Which is not the aggressive "following people down the street and yelling at them" you tried to argue.

I think you are heading back to the 'all men are potential rapists' argument again. It's like that horrible 'male gaze' crap attitude from the 70's and 80's (and, sadly, beyond).

Sorry, former teacher, no such luck. Funny that earlier today you accused me of stalking your comments and you've deliberately come back not to make a point but just to toss in an insult at me!

Beneath all the righteousness, though, there's an important parallel with the referendum topic: once you open the door to sexist, objectifying comments and tell women who - perhaps for reasons they don't want to share on the forum -feel uncomfortable, that it's just banter they have to accept, not only do those women feel bullied, the what's ok / what's not ok threshold moves to the next level and the thing escalates. As in this thread, in fact.


One of the things I hate most about working in a large corporate environment is that a lot of what used to be overt is covered up that way.

*Bob* back in the day we could keep lame threads going for 6/7 pages, without drawing breath. You of all people should never underestimate the power of a ridiculous and overrated thread to spill over into personal arguments, petty squabbling and embarrassingly entertaining drivel.


So, on that note, when is our next cyber battle due to commence? I reckon we could top this thread length with a much less controversial topic. What do you reckon?

Can you do next Thursday?


I'll say something about focaccia and we can take it from there.

Otta : in the first place I did not know KK was female. Secondly, I did not say I disagreed. This was self evident as I did say that KK's 7.11am post made no sense - to me. Then skipped off to work and thought no more about it. So was not ignoring you, but oblivious to your question.

Actually, you called them 'disagreeable comments'. You say they are disagreeable, but you don't disagree with them? Yeah, right.

hello Loz : I found this 2 seconds ago. what is your problem with me? What does yeah, right mean? does that mean you have the high ground? you sound like Dionne Bromfield and about the same age. Was this irony? I looked up Yeah Right, the Cambridge Dictionary describes it as : 'used when you don't believe what someone has said'

Perhaps you could now look up 'disagreeable' and its many synonyms and realise that disagreeable and not agreeing do not correspond.

I cannot fathom your hostility, self righteousness and pure aggression toward me and my feelings and opinions : its baffling.

However I will not be disconcerted, but where I come from, posts like yours elicit the wisdom 'you are just showing yourself up' in happy, perceptive scouse accent.

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
