There’s nothing more satisfying than sending a solicitor a claim for late payment charges though.

I’ve added a Cheap Fuel Near Motorway Junctions map to the Useful Sites & Tools page.
If anyone thinks it’s worth carrying on with and has any favourite locations for reasonably priced fuel just off a motorway or major trunk route then please send me an email.
I probably should have called it ‘Fuel Near Motorway Junctions That’s Not Quite as Extortianate as at the Motorway Services’ to be more honest.

I was vaguely thinking it might be worth the effort to put a map together showing cheap petrol stations near motorway and major trunk route junctions.
Does the modern satnav enabled courier already have this sort of information available to them or do they rely on knowledge and luck like I used to?
Would it be a worthwhile waste of a few hours of my time?

I’ve just rung a ‘Network’ member to do a job. He said “I’m a bit short of money so…”
Can anyone guess the end of the sentence?

It’s nothing to do with football, it’s just instinctive tribalism, same as when you’re a kid you fight against the kids in the next door school or the next door estate. It’s the same as a group of chimpanzees fighting with a neighbouring group – it’s built into the human psyche and there’s really very little that we can do to change the situation short of forcing every boy in the country to pass a psychology exam before they’re allowed to leave school so that they can understand, and attempt to control, their actions.

Just a point when charging interest on late payments……..your not entitled to it if they are a small business.
More bullshit. The law changed in 2002 and it now doesn’t matter what size either party is.

Just to do an Alec….Anyone can refuse scotish notes, they are private bank notes and even though it is legal tender you do not have to accept it.FACT.
Hardly ‘doing an Alec’ since you’re wrong again.
Scottish bank notes aren’t even legal tender in Scotland, never mind England. Only coins are legal tender in Scotland.

You don’t even need photo ID unless you’re flying. An old style driving licence is fine.
“Irish Ferries recommend all passengers bring a passport with them. Irish and British citizens do not strictly require a passport to travel between the two countries – some form of identification is however required.
Photo ID, Bank Cards or bills for house utilities addressed to you are all acceptable and useful means of identification. “
