Re: One good turn deserves a smack in the mouth.
 

There is usually a sign somewhere that says "all cars parked at owners risk", and dont get me started about people who don't put their trolley back, I once found myself shouting at a bloke who just dumped his trolley blocking a parking space and he was 10 strides away from a trolley park. I had to stop it, as it was becoming an obsession.

No he's not! But the next time he is you're on the list mate! Blatant, unadulterated, Scouscism that! :s_aim1:

I know the feeling Dave, some swipe had my trims away from the car outside our house (here in Germany I hasten to add!). Spoke to Ford here & I was looking at €40,00 per trim, it really is galling when stuff like that happens.

Re: One good turn deserves a smack in the mouth.
 

I had a slight problem at a cash register earlier this week, I purchased an Item for £19.99p and gave them a £20 note, The lady handed me my change and receipt.

It was only when I got out of the store and checked, she had given me £10.01p change.
I returned to the store and queued at the same till, when I got to her I said that she had given me the wrong change.
"Did you leave the store?" she asked in a very loud voice. (She knew I had her register is next to the door). "Well, yes", was my reply. A gleeful sort of smile crossed her face as in the same loud voice she firmly told me, "Sorry Sir, corrections cannot be made once you've left the store". "Well thank you", I replied in an equally loud and happy voice, "I reckon I can get about three pints out of the tenner you've so generously given me". I turned around and left the store.

Anyway he should have known it wasnt you, it was only half a job. A true scouser such as you Dave would have had the wheels as well:D:D
And to be serious Davemc ,he will get his some day somehow it will happen.

Re: One good turn deserves a smack in the mouth.
 

Dave,
why dont you put cable ties around your trims and keep a pair of plyers in the boot incase you break down?

Re: One good turn deserves a smack in the mouth.
 

Dav you missed Neils reply...

Well. That is quite an amazing story dave. A good deed often goes unrewarded. When I was 12 years old me and my friend found a TV and video player just sat there on electricity street. Being closer to his house we took them there and his parents called the police. The day after the owners came and picked them up as they had been burgled. Aparrently we never got any thanks and they was quite rude his mother had told me. That same year they went on holiday at Christmas and was burgled themselves :(

Maybe I should have started a nw thread entitled "A sandwich short of a buffet"

Saturday night in the Forts Arms in full swing, 60th birthday part in the back room and main bar lively celebrating one of the regulars 35th birhday.
9:30 and Linda West brings round from home a birthday buffet as she is wont to do. Great quiches, cheese pies and two massive trays of sarnies.
Me concentrating on what new real ales are on the bar engaged in conversation with landlord Darren... whoosh exit stage right from Darren and the hulabaloo goes up "two scrotes have nicked a tray of sandwiches"
I go out behind 4 or 5 lads who saw it happen and have given hot pursuit to see one of the miscreants pinned to the floor on Grange Street by 2 regulars and an off duty copper who just happened to be driving past. Lots of kicking and screaming from scrote #1 and attempts to bite the copper. Scrote #2 nowhere to be seen.
Now I don't know what is categorised as reasonable force but it looked OK to me with two 15 stone lads sitting on him until the paddy wagon arrived. He'll be flippin' sore this morning, I'm sure I heard his wrist crack during the melee as he tried to bite the PC.
Copper says they lock him up and kick him out of the cells early morning probably with out charge. Two Rishtoners evidently.
Dimship was heard to say "We only did it as a joke" Well the rats and early morning dogs out walking will have had a feast on Linda's butties because the scrotes had thrown them into the bushes alongside Mercer Park.
Ho Hum and fiddle de dee.

Par fer the course, Justice is a joke, No wonder many, including me have no respect fer the Law.:rolleyes::mad:

Re: One good turn deserves a smack in the mouth.
 

I seem to recall reading somewhere - possibly on uk.legal.noderated - that if a retailer provides parking for which an overstay charge is threatened, then they are obliged to take responsibility for what happens in that car park. I'll see if I can locate it...
