I meant it dries at different rates when washing the car when it isn't raining.
Presumably the rain will moderate at some time!

Never had, nor wanted, any gift cards

My lights kept flickering just now
It gives me the willies - and how
Is it the rain?
Or blocks down the drain?

It happened this morning.   
Landline rang,  and I was in a bit of a hurry so didn't look at the caller's number like I normally do.

An English  woman's voice started talking so quickly,  and  suddenly asked if I was the person responsible for the energy bills.    
She annoyed me,  partly for her awful gabbling speech,  but also,  I don't know her from Adam, so what right has she to question me about my life in her first sentence!

I  remembered not to say 'Yes'  to her as this alone can get us into trouble,  so I told her I didn't have time to speak to her,  and hung up, then blocked the number
.
After checking her number on the 'Who Called Me'  website,  it showed loads of people had received this same call, from the same number,  and it was a scammer.   So this another one that seems to be doing the rounds now.

Beware.   The number showing was -  01987 555803  Somewhere in Kent,  (but I doubt that was true).

Quote from: Alex on Yesterday at 04:44:28 PMHas anyone ever had one of these gift cards ?  What a performance, you can only use it online.  I had to register it first of all, activate it, then decide which retailer I wanted to use it at.  I chose Boots, ' bought' two items to make up the £30, got to checkout and A)the card isn't recognised and B)my code is wrong ? 

Never had any problem with Boots own gift cards.  Sometimes things are so complicated, makes you feel like giving up ! or perhaps that's the idea ? 

Blimey,  what a palaver Alex.   
Maybe its a security thing to stop people nicking a handful of gift cards as pressies?

Quote from: Michael Rolls on Yesterday at 02:42:36 PMcleaning a car in the rain helps avoid streak as the water dries at differing rates on differing areas

But it won't be drying at differing rates will it,  because it won't be drying at all.  
It's still pouring down.  

It hasn't stopped raining today
Be careful we don't float away!
The rivers are flooded
With everything well muddied

Possible I suppose but if that came out they'd be in big trouble. They do get asked beforehand if there is any connection with accusedor victim and if they say no and it later gets shown that there was they would be prosecuted.

I don't anything about this case other than what it said in the news story. It could be there was an even split in the jury I suppose.
