[daxon]

Pet hate would have to be tea made with water thats not hot enough & not strong enough to get out of the cup!![msnsad]

I used to hate the tea but now we use bottle water for the kettle instead of from the tap.

You can save money by using the filtered water from your fridge.....

I don't know if it has anything to do with it.....but I have been asked if my place is a rental.....2 companies I phoned to see to my A/C would not come out to a MC call....maybe in Orlando all the MC are using the same few companies..!..thinking about it..not come out was not what I meant really...it was more that they were unhappy with the idea of no-one being there all day......I talked to a pool heater guy hanging about for a MC....and they can only wait for a little while....it must be hard being a MC and having to hang around for workman....and the same goes for companies going to a house for repairs and having no-one there to let them in......

You might have a point there Chrizzy. Rotonda West is built in a circle with the roads crossing to the centre point like spokes. Our MC not only look after several houses in that area but live there themselves so could be back at our villa in 5 minutes.

Go to Publix bakery and get White Mountain bread or Chicago Italian bread, Both are very good, white crusty loaves, and nothing like the sliced "enriched Bread " sold in the plastic bags. They will slice it for you too. Yummy !

Sprint engineers who don't come when they are booked (and don't tell you they are not coming!!), long queues at MCO and coming home again.[msnsad]

The time it takes to get post from the UK to FL ( last chq took 5 weeks )

Hate Brits moaning about the place, food, drink, service etc! If they don't like it, go to Clacton!

Any place that has a UK football shirt in it. I will NOT enter!

Never had problems with workmen or timings, Having lived in NY and NJ. I found out the secret. If they mess with you, holler and shout at them at a quick pace!
They get a bit confused, and usually agree with you!

My pet hate has to be reversing out of a car park space and trying to avoid mowing pedestrians down!.[msnscared] This does apply to the UK as well, but more so in Florida as we generally have a larger vehicle (Durango) and trying to keep your eyes peeled in all directions is a nightmare sometimes.[msneek] Why do people insist on walking behind your vehicle when you are clearly pulling out. We do try and wait till the coast is clear but they just seem to appear from nowhere.
(Mind you, it does'nt help when we've been shopping and the car is loaded up and we can'nt see out of the back window[msnwink])
