Well I have a mixed opinion. I do agree with what you say and it's true. However without recruitment agencies I'd be in a worse place than I am now. I was unemployable as I had been out of work for so long due to illness, that when I was ready to get ... more »

I do get them too. But I still prefer to go and to try on the clothes. Yes, I know I can do the same at home but.... Oh well, maybe I should try and order online then. Still don't like not to have a proper shop (or a few) for big ladies. So you can go to ... more »

Dogs off lead on the street

Do other people find it worrying the number of people who walk their dog along the path with no lead on , often way in front or behind. When you complain about them interfereing with your own dog, its "He's fine" . Have also seen children at a school ... more »

Agree, have 3 dogs and would NEVER have them on a road off the lead, partly because all being rescues they are not well trained enough, (but my old dog, had from a puppy was also always on a lead on the road), and partly cos they do love cats!,
Hayley S
All this talk we've had on here regarding dogs mess,muzzles,leads etc. It's not the dogs fault, it comes down to the owners I believe. They control this sort of behavior. The dog can't pick its own mess up or put muzzle/lead on. So it's time to blame ... more »

S here
to get a gas bottle you have to pay (rent) for bottle and money for gas if you supply a bottle you only pay for gas I think you will find it in most places if someone know different let us know
Trevor G
I got mine from B & Q, you buy the gas and pay a deposit to cover the bottle, should you return the bottle at some point, the deposit is returned. Keep the paperwork however.
