:( Did you know BT now charges for 1471? I did'nt till this bill.

From what I understand dialling 1471 without using Call Return is free. The Call Return feature of 1471 costs a fixed fee of 16.5p. The fee will apply when you press 3 to return your last caller's call.

However, they certainly didn't publicise it very well. Angry

I never pressed 'return callers vcall' as they say 'there is normally a charge for this'...?

Last time they reckoned I spent 2 hrs on 'directory enquiries'?

Must make crap up- one call was listed 0844 as 'special service 'for an NHS hospital?

I'm assuming you'll be querying the buggers dellas.

:) Of course Nicky.

This is a story about the bond formed between an innocent little girl and a group of building workers. It's allegedly true and might help to confirm your belief in the goodness of people and that there is hope for the human race....................

A young family moved into a house next door to an empty plot. One day, a gang of building workers turned up to start building on the plot.

The young family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in all the activity going on next door and started talking with the workers.

She hung around and eventually the builders, all with hearts of gold, more or less adopted the little girl as a sort of project mascot. They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had tea and lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important.

They even gave the child her very own hard hat and gloves, which thrilled her immensely.

At the end of the first week, the smiling builders presented her with a pay envelope - containing two pounds in 10p coins. The happy little girl took her 'pay' home to her mother who suggested that they take the money to the bank the next day to open a savings account.

At the bank, the female cashier was tickled pink listening to the little girl telling her about her 'work' on the building site and the fact she had a 'pay packet'.

'You must have worked very hard to earn all this', said the cashier.
The little girl proudly replied, 'Yes, I worked every day with Steve and Wayne and Mike. We're building a big house.'

'My goodness gracious,' said the cashier, 'And will you be working on the house again next week?'

The child thought for a moment. Then she said seriously:

'Yea, I think so.

Provided those wankers at Jewson's deliver the f**king bricks on time.'

I don't know.

Harrison Ford's let himself go.

He would be thrilled if he still looked like that!

F**k me, I was joking, but that is actually him!? :O

Heheheh. Yep is really him. I just came across it on Google images.

(I was NOT searching for naked Harrison Ford. Just so you know.)

Yeah...

I thought it was Jethro !

I wish you hadn't shown me that.
