Argos

 

 

Success!
Following the post of yesterday, there was an exchange of comments with “Argos Helpers”, which, initially, caused some concern.
Hi John, I am very sorry for the problems that you have experienced with your order. I have just spoken with the courier and your cooker is out for delivery today and the driver will contact you before he delivers. Charlotte
  • John Yates. We are just leaving for a hospital appointment. He can deliver and install tomorrow or late this afternoon. (after 3:00pm). Please confirm
  • Argos. Your delivery is the fourth drop of the day so hopefully this may be after 3pm but
  • Argos. I can not guarantee this. If you are not available for delivery today then the courier will call you to re book the delivery. Charlotte



Just as I was muttering “Oh dear. Another day passes without our delivery. Oh dear”, or words to that effect, our telephone rang.
A voice on the other end of the line, announced that he would be delivering and installing our cooker in half an hour!
True to his promise, the man from the Argos contractor arrived within the specified time, installed the new cooker, checked that it worked properly, and disappeared up the road out of the village taking our old cooker with him.
We were only marginally late for the appointment.
This whole story has been a catalogue of phone calls, Blog postings, Facebook and Twitter messages and a very large helping of frustration, certainly on my part, but I would like to thank “Argos Helpers” in the form of Tina, Drew, Clem, Charlotte, Neal (and any others which I may have missed) for their assistance (and perhaps even their frustration) in resolving this saga.
Readers may be pleased to learn that the cooker seems to be fine (I am touching a large piece of wood) and last nights dinner went down well.
Readers may also be pleased to learn that this will be the last Blog post on this subject.
(Hopefully)

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe...

The writing on the wall

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-government-zero-hour-contract-ban-latest-a9257281.html?fbclid=IwAR0OW6qhoVnO9MVH-E9ruKFLnL_V3NQ5PMpYEkGGHEXskJxkAsrr2UJjRIs Two-thirds of voters want  Boris Johnson ‘s government to ban zero-hours contracts, a poll has found. There will be many people over the coming months and years who will tell the "pollsters" that something should be done about the homeless, or the costs of electric, gas and water, or about the costs of public transport, or the failing (and privatised) NHS, or the excessive profits and tax avoidance of large corporations. etc. To all those I say, that if you did not vote Labour then you have only yourselves to blame and you must bear the consequences of your actions. Johnson a nd his sycophant cronies have been given a blank cheque to do as they please and sell off vast portions of the British economy to the Americans, (the takeover of British defence giant Cobham by a US private equi...

Greed and envy are good says Boris Johnson.

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/embrace-culture-of-greed-says-boris-johnson-8968276.html Embrace culture of greed, says Boris Johnson Boris Johnson.  "I stress – I don't believe that economic equality is possible; indeed some measure of inequality is essential for the spirit of envy and keeping up with the Joneses that is, like greed, a valuable spur to economic activity." Johnson delivering the annual Margaret Thatcher lecture at the Centre for Policy Studies think-tank, Wednesday 27th November 2013 Boris Johnson seeks to emulate Thatcher. He appeals to the evil side of the "nasty" party, for a society where greed is good, where selfishness is encouraged, where division amongst people by envy and status is championed as a proper objective and where the excesses of business and government are regarded as appropriate and right for the advancement of the few at the expense of the many. Johnson is an evil man with evil intent...
