Rent-to-Own~Any horror Stories?
by purplesofa ini have a rent to own on a computer, i was under the impression that it would be paid off in a year, year rolls around and they say i owe $529.00 more dollars.
ok, now i find out i owe for another 12 weeks.. missed a payment and now they come over to pick up the merchandise with the cops last night.. the cop did not allow them to pick it up, i was under the impression when they left i could pay today, but my daughter said ......no, mom, they are coming to pick up the computer today......at 6:00. i did tell the cop i would be home at 6:00, but to pay, not for them to pick up the merchandise.. what are my rights........i am honestly embarrassed to say how much i have paid for this computer.. i just wanted to add.
this week has been hell.

Purps,
I don't know anything about the particular contract you've signed up to, but you need to be rid of these parasites as soon as possible.
Used PC's cost pennies these days.

What would be much better is if all my friends and lovers could just relocate and be with me, then I wouldnt have to rack up the phone bills.
Maybe so, but just think how much a bed big enough for us all is going to cost!

The Bridges of Shropshire County
by tim hooper inwith apologies to clint and meryl........ .
actually, inspired by that remarkable film, i thought i'd have a bash at depicting some of the bridges near to me here in shropshire, uk.
all but one of these pass over the river severn as it wends its gentle way southwards through the nearby countryside, on its way to the sea at bristol (some 100 miles away).. .

Last one for now!
The original Woodbridge was demolished years ago and replaced by a modern steel strructure that was designed to pay homage to it's better-known big brother at Ironbridge.
That boat has been there for the last 25 years that I know of....

The traffic used to pass over the Ironbridge was diverted many years ago a mile or so downstream. The new bridge there caused a furore when it built. Personally, I rather like it!

Juni,
You're being way too kind!
Anyway as the river heads south, the main road has to pass over it at several locations.
This nameless bridge is near Attingham House. -

The jewel in the crown undoubtedly has the be the Ironbridge itself!
Built way back in 1779, this is the worlds very first bridge to be made from cast iron sections, and to this day no-one seems exactly sure how those mammoth semi-spans were cast and erected. There are no bolts in the original structure; every joint was dovetailed and wedged in true woodworking fashion.
The bridge was closed to motor traffic some years ago, but is open to pedestrians and sight-seers.
Photographically, it's been thrashed to death and it's very hard to get an 'original' picture of it. As the bridge lies in a valley, it's not often that the rays of the sinking sun actually get to illuminate it to its best advantage.
I was lucky the other night...... -

So down to the River Severn we go!
There's been a bridge at Atcham since Roman times, and now there's two lying almost parallel to each other. Nobody seems really sure about the dates, but this beautiful multi-arched bridge dates from the 17th century.Although this bridge is still structurally sound, in the 1920's it was considerd to be too steep for the motor cars of the time to cope, so it was joined by a flatter, concrete-made companion.

This first little bridge is the exception though, and strictly speaking it's not really a bridge at all, but an aqueduct! Built around 200 years ago to carry canal boats as they made their way from the mines to the river, this little arch is less than half a mile from my house.
The lane that passes beneath, was (until the 1930's) the main road between Bridgnorth and Wellington until it was bypassed by a new road system. The aqueduct then fell into disrepair until it was restored to something of its former glory 8 years ago.
