Winded Jun 2013 9:46pm, 25 Jun 2013 596 posts	Quote Pin Winded Solicitors who are so bad at their job they can't sort my mothers estate out properly and feel they should be paid for the cost overrun caused by their incompetent juniors. In fact just solicitors - a bunch of professional liars with opaque billing systems,heads they win tails I lose.
Oysterboy Jun 2013 5:50pm, 26 Jun 2013 6,657 posts	Quote Pin Oysterboy Courier companies. Just had confirmation that an item has been dispatched to my billing address, as they won't ship to my work address for security reasons, by some unspecified courier service and I can guarantee it will be a massive hassle. They will make a few attempts to deliver it while I'm at work, even after I call them after the first time and tell them not to, then imprison it in the depths of some industrial estate 10 miles from my house that I'll have to cycle to and make sure I'm there during the 12 minute window every other Saturday morning when they're open and I'm not at work. Why can't companies just use royal mail? The sorting office is 5 minutes from my house.
