    All that has happened is some members showing us that they are not willing to use the forum under any guidelines we have in place,

    Ban them. No if's, buts or maybe's.

    If they cannot comply with the new guidlines, send them off the field of play, simples.  Especially if they are making such an effort to get round them.

    Never done it myself but I've read that other people have used various  social media outlets to name and shame them and it seems to prompt them into action. Gotta be at least worth a try. Nothing to lose if it doesn't work I suppose. 

    No point shaming SCS, as it is now in the insurance people's hands, name and shaming SCS could land it in hot water.  The only thing is you could shame SCS by saying the insurance they sold is rubbish.

    I would recommend that you change your contents insurance, or check that you might already have, cover for such instances. Adding on 'accidental damage' or 'full cover' only adds about 15-25 quid, depending on your poily.

    Fortunately I also bought their 5 year insurance plan - went through that, claim accepted straight away... 6 months later... my claim is still with their 'solutions team' and they can't give me an estimate on how long it will take to resolve my problem.

    Call them, ask for a date, if they fail, say you are reporting their inability to forfil their promise.

    I had a salesman from Safestyle come round once.

    My wife and I made it quite clear, both before the appointment and at the start we'd never sign up there and then, but would take the quote and think about it.

    The salesman almost burst into tears when we'd explained our stance to him, telling us how he'd come all the way from Coventry to see us, and even showing us pictures of his kids to seal the deal!

    Eventually he produced a quote half his original one, which I took to my next door neighbour, who is also a window fitter during a break in the salesmans crying, and he beat it in half again!

     

    Pressure selling, illegal and morally wrong.

    Also why do people wear their watch either he face down so all most people see is the strap?  It makes people look like nutters. 

    Never trust anyone that wears a watch like that 

    Not had much contact with the military I assume?  Back in the day, before digital and other tech, infantry would turn the watch inward to avoid reflection.  Also it is an easier movement to look at the palm/inner wrist, than the back of it.

    I wish it was socially acceptable for adults to build Lego. I've never liked comics, but I often wish I still had my Lego from when I was a kid.

    It is perfectly acceptable, the only people that think it isn't are knuckle dragging morons. 

    As a child or an adult, there is lego that is out there that can either be a challenge to build a Bugatti Chiron, or grab a box of bricks and see where your imagination takes you.

    I’m sure I read somewhere that if the Union Jack (which is what it’s called on a ship at sea) was flying upside down, there was a problem on board, ie mutiny, the chef’s burnt the roast potatoes, nah, I made that last bit up, and assistance was required.

    Could be a load of old toot mind.

     

    Bit of urban myth tbh.

    A couple in the poolside restaurant today.

    2 kids, I'd guess a 4 yr old and 18 months.

    Both completely naked, the 4yr old running around the restaurant, and the infant pissing through the highchair onto the floor, which then wound its way across the floor rendering two other tables unusable.

    Chucking all its food onto the floor, which had been piled high on the highchair tray directly, not a plate, so not exactly hygenic, and the father going as far as picking a piss soaked bagel off the floor, sniffing it and swiftly discarding it, while ignoring the eruption of piss and food at his feet.

     

    Bramcote swimming pool has gone downhill, but hey its Notts.
