  1. I was driving from Cheshire to Brundall on Wednesday night and had a full tyre deflation on the A14 about 5 miles from Brampton, this was 8:30pm. I managed to make my way off the A14 to a pub after stopping twice and putting air into the tyre. I then used the inflation stuff that comes with the car instead of a spare. This just oozed out all over the car park. So I rang the asistance line and this is where the fun started. I could go on and on here but to keep it short their solution was to lift the car and take to a secure compound, get me a taxi to Brundall and then with some hope put the fixed car in a dedicated delivery van and deliver it to me at Brundall. How much would that of cost (I'm talking generally as it wouldn't have cost me a penny as its all covered!). Anyway the driver came to take the car at 11pm but there was no sign or telephone call (that I should have received) of anyone coming to collect me. I waited half an hour and the finally got through to the emergencey line, there had been some mix up and nothing yet had been arranged so I couldnt let the driver take it. Instead I spoke to the pub people who were really friendly and made a room up for me. After which I rang the assistance line and said why can't they just get a mobile tyre company to fix my tyre where it was. Eventually at 11 the next morning thats what they did... Can you believe all that for a flat tyre!! I've spared you all the phone calls and angst! but surely their solution is far worse for the client, the planet and costlier than a spare.

  2. A good number of years ago I used to work for McVities making Jaffa Cakes and as well as our own branded version we made a number of other brands for well known supermarkets. We did use a different ingredients mix so it could be classed as unique but the difference was that slight you would never know...however the price ranges on the shelves were quite dramatic!

  3. Gave the Lavender house a go in the past and found the food very nice but the service was all very regimented (we had the taster menu). We were fans of the indian only because it saved the odd trip to Norwich or the Tamarind however the food was average and the place was always cold...the chef did you used to run us home though :default_icon_e_biggrin:. Looking forward to this one and as Speedtriple says I'd far rather see a small menu with a few specials... it usually means a better experience. Lets hope they can turn the heating up in the new year!

    I think Guardiola will be gone from Man City soon. Three seasons and they haven't looked like winning the Champions League, which is what he was brought in to do, and a poor start to this season. It won't be long before we start hearing phrases like "lost the dressing room" etc etc....

    You may be right Paul but he doesn't lose dressing rooms he said himself that he may not stay beyond the current extension so could be gone at the end of this or next season. The football we play is at times is mesmeric and just the same this season. We lost 2 points to VAR and a defensive mare against Norwich who capitalised brilliantly. We've got defensive shortages that might take its toll this season but we are still playing fantastic football
