      Thanks. Hurts that I've worked for 25 years but can't get Dole.

      Surely you're entitled to something if you've worked for that long and paid your dues?

    4. M.I.B

      M.I.B

      Sadly not - I get a tiny pension from the Army which nullifies the dole.

      call me old fashioned but what happened to the good old P45? (best served just before Christmas!).

    3. Claude_Dreyfus

      Claude_Dreyfus

      P46 sounds better...it means you have another job lined up(P46 required if you haven't been issued with your P45 yet).

    Fake DPD email - says your parcel needs a new delivery time and asks you to pay £3 or £1.  Looks very convincing.  With Black Friday looming and new model releases being couriered about at the moment please do not be tempted to reply.

      The felons are getting horribly clever with these things.  No longer is poor English/grammar/punctuation an obvious give-away.

      How do I know?

      I've recently applied to renew my driving licence on line and learned the hard way that I'd used a fake website.  The nearest I got to a clue that all wasnt what it appeared to be was that it asked it for my state and zipcode, not my county and postcode, and to my eternal regret all that did was make me indignant, not suspicious.

  21. M.I.B

    Rain. 4 sets of name plates and a new Hall arrived in the post. Put the kettle and radio on!

    A good afternoon's airbrush weathering: 2 prs of B Sets, a tanker and a dozen coal wagons. Stopping now - don't want the next lot to look the same colours and shades.

      Don't stop, I'll drop off some of mine LOL

      Stay safe. And, of course, thank-you.

    72XX and Dukedog on order. All paid for by not smoking. Feels worth it now somehow. Haven't had a new engine since 1982! -

      Well done mate, good on you! Smoking is evil, thanks to that my nan now has cancer, and my dad's health is bleak so I'm happy to read your progress :-)
