Where do these people hide when they're not on holiday? The Beach was too sandy THESE ARE ACTUAL COMPLAINTS RECEIVED BY "THOMAS COOK VACATIONS" FROM DISSATISFIED CUSTOMERS: 1. "On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food." 2. "They should not allow topless sunbathing on the beach. It was very distracting for my husband who just wanted to relax." 3. "We went on holiday to Spain and had a problem with the taxi drivers as they were all Spanish." 4. "We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our own swimsuits and towels. We assumed it would be included in the price." 5. "The beach was too sandy. We had to clean everything when we returned to our room." 6. "We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as white but it was more yellow." 7. "It's lazy of the local shopkeepers in Puerto Vallartato close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during 'siesta' time -- this should be banned." 8. "No-one told us there would be fish in the water. The children were scared." 9. "Although the brochure said that there was a fully equipped kitchen, there was no egg-slicer in the drawers." 10. "I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local convenience store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts." 11. "The roads were uneven and bumpy, so we could not read the local guide book during the bus ride to the resort. Because of this, we were unaware of many things that would have made our holiday more fun." 12. "It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England. It took the Americans only three hours to get home. This seems unfair." 13. "I compared the size of our one-bedroom suite to our friends' three-bedroom and ours was significantly smaller." 14. "The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the resort.' We're trainee hairdressers and we think they knew and made us wait longer for service." 15. "When we were in Spain, there were too many Spanish people there. The receptionist spoke Spanish, the food was Spanish. No one told us that there would be so many foreigners." 16. "We had to line up outside to catch the boat and there was no air-conditioning." 17. "It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel." 18. "I was bitten by a mosquito. The brochure did not mention mosquitoes." 19. "My fiancée and I requested twin-beds when we booked, but instead we were placed in a room with a king bed. We now hold you responsible and want to be re-reimbursed for the fact that I became pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked." BE AWARE ... THEY WALK AMONG US and THEY VOTE!

OMG you must spell check first !!!! Just one little spelling mistake Let me tell you friends, that one simple spelling mistake--even a typo--can make your life hell. I recently penned a short, romantic note to my wife while I was away on a fishing trip, and I missed one small "e". No problem you might say. Not so. This tiny error has caused me to seek Police protection to enter my own house. I wrote, "Hi darling, I'm enjoying and experiencing the best time of my whole life, and I wish you were her!"

A mother passing by her son's bedroom was astonished to see the bed was nicely made, and everything was picked up. Then, she saw an envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow. It was addressed, 'Mum' With the worst premonition, she opened the envelope and read the letter, with trembling hands. 'Dear, Mum. It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend, because I wanted to avoid a scene with Dad and you. I've been finding real passion with Stacy, and she is so nice, but I knew you would not approve of her, because of all her piercing's, tattoos, her tight Motorcycle clothes, and because she is so much older than I am. But it's not only the passion, Mum. She's pregnant. Stacy said that we will be very happy. She owns a trailer in the woods, and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. We share a dream of having many more children. Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone. We'll be growing it for ourselves, and trading it with the other people in the commune, for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want. In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS, so Stacy can get better. She sure deserves it!! Don't worry Mum, I'm 15, and I know how to take care of myself. Someday, I'm sure we'll be back to visit, so you can get to know your many grandchildren. Love, your son, Nicholas. "P.S. Mum, none of the above is true. I'm over at Jason's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the school report that's on my desk" I love you! Call when it is safe for me to come home.

How many of us have the ‘nads to show this our other halves? and then survive the next few hours.....

Shown below is my ongoing mini project of a gritter truck. It will have a plough on the front when finished.

My mobile phone site is starting to take shape, my plan is for a diarama around a 5G upgrade in progress. I’ll need to source or create a cherry picker

Squirrels - Rats with good PR

They live amongst us!

Not great living on your own in the current situation. I am at home with SWMBO, along with very regular visits from our daughter & granddaughter and still find it hard. i can’t wait to see friends and further family soon and get on the train down to London to see colleagues. The layout is progressing at a nails pace Stay safe out there!

Progress has been really slow, the layout is next to my work desk and after 9-10 hours of Teams meetings, I have very little mojo for sitting on the same chair any longer. I was going to reply earlier but had to replace the outer track as somehow it had got damaged. The latest mini projects include the scenic break bridge, the start of the building site, my snowploughs ( further inspired by the current weather) and a road snowplough to go on the road bridge. The overall aim is to have a wintry covering. Karl

My mojo comes and goes, each day is different, and my layout is spread with many unfinished mini-projects. My mental health is on the rise, even in these Covid time when I tend to spend my day from 0800-1730 talking to my computer on endless conference calls. Having recently spoken to my quack, we have agreed for me to wean myself off the sertraline because I am feeling better and the jumpy legs and excessive sweating at nights really p1ss me off.. I can relate to all the comments above, I try to support anyone with less than good mental health in anyway I can, because I have been supported, by family and friends, especially my wife & I am feeling much more positive. Stay safe Karl
