The local council have just fined a nearby vape shop over the chargers they were supplying(not vapourhut,Bob.One in Connahs Quay).
I went in this shop just once.One of those places,you wonder how it stays open.
Fine will probably finish them off,not a bad thing if they want to play naughty.
I must admit, the fact that anyone can open one of these shops is a bit worrying when it comes to giving people accurate advice and supplying top quality goods, particularly when it comes to giving the naysayers canon fodder. Perhaps the way to go with that would be a fairly simple standards qualification for equipment supplied by the shops in order to deter sellers of cheap poor quality items. Not easy.

(a picture speaks a thousand words,i mean,look at him) :laugh:
Yes, just look - he actually looks like a silly old f--- ...and excuse me :blush:, but that's how he looks to me. He should be a park keeper ..just the right 'jobsworth' attitude to fit the bill!

Brilliant! Thanks Marcus - I'll put some on order! Hopefully FT won't be far behind :)

Glad to report queen of puddings has improved with a steep. It's really nice now, I shouldn't post my thoughts on liquids before they've had some time.
Not at all - helps others to know what to expect when it's fairly new :) Glad it's settled in now! :)
I'm going to dig mine out in a minute and have some myself! If blackcurrant didn't make me wheeze, it would probably be an every day one for me.

Probably drinks like a fish as well
Quite possibly! ...and perhaps I could - if so inclined you understand ;) - wish a wee touch of gout upon him :rolleyes:

and a demand for £1.11 because someone hasn't paid enough postage,

I know it's bad practice to reply to one's own, but I went down the SO this morning, they had put the card through the door on 09/06, and the actual excess was 11p + £1 RM charge, because the wife's stupid sister had just put a normal first class stamp on a "large letter" size card, luckily the postie on duty thought it outrageous and didn't charge me, if he had tried I would have just refused the card, because that was what it was, her birthday was 01/06

That's happened to me before - seems unfair to penalise the recipient too!
They should have standard card stamps - I'm sure less cards get sent because of the postage costs, especially at Christmas.

Sorry to hear that - as you say, with luck, one of the two will be back soon.

Glad you're liking the PMP. I've never had Lilt, but I did used to like the little bottles of Britvic fruit juice ..apricot or pineapple etc. That was a lovely fairly thick, very fruity drink, and PMP reminds me of it.

I gave up last Christmas - Bah Humbug! - didn't send one, first time ever.

Quite possible - it's the one area where the normal e-cig (eGo) user needs educating in, most people on the forums are quite savvy, but it's those that get their first one and are given a cheap chinese charger from a shop that has inexperienced staff, that don't explain the risks.

Hope you're feeling better, Bob. I think the tourist industry would be better advised to think about how many people would stay away because of the ban. Wales really doesn't need to lose tourism.

I must admit, it's not my favourite task! ...and I do try to get ours sent before we receive many because some people seem compelled to write on every spare inch of blank card with a summary of their past year! Some even enclose letters!
I only posted essential ones last year!

I used to work with a gallery in Oban, and always stayed in the same hotel in a front room overlooking the harbour/sea. When the smoking ban happened, we were shocked to find it immediately imposed at this hotel without any warning when booking, and we were put in a tiny oppressive rear annexe room that was due for re-decorating - and no reduction on the £100 per night charge! - the owner admitted that it suited them not to have a specific area or rooms that allowed smoking because their insurance was so much cheaper!

The usually busy bar and restaurant of that hotel became soulless places, virtually deserted once there was no smoking in the bar, and it stayed that way every time we visited after.
The hotels with a less strict attitude had a few decent smoking rooms, and a veranda or smoking area near the bar/restaurant, and they remained fairly busy.

No doubt they all became far better patronised once e cigs came onto the scene, but something similar to the smoking ban will put them right back to where they were.
Like many places in the country, Oban enjoys a good tourist trade, and such restrictions will keep people at home or anywhere that has a more sensible & liberal attitude.

Luckily only one of my cousins on step-mother's side does that, can't remember the number of times she has asked for my phone number, then never rings :laugh:

Someone I know (not me, honest!) sent a valentines day card without a stamp and the lady in question had to go to pay for the postage and collect it! Pretty romantic eh

Wouldn't be too bad if that were all we get. There's an old boss of my hhusbands ..going back to early 90's here, and his wife always writes a lot in the card, then there's another old boss from 14 years ago (husband been retired 10 years), and he writes letters to put in the card, then I have a few clients, one from again, early 90's, writes a monologue ..and I barely knew her!
If I can send cards to those people in time, I have a plausible reason not to need to write a long reply!

Brilliant! I just looked again to find the 60/40 information I read yesterday, and I see that they mention two at 60/40, but it was March 2014. They must have changed the ratio since then! :)

Thanks Terry :)
