I had high cholesterol a couple of years ago, not too bad but the doctor said I have to take statins to get it down. I got it down and was told I'm in good health for my age. I said great I'll stop taking them now then ? He said in an anxious voice " No you have to take them for the rest of your...

Congratulations. I got an email yesterday telling me I am now entitled to a free bus pass as I'm 65. Now I do feel old !

Today I asked customers not to put liquid in the water in the bucket, put in vinegar instead. After cleaning the windows they definitely had a sparkle and the customers said its vinegar every time from now on. An elderly lady told me about vinegar, its versatile, and not just for putting on chips !

Bet we've all had a job we thought would be easy to do ? I did some voluntary work as an adult literacy assistant in a community centre. Only a small group and really relaxed no pressure. Anyway I must have done okay as I was told to take a class at another centre as the tutor was off sick...

Another chap was supposed to be a hard man with a reputation and he said he was in between jobs, and wanted some casual work. He was a big lad and looked tough and i also had some gardening work on so said okay. He lasted one day. Couldn't work at heights, couldn't clean windows properly, and he...

I've had people come up to me in the pub in the past, asking if they can do a few days on the window round, just to earn a few quid ? I ask if they've done the job before ? One or two reply by saying no, but it should be easy enough. It's not rocket science, but as with all jobs you need to...

People make the mistake when cleaning their Windows by soaking a cloth with the water , you need the cloth to be wet obviously, but wring it out so it is just slightly damp. But the sun is the enemy as it brings out smears on the outside, so clean inside first is my tip.

Stained glass windows are a pain to clean, pardon the pun. I just use a dry cloth slightly damp, and that's it.

Okay I now know what you mean ? I have cleaned many of these. I reccomend using warm water, put in some vinegar, honestly it works, use a squeegee if you have one, if not use a good clean cloth, and wipe from left to right along from top to bottom. Don't soak the glass with too much water, leave...

Do you mean stain glass windows ?

Just read in the paper today about these people who pay big money to go to places to shoot and kill animals. They are pictured smiling and gloating over their "kill" to me it's sickening. One picture of a slain polar bear which was minding it's own business in the snow and ice, to be brutally...

Plenty of flats empty Houch in Bell Green and Wood End !

With your PPI money back you can have a nice holiday anyway !

Off thread a bit. What's it like around the Malverns ? Ive been up them hills some years back when it was hot, not ideal for walking / hiking.

Heavy showers on the way. So we'll go from intense heat to downpours. As someone who works outdoors I like the ups and downs of our climate.

Fancy checking it out now. Been online but there's so many to look at so bit wary giving details out online etc. Just want free advice. What's the best one ?

Thanks. I'll send you a postcard from the Bahamas very soon then !

I thought PPI was rubbish ? I get constant calls asking me about it, but I hang up or say not interested. To be honest I dont really know what's it's about. I've just got the State pension, but will carry on doing my round till I think that's enough. Which after this hot spell will be next week...

One time at The Monsters Of Rock at Donnington me and my mate after copious amounts of lager for some reason decided to walk out the venue to buy t-shirts outside. We bought Ozzy Osbourne t-shirts and tried to get back in again, but the security said no way, rules are rules etc, leave the venue...

What about a car full of people on a red hot day, with the windows not open. What's all that about !
