(Although why anybody would choose to move from Leeds to Bradford is itself a mystery). Money goes further and closer to work. Whilst it's a Bradford postcode it's basically Bingley which is a very nice area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was like moving to a different country on bin day when we moved over the border to Solihull. No rubbish strewn across the street every morning by savaging foxes. Depends on where you live but I think most are on wheelie bins now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC_Hitz Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Bulgaria. Metal wheelie dump on each street corner. Rubbish thrown in everyday and rubbish collected everynight. You can leave anything against the bin and the Roma will have it away in 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of our favourite parks just in behind it. Beat me to it. On both counts. We often do a walk from the car park behind the (erstwhile) Ferrands Arms, along the river, up onto the moor, down past the golf course via St Ives estate and through the park. This cheers me up, so back on topic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This cheers me up, so back on topic. I often put the little one on my bike and cycle down to the park along the canal and up along the river to the playground, then grab a treat from Lidl. He loves that day out and think I might do it tomorrow. We also love St Ives with the big playground and it's woods (it's nice to see the work they're doing to plant indigenous trees). Skipton has a great playground but the park isn't great for walks etc. Never actually been to the Ferrands, one of the few pubs in Bingley we've not tried. I like Martinez Wines and the Old White Horse if going for food. Shame Galo's closed as that was a cracking Italian restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted March 18, 2021 Moderator Share Posted March 18, 2021 Our Admin Dept started to throw their weight about today regarding other people updating drivers information and swapping vehicles etc. They basically sent a cease and desist email to me and a few others.... Ten minutes later the Company Secretary fires one back... All managers can update driver information, the only way this wouldn't be the case is if Admin are prepared to be open 24/7 or contactable at home 24/7 like our on-call managers. There is also no point in a manager who in the course of their daily duties needs to update something, passing that person through to admin to do the update and then passing them back to the relevant manger to finish the job they were already doing. That would be a waste of time As expected, no response and they've been put back in their box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly don't know but quite possibly. Moved to just outside the town a few years ago and didn't recognise the name (not really a pub person anymore and would usually go to Ilkley or Leeds if I was). I Googled it, name came up and looked familiar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will whisk away *anything* you leave on your step, which is nice as a lazy person, but in practice it is put into enormous dumps where people are up all night sorting it, yet it mostly still then goes into the same untreated holes in the ground - or the ocean - anyway.

Cheers me up too, and not just for the obvious reason of warming @Delphinho123, but it also diverted me from reviewing a safety document for a bit, which was nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I’m glad my radiators have cheered a few people up. It’s been a rollercoaster ride for both myself and Blandy. I can’t wait for something else to go wrong in my house. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
