Neat! So they only offer resistance when turned clockwise, but slip when force is applied anti-clockwise.

Yep. After my shed got raided via the hinges this was the way to prevent a repeat performance.

For the last few days I have been involved in a three way tug-of-love between myself, Three and Phones4U. Intending to move to Orange (via Phones4U), Three refused to give me my PAC. Their customer retention department called four times yesterday, and eventually, after much debate, beat Phones4U's deal and convinced me to stay.

So, I called Phones4U to cancel. Phones4U then offered me a cheque for £144 to switch - thus matching Three's total cost over the 24 months, and a contract offering hundreds more free minutes (100 v 500) and texts (100 v 3000) per month to boot. So, I shall go with them after all.

I called Three to tell them I shall be leaving, and they can't beat this now. Instead they have this morning been telling me that Phones4U are in trouble with Ofcom for misselling and that I should stick with Three for "peace of mind".

It's been quite a drawn out process over the last few days. But a lot of narky calls has resulted in a free phone and 20% off the contract compared to what I thought I was going to pay...

Congrats to Noisy.

I had to sacrifice my Saturday afternoon to work - 

BUT, I've just finished and there's an episode of House starting right about now

All the media stories about Phones4U mis-selling date from 2 years ago - one assumes they have improved since then.

Congrats Noisy.

I bought 13 progs between 28 and 41 for 6 quid all in VG condition for 50p each and a 12" single of This Charming Man for 2 quid this morning.

I also found a small enamel sign that was from a company called Dodo Designs who used to have a fantastic shop like an Emporium in Tunbridge Wells [next to the Pantiles] back in the early 80s.They used to reproduce retro designs.It was a fantastic shop if anyone remembers it.

Thanks, people. It's only a temp contract, but it'll tide me over while I look for something permanent: )
