No coincidence that both DVLA and Dept of Work and Pensions Unhelpful Desks are based in Wales. The lady I spoke to in Dept W&P was however in Yorkshire at their "Overspill Centre".  Tells you all you need to know really.

Meanwhile IJT Inks have emailed a fulsome apology and dispatched a replacement item by 1st Class post.

I shall continue to chase the reluctant debtors this evening.

It took me nearly 4 hours to get to work this morning.

Rain and stupid drivers = complete standstill from N Cheam to New Malden, only about 3 to 4 miles, took 90 minutes.


Anything to do with this do you suppose?

It's better than I ever even knew.  They say that the world was built for two.  Only worth living if somebody is loving you.  Baby now you do.

I came home with the keys to the IT cabinet - I shall now have to traipse to Kingston tomorrow morning to hand them over.
Person with other set is not around tomorrow.

That's a day taken care of.

Discovery up a mountain 
After filming was complete, Jeremy, who was in a rush to get somewhere else, jumped into the filming helicopter to be whisked away to catch a flight to London from the nearest airport. It was only when he was halfway there that he realised he'd still got the Discovery keys in his pocket. Cue a quick aerial U-turn and another hover over the mountain while a suitably embarrassed Clarkson dropped the keys down to the film crew. Fortunately the noise of the chopper drowned out what they were calling him.

According to a "Survey" reported in today's Telegraph 10am on a Tuesday is the low point of the working week.

So only 30 minutes to go then.  bom




PS Looking for a link could only find this one from the Daily Mail:
