Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?
But if you have one less dong on the hourly chime won't it mess it up?

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Is it a press? It squeezes something together like embossing a piece of paper with a seal.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Is it a punch for preparing machine operating cards? It punches small rectangular holes in a card or plastic sheet and these slotted cards control the machine. They were frequently used in laundries to control washing machine cycles.

Re: Bathroom Rework
They did a great job without any mess, the sign of good workmen. I love the sink unit, you ended up with a good deal there.
Thanks for sharing the pictures with us.

I will check the PayPal balance later and report back. Graham, I will PM you some details. A cheque would be fine, I could pay it into the post office then transfer it to the site PP account. Alternatively I will send you my backup account details that you could try, saves on the postage. :extrawin...

Re: OGFB Finances 22nd September 2021
Funny isn't it. I quite like the way PayPal checks via a mobile security code. The other thing that strikes me Graham is that all financial institutions charge for handling money....

Yes, it's going well from what you tell us. Sounds like a bonus with the floor standing washbasin cabinet at the same price. Well done.

Re: OGFB Finances 22nd September 2021
Right, I cannot do it. Paypal want to check my transaction by calling my registered number in Kent (my brother) who must enter in a 4 digit key. It seems to happen in less than a minute that they reject the attempt. It's this strong identification law that came in where the are obliged to double che...

Re: OGFB Finances 22nd September 2021
Thanks Ian. I'm still working on it. Problem is my address. Paypal rejects my debit card based on addresses not matching. I have a UK c/o address which it doesn't recognise. I'll keep trying.

I checked today as I was preparing a document for things my wife must do after I've departed. I guess she won't be reporting my death either!

Re: STATE PENSION
Outdated? Really? If you go on to the UK Gov website to report the death of a UK citizen who lived abroad it will cost you 150 quid to submit the report. Really? Who is going to pay 150 quid? So the death goes unreported and the deceased person's pension continues to be paid. I discovered this when ...

A hole. They come in all sizes. Bring a big truck if you need a big hole though most will fit inside a family car. Writing that reminded me of when one-of-my-wives put her Volvo in for an MOT and it needed the engine mounts replacing. They were duly ordered from a place in Rochdale and a mate said s...
