Hi Colin, just thought I'd ask how you are getting on with your accident, Have you sorted it out yet?...Brian {

 

[Lord Braykewynde]

.... and while the post is for Colin I'll mention a letter that was in the Camping & Caravan Club Magazine although it will be of interest to all Taffs. It was a letter from a Mr Johnson saying how he had spent a lovely time in the Elan Valley and England takes some beating in the summer when the weathers nice.... OK Colin, I can sense you breathing fire but fear not. As a person living just 9 miles from the Welsh border the last thing I wanted was loads of Taffs shouting their warcries and raping and pillaging the good burghers of my fair city so I wrote in your defence.....

Dear Editor

I fear the worse. Living on the Welsh border I can hear the war cries on the hills from here. Even the sheep are bleating louder and the Red Kites have started moulting again from stress. Please correct the blunder that you printed in the letter from Douglas Johnson of Burton on Trent. The Elan Valley is in the middle of the WELSH countryside not the English countryside. If you don't apologise I'm afraid, like my ancestors, it's back to Offa's **** for me to defend the realm. Pass me my longbow please.

I have received a letter back saying they will try to rectify their mistake. If not it looks like you'll be burning our Cathedral again as you did in 1087 :O(

Hi Brian - thanks for your concern regarding the accident. I think I am on the home straight regarding the insurance - SAGA to date have been very understanding and most cooperative. Hopefully just a few loose ends to tie up. However the relay company, not AA or RAC but the one that unfortunately I cannot name for reasons beknown to the moderator, have proved very difficult and I am contacting the Financial Ombudsman Service for their consideration of the case. I have been refused recompence for the relay from Warminster to Bridgend which cost

Well that does come as a surprise Colin beings the water goes to Birmingham lmaooooo. Regarding the paying to enter Wales I do find that strange but when leaving it is free but Im told that is because the road is the best thing to come out of there and the Highways Dept. dont want to spoil things. Tut! Tut! Brian, you raped and pillaged in 1087, my you do have a short memory. ;O)

Tut tut, me thinks you meant Colin My Lord.

 

[colin(bridgend)]

My dear Sir - on the BBC Wales news today the actual report stated that a Welsh valley was flooded to provide water for Liverpool. I think you may be getting your wires crossed in so much that the Elan Valley reservoirs which you mentioned does in fact serve Birmingham for water. We are talking on two seperate instances whereby the English flooded Wales for water. Regarding the war of 1047 I do not see any mention in Brian's entry regarding any war - he was enquiring regarding my accident in July 2005. Thirdly the reason for the toll to enter Wales is not as you believe - the toll is there because we are particular who we let enter our fair country - if they are too miserable to pay the toll we do not want them polluting the fresh air of Wales. I could state many virtues of Wales which would make you end up agreeing with me of the splendours of Wales. PS who won the Grand Slam in 2005 - previously our boys were off colour a bit and were not playing 100%

My Lord, your last sentance says "Tut! tut! Brian you raped and pillaged in 1087" I have witnesses to say that I went to Cornwall that year.

 

[Lord Braykewynde]

I thank you for acknowledging the fact that I did post about the Elan Valley and the water went to Birmingham but I'm sorry regarding the Grand Slam Colin as I have no interest in Squash, in fact I dont even know the rules. heheh

 

[colin(bridgend)]

My dear Lord B. It would appear to me, and I think Brian would agree, you are getting more confused with each posting - could this be a case of foot and mouth disease - every time you open your mouth you put your foot in it. This state of confusion comes to us all eventually in life, some sooner that others. In my case I put it down to my love of Irish whisky.

 

[Lord Braykewynde]

Tut tut, me thinks you meant Colin My Lord.

lmaoooooooooooo well it was getting late Brian.

Ummmmm apart from saying Brian instead of Colin I think I was right on the other points Colin and yes I was a silly billy in that instance because I should have told you apart from your accents ;O)

 

[colin(bridgend)]

Hi Brian - just to updat you I recently had a telephone call from the relay company offering me part payment of the total cost of relaying my caravan from Warminster home to Bridgend. They would not pay in full as they were given to understand that specialist equipment was used. I questioned their decision regarding total reimburment and what their definition of specialist equipment was and they are going to look into it further. I will keep you posted.

 

[CliveV]

Keep at them Colin - remember DOCUMENT EVERYTHING.

I suggest you know write to them confirming the content of the conversation and what was agreed.

I have lost count of the times the notes on the computor file are at total odds with what we understood to be happening.

Do not want to "piddle in your cornflakes" but the "we will look into it" is a common delaying tactic.

 

[colin(bridgend)]

Just a note to inform you Brian that I have today received a settlement in full from Saga regarding my accident with the van. Although it has been long drawn out for various reasons the service and courtesy from the staff at Saga has been first class - cannot be faulted. For all those who have expressed an interest I thank you.

 

[colin(bridgend)]

Reading through past postings in this particular topic I have just thought of a little bit of enlightenment for Lord B with his fear of the Welsh. The true definition of the Welsh is that we are the Irish who could not swim. This is a result of the Danes invading on the east coast of Britain and driving the Celts west. So in future you could end up with the Celts uprising against you at Offa's ****. The Celts consist of Brettons, Irish, Scottish and Welsh.

 

[BrianStAlbans]

Great news Colin,now there's plenty of time to get that new van for the Forum Easter rally ....Brian

 

[colin(bridgend)]

Hi Brian - we are one step ahead of you - we have bought a motor home from my retirement payout and will now put the money back into the savings.

 

[Lord Braykewynde]

If I see you uprising Colin I will at least know you've been in my medicine cabinet stealing my Viagra and then I expect you to move your protesting to "more rape less pillage". Ummmmm for the record Colin, in Hereford theres a law thats never been recinded. An Englishman can shoot a Welshman dead with a bow and arrow in High Town and not get charged for murder. So in otherwords Colin ... leave my Viagra alone :OP

 

[colin(bridgend)]

Lord B - At the time of writing this script I do not need the assistance of Viagra. Your sex enhancing remedy is therefore, as far as I am concerned, as safe as houses. Also I would not like to deprive your maid servant of any pleasures or joys, especially during the festive season, that you might give her.

As far as the enablement of being allowed by law to shoot a Welshman with a bow and arrow I think you will find that us Welsh will have a cunning plan to out wit you English bow men. You have been warned - come the revolution.
