Eames Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Newquay. Crowdsurfed there, and got groped there. Interesting. The crowd on the strictly tour can get wild apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCU Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Just throwing this one out there. I've cancelled my Fitness First gym membership via my online banking, just cancelled the direct debit. I've met the minimum yearly requirement it requests in the contract so is that sorted now...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Just throwing this one out there. I've cancelled my Fitness First gym membership via my online banking, just cancelled the direct debit. I've met the minimum yearly requirement it requests in the contract so is that sorted now...? Have you told Fitness First because you might want to do that! They will want one months notice as well so they will claim you need to pay a 13th month if you have left it too late to give the required notice. I had a contract with them and gave them the one month notice before the 12 month contract was up, cancelling the DD myself in the last month and they still tried to charge a 13th month, having a debt collection agency send angry red letters etc :x I pointed out to the woman ringing me that I had given my notice and paid all 12 months and they left me alone after that but I'd never take up a contract with them again.

Dante_Lockhart Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Yeah Fitness First was a ballache for me when I went to quit a few years back. Right bastards, made it really difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieB Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Scrap metal is running at about £220 / tonne Its only 100kg, guy just collected it, £170 in the sky rocket I have a big heavy cast iron woodburner o/s here it needs too much work doing on it, so I bought a newer one of ebay. Is it worth trading it in and any ideas how you find places to take scrap metal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Don't leave it out the front or the pikeys will whisk it away inside 24 hours If you look online there are scrap metal traders who will collect and pay Is it cast iron ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers CI I'll have a look online see who I can find. It is cast iron quite big and VERY heavy. It's up a corner and NO one can find where I live anyway. The village is very higgeldy piggeldy. Only time we see pikeys is Appleby Horse Fair time. EVERYTHING gets bolted down those weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Do you know anybody with a van Julie? You need to just chuck it in thwe back and drive to a scrap metal dealer. A place near me that a friend has used a few times weights the van complete with metal, removes the metal and then re-weighs the van to calculate the price. If its very heavy then it'll be worth the hassle. The comment about about the pikeys having it away in 24 hours, I reckon something like that would be gone in 24 minutes round my way.

Just got rid of an old rotten Aga Boiler (about 3ct). Saw some pikeys outside the local tip advertising that they collect scrap metal. They turned up and took it away..... although watching the 3 of them trying to lift the thing onto the back of their flatbed van was very very funny. Bless em.

villaajax Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I'm having second thoughts about my calendar with the week starting on Sunday, although it scares and confuses me, at least with Sunday crossed off first it looks like I've already cracked the week.
