Jambo Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Waiting in anticipation of the next message/video clip arriving from my daughter and family currently at Silverstone for the F1 today. The first one arrived at 7.59 this morning! 😄 Very early start but they have managed to get three seats so they have done well. I like winding my grandson up because he is all Verstappen and I cheer on Hamilton. Mind you, he is getting his own back this season for the stick I gave him in the past. They went down from Edinburgh on Thursday and are camping quite close to the circuit. They have a brand new tent but it looks the business. The camp site has a large bar/restaurant so not exactly lacking the essential facilities. 😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post maipenrai Posted July 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 3, 2022 Last night I went to a memorial party for a neighbour that passed away last year - figured I'd spend a couple of hours and then go home but it was a good crowd and I ended up staying until it broke up around midnight; then a few of us decided to wander across the highway to the pub for a drink or two - I took this photo along the way at midnight: Feeling a little draggy today but it's a gorgeous day and it's after noon so I think I'll head out to the patio with a tall rum and coke and catch a few rays... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Having received an email advising me that my latest tax calculation was available to be viewed at HM GOV website I spent almost two hours this morning trying to login to said website. The last time I used it was back in 2006 when I ceased to be UK self employed and departed to Thailand. Since then they now ask a whole list of intrusive questions to verify one's identity and I just could not get it to work. In the end I phoned their technical helpline number who answered after about 20 minutes of hanging on. After explaining where I had reached in the process, but no further, the "Technical Expert" replied: "It's not working properly. Give it an hour or so and try again. If that doesn't work click on the Its not working properly tab." He is probably getting paid 40 grand a year for the IT equivalent of try rebooting it! I put the phone down and had a Eureka moment. Try again using Opera instead of Firefox? Not only did it work properly ( still intrusive questions and protracted) but when I reached the calculation, Oh Joy, HM GOV owe me a refund of just over 500 pounds! Some what better than a kick in the nuts and will be in my account within 5 days. 🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazle Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Feeling mightily pissed off! Just received an email from Lufthansa to say that the Munich to Heathrow leg of my flight from Thailand next week has been cancelled. They have offered me two options: cancel and claim a refund, or fly to Munich and claim a partial refund. What sort of options are they FFS! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started a thread about a month ago regarding access problems to the UK Gov Gateway account. As I delved more into the problem they admitted that they had changed communication providers a few months ago. They subsequently fixed the problem in a couple of days. It seems that their strategy is to compile a technical snag list from customer complaints rather than carry out any system acceptance testing themselves! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's not just the UK, there's flight/airport carnage all over Europe, The Netherlands, Germany, France etc Cancellations and delays. Could've been worse, could only have found out on arrival at Munich, many are only finding out at the airport a couple of hours before their flight.

A couple of weeks ago, the same thing happened to a mate flying back to Thailand. Cancelled LHR/MUN the evening before. It turned out to be good for him as they put him on a Thai flight.
