Our bairn's nursery - the hourly rate at which is about as expensive as a Thai prostitute - is insisting we pay for sessions which do not occur. And by that I mean when the building is closed on Bank Holidays but my son is ordinarily rostered in on a Monday. WE ARE CLOSED - YOU STILL PAY. It is a council run facility but the nursery set the policy. Do my consumer rights protect me from paying for a service which the service provider is preventing me from receiving? I really don't want to go postal down there as the next nearest nursery is a further 3 minute walk away. If it's in their Ts&Cs there's nowt you can do. I was paying £800 a month for nursery at one stage which was painful. It doesn't get better mind, the not so little shits cost even more the older they get.

Bit me three times, and was generally slightly unhinged. Long story short, he’s been relegated back to League 1 and we cut our “trial period” short. I’m a bit gutted tbh, as when he wasn’t being a fucking canine terrorist he was lovely, but ultimately me and the Mrs. didn’t feel like we could trust it not to go full Mackem at some point in the future. We’re probably going to try and find a pup of a Westie/Staffie cocktail if possible, without having take out a second fucking mortgage. ( I’d be happy to fuck the whole idea off, but if “compromise” has to be made, I’m having some lines in the sand drawn regarding breed, and spaniels can fuck right off- they’re mental and they fucking honk [paging @Dr Gloomand his Mrs ]. Mrs. F. is gradually realising that I actually know what I’m on about regarding mutts, but still won’t cave to a proper Staffy… yet.) I’m going to pop in to Benton dog shelter and, at the very least, register my interest … in a Staffy . I wonder if anyone was there to witness the “three bitings”? I put it to you there were no bitings, just a man and his determination to own a staffy.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, we've got our little lad in 4 days a week and it's about £800. Genuinely can't wait for him to be at school, so I can spend the rest on grown up stuff like beer and comics.

If his school is owt like my kids’ primary, you’ll be spending most of it on “voluntary” donations and “optional” activities, not to mention whatever the latest marketing scam/craze he and his mates will “neeeeeeed Daaaaad “.

I'm hoping society keeps going the way it is and by the time he's old enough to be wanting anything we'll be too busy foraging for squirrels before the roving bands of cannibals find us. Honestly, he's already in swimming classes, I'm probably signing him up to football classes in the next 6 months. Then there'll be rugby and tennis if Mrs Fish has owt to do with it (she's from posh Yorkshire). Obviously he'll need a tutor, maybe English (Honestly kid, it's pronounced 'pengwin', not 'pippip'), probably music. Which is fine and everything, but I'm not buying him fucking yeezys, or a minecraft gaming chair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
