The all new "seethe" thread

[Jambos_1874]

I recently bought an electric toothbrush but in order to charge it you have to plug it into the two pin shaver socket you get in some (but not all!!!!) bathrooms. I don't have that type of socket anywhere in my flat so now I have to go and buy an adaptor. Why don't they just have a normal plug and why the heck do bathrooms have this type of shaver socket rather than a regular socket (and conversely, why don't electric razors have a normal style plug?)!!?

Just spent an hour on a comparison site looking at energy. It gave me a page full of results that'll save me £80+ per year. Except they won't as the calculations don't work. I can make a marginal saving with the top of the list but it's not worth it.

I'm not sure how they get away with telling lies like this.

This year I came across a women who referred to her toddler daughter as "Bieber" and last year another who referred to her daughter as "Tequilla".

 

I am lost for words.

 

My wife did some of her PGCE placement in one of the primary schools in Greenock, there was a Pocahontas in the school and as you may have guessed, she wasn't native to anywhere except Inverclyde. 

 

I also had the misfortune to be walking down Buchanan St 18 months ago and heard a delightful mother screaming "Cairo" at her toddler son.  Obviously i expect that Cairo was spelt Kiro or something like that.

He asked for a withdrawal and the BOS teller says ‘that’s a large withdrawal Mr X, can I ask what you’re using the money for’

To be fair, the reason they ask that question (particularly if they can see that it's a far larger withdrawal than is usual from that account) is to protect older people from being scammed. If they get a response along the lines of "the guys who've just done my driveway told me that I'd already agreed to pay them £10k, but I couldn't remember that", the bank staff can often be the most efficient prevention from somebody being done out of their life savings (and I don't work for any bank!)

I’d have found it funnier if the teller said to him ‘In that case I can’t authorise the transaction sir’.

Sounds dodgy but just use a pen to push down the release thingy on the top hole (earth) and then your plug will fit.  They do it all the time in the Middle East where they use a UK style plug in the homes but most of the products sold are the two pin style.  As I said sounds dodgy but works fine.

On the way home from my niece's birthday party in Greenock last night we stopped at the services before Gretna, my son went into a cubicle for a pee, he came out and said "look what someone he's written dad" "you name it I suck it" I just know he didn't really believe me when I said it was about sweets and lolly pops.

I can see different sides in this. Some have been pushed into interest only mortgages as they're from/live in areas where property largely unattainable. Rental prices are also sky high and cost more than the equivalent mortgage. Taking on an interest only mortgage probably halves their living costs. 

It's quite clever in one sense as their mortgage will be costing them half of what their rent would be. No doubt they hoped one day they could pay it off one day but circumstance has probably dictated otherwise. The end result, if it's not paid they get thrown out and have to rent. Boohoo. They'll have saved 6 figures in rent for the duration.
