Makes walking across fields rather hazards... especially if you fall in the wrong position!People farm knobs around your way, Peter? Extraordinary. It's mostly arable around here, quite a few sheep.

I might say the same about the sheep.Makes walking across fields rather hazards... especially if you fall in the wrong position!
I was always told that that is the correct way to do it to avoid creaky floors.Fool that put down the floors in the extension here, glued and screwed the chipboard.
When I did need to lift some I thought great it’s screwed down, then it all got very messy and time consuming
And another townie moving to the country and complaining about the sounds of country life!Knob farmer decided to trim the hedges at 06:00 today with his tractor and cutter... GF not happy, but I was already working.
Started in my local village 2 miles away.We have Dorset Knobs here, as a local speciality. There is even the famous Knob throwing competition (similar to how Gloucestershire has its cheese chasing event). But our Knobs are baked, rather than farmed.

Exactly the same happened to me last year with swinton. Was paying £600 ish and my renewal was around £1100. Went online and they where quoting around £450 with the cheapest at £350 with Churchill. When I phoned them up they said they would look and see if they could match the Churchill quote. My response was don’t bother even if it’s less than Churchill you have tried to blatantly rip me off. Like you say Andy how many people just auto renew and get ripped off. Boils my pi55 it does.Oh and I nearly forgot as I need to get this off my chest. Bloody, fecking, cheating, swindling, knob jockeys that are car insurance companies.......Had my renewal through yesterday by email. Now I claimed in 2019 so my no claims dropped to 3 years and up went my premium.
2020 premium was £430 for me Mercedes doing 22k a year. So with another years no claims bonus this year was looking forward to seeing this go down.....not a fecking chance....This years premium £578....WHAT THE FECK.
Went on line put my details in and cheapest quite £341 so £237 cheaper........but.... The cheapest quote was from my insurance company....Robbing b4astards. I notice they also have an auto renewal which I would worry about if it was someone like my be parents who are getting on in life and may no pick up in this and end up paying more than they should. They will be getting a call today and I feel they deserve a pull through with a Christmas tree. Feckers.... Rant over.
Morning all. No reason to be up this early, but there it is.
Spent an excellent day yesterday sorting out my desk and re-running all the cables.

That desk's really weird, Mark. Where's all the shite and the upturned coffee cups with mould crawling across them?My desk:

....still a bit of work to do, then.....
My parents live pretty much in the middle of nowhere, noisiest place in the world. If it’s not the sheep it’s the bloody birds tweeting at 4am. Give me a nice traffic hum any day!
