letter

OK I've unashamedly stole this from another forum. Easy really just change one letter in a film or song title to completely change it. I'll start with a few. TOP BUN - A young Paul Hollywood falls for Mary Berry whilst training to be a pastry chef. In a tent! THE ****ET LIST - A man...

In the post this morning stating that they've had notification from AN Other Insurance Co that my car was in an 'incident' at the doctors surgery on 30th Jan 2017. No other info but they wanted pictures of my car. On that day I was at the docs and did reverse into a parked car: squarely...

From December the interest rate on my savings account is changing to (drum roll) ... 0.05% PA. Gross. Really? Why not just say "we've decided not to give interest any more"?!

I've just heard on the radio about RR employees being sent a letter of possible consequences if we leave the EU. They may as move it all back to Munich as far as I'm concerned and stick a propellor on the front. At this juncture perhaps the government might wake up and realise this country is...

Guys, recently i had some faults with the motor where springs broke, pads needed changing and so on. Being an MB customer and getting services and repairs done by them i went back to them to ask for price on items and labour. It took two MB dealerships to come back with nothing as I had to call...

I had a jiffybag posted to me today Airmail from San Diego containing some US spec engine parts. Used small part spares so nominal costs. How long realistically before I can expect delivery? :dk:

Found this on the tinternet this morning, thought it may be of interest to some 1965 letter selling the Mercedes-Benz 190 Diesel July 12, 1965 Dear Sir: "Forget it, Heinz," the experts told me. "It Just won't sell here." They were talking about the Mercedes-Benz 190 Diesel -- a car that is...

Dark days indeed. The Nazis have just been pushed back from Stalingrad but are preparing for an offensive in Kursk. The outcome of the war on the Eastern Front is far from being decided, as indeed is the whole outcome of WW2. In typical British spirit, there is only one thing to do in such dire...

Hi I am going to write a letter to MB about the auto shut off valve and its failing 3 times. I feel that there is some fundamental fault in the V6 and want their opinion of how they intend to rectify this. I know that there is little chance to get much response but was wondering does anyone...

I have scanned the user manual and this website but I can't see anywhere an explanation for a graphic in my display, a capital 'P' in a box ! It is above the DNRP display and only seems to appear at speeds under around 20mph or so (I think !), I thought it was related to the Parktronic but it...

Hi All, Some advice if you will please: Today I received a letter from the DVLA saying that I failed to notify disposal of a vehicle and therefore have to pay a fine. However, the registration mark on the letter isn't one I recognise. The letter states that the transfer took place on...

Quickie... I'm writing a letter to a company that I ordered a bit of kit from and never had it delivered. Should I include in the letter that their final chance to rectify the situation by sending me my receiver (or a full refund) before I escalate the matter to a small claims court? Or...

Go on........ sack me! How dare the BBC dismiss Carol Thatcher for a slip of the tongue remark she made in a private conversation? Equally, how dare the BBC continue to employ Jonathon Ross after he deliberately made far more offensive remarks on air? As a child of the 60’s, to me a Golliwog...

Have we seen this before? It made me laugh and looks authentic :o :o Regards John
