Don't panic!

It's alright Hyma - I'm a D too! Obviously Rod is the exception that proves the rule

Happy to oblige.

Excellent. But if, when war comes, you get me and Hyma killed we're going to haunt your ass off.

Sounds kinky.

I'd rather be a living coward than the one(s) doing the haunting any day! Although I suspect I may be quite intrigued by the method of haunting proposed!

Apparently toilets/plug holes do NOT spin the other way in the southern hemisphere.

Correct. The effect is too weak.

Do they spin the opposite way round in Ireland to in the rest of the UK? I don't know why I should think that but I swear I heard it somewhere.

I'm an "N" so I'm not too fussed. Even if I did get called up there would have to be a very much better reason than the last couple of skirmishes or I'll call myself a conciencious objector and go to live in the country.

I'm a B so apparently I'd be in the second group!

Working in retail for the past year or so, my favourite one is the 'legal right'/'statutory right' (depending on the punter) to return goods unopened for a full refund for any reason if done within 28 days. How I delight in pointing out that the 28 day period is merely a courtesy which many business extend, it is not a right (indeed, until very recently Argos only allowed 16 days, and many commercial retailers levy a restocking charge for refunds) and the law actually states that In any case in which goods have been paid for and delivery taken, there is only a right to full refund if the goods are faulty or not fit for purpose, merely changing your mind does not oblige the retailer to refund you. The only exception is if the goods have been bought under a finance agreement in which case a cooling off period applies under the Consumer Credit Act - but even then the period is 14 days, not 28.

I delight further when the punter threatens to contact Trading Standards - when I then get to point out that Trading Standards' own website states that simply changing your mind is not a valid reason to ask for your money back.
