Harsh glad you understand that I'll need to sleep and do no jobs tomorrow in order to help regain some (0.000001%) of youthfulnessYou need it
Even more fun, either the floor or walls are all on a very consistent slope. To match the centre of the uprights each panel needs to lean by around a cm so nothing matches up!Trying to fix the shed, it now appears it was built using a mix of imperial and metric panels. Mine are imperial and halfway through I just realised I no longer line up with the frame.
Who the hell mixes sizes mid build!
Did you get anything? The beef straws sounded tasty.

If only you'd wanted a funeral !Driven 18 miles in sh1te traffic for nothing!
Got email with Co-op dividends earned , and money-off coupons. Drove miles to nearest store the other side of Worcester .....showed an employee my card on entry , asked if it was same Co-op and could I use that card "Yes"
Filled basket with stuff I wouldn't have normally bought, to use dividend & coupons up as no Co-ops nearer so not planning to go again ....... "Can't use that here, we're a different group". So shopping went back on the shelves !
Rang Central England head office to find out where exactly I could use it around here........ "Afraid there aren't any south of Cannock/ Solihull anymore. We sold them all off. We retained the Funeral services branches, but all the food stores were aquired by mid-counties".
Account will go inactive after a while if not used , so got to ring them to re-activate if we ever plan a trip up north again to spend the dividend!
I still remember my mums divi number from the Stafford & Stone Co-operative Society.If only you'd wanted a funeral !
We knew where we were with the Stafford and Stone Co-operative Society fifty years ago.
Tamworth still has its own one.
Founded in 1886, the Tamworth Co-operative Society is one of the town’s best-loved and most iconic businesses. Today’s Society covers Staffordshire, Derbyshire, North Warwickshire and the West Midlands with a supermarket, 11 convenience stores and eight funeral service locations. We also operate four post offices. Annual turnover exceeds £25m.
I don't think it quite "covers" those four counties, more has a presence in them.
It is the modern way*.I once interviewed someone who wanted to do a panel beating apprenticeship with us. Even though this person had never beaten a panel in their life, they spent their entire time telling our two panel guys, who between them have 70 years experience, that they would be able to do so much better than them and who expected to be doing hands on work on a DB4 we had in for renovation at the time, within his first week and would be able to improve upon the original design!
By contrast our current apprentice is a great girl shaping up to be worth her weight in gold and I'll be having to dig deep to keep her once she has got her qualifications.
