years and not heard her say a word. I had to ask her a question yesterday, she smiled and giggled then ignored me. The run continues.

Aha I remember you mentioning this a while ago. Does she speak to other people?!

Nobody! I dunno what she does all day but is nose to the grindstone everyday from 08.59-17.00. Lunch from 13.00-13.59 everyday. Which begs another question, in whatever her job is how does she never have meetings out of these hours and how does her work end at exactly 17.00 EVERYDAY. Why is she never sick, drunk, hungover, on hols or wfh? She occasionally giggles to other people when they make small talk with her (‘isn’t the weather simply awful’) but that’s it.

I've got this coworker who never shuts up and watches everything I do from 8:59 to 17:00. How does he get any real work done? Why/how is he being paid?  Is he paid to watch me? Little does he know I pissed in the office coffee pot and giggled at him when he tried to make small talk whilst having said Java.

 

Tosser!

Have you ever tried to strike up conversation with her? Or spoken to other colleagues to find out what she may do? 

 

Is she an imaginary friend of yours

Leicester fans pronouncing our players’ names wrong always cracks me up.

 

The caller on RL who said “Okoli” like ‘broccoli’ is my latest favourite.

I can just picture the type - 50+, meat and 2 veg for tea, get a paper each morning, a selection of white british friends/allies. There's loads of them about and think mango chutney is exotic.

As if everyone below 40 is expert in foreign languages and completely well rounded

[bovril]

I actually have no idea how to pronounce it but to be honest Okoli like "broccoli" instinctively sounds more correct than Uh-koh-leee in a broad Leicestershire accent.

The travel infrastructure from my way is a complete joke. 

 

Heading into Leicester for the Tigers game and it will have taken me 2 hours minimum to get into the city from just outside Whitwick. I could get to Dublin in that time.

Not at all relevant but my brother got a slow cooker for Xmas so he's been branching out with his cooking and making stews, with my mums assistance. 

 

Bring on my mum raging at me the next day that he doesn't even have pepper in his house. Never mind anything else you'd want in a stew. 

 

And then the next week my brother exclaimed to me that he's discovered the best thing ever to bring his stews into a new extra world class category. The oxo stockpot. 

 

He's 44 ffs.

 

How can you have a worlds worth of herbs and spices and condiments at your local supermarket and never think to try any of them?!

I'd check your sat nav, I drive to the city from Whitwick and it only takes me 30 minutes....
