Oh that's a good idea


Well, until a parent like me 'Accidently' rams their fist into your teeth


Then, not such a good idea

In my experience Nette if you use the self service checkout and try to bag up as you go along you immediately get the " unexpected item in bagging area" if you try to use your own bags you get the same as system doesn't recognise extra weight( even if you press" using own bags ?") if you scan something and don't immediately place in bagging area you get it , I've shopped in Sainsburys nearly every day since I moved to East Dulwich and have got it down to a tee (with the help of my 12 year old son,who would qualify as a personal shopper/scanner )I have occasionally answered the phone while said boy has been scanning and may have been fastidious with my packing in my recycled bags , sometimes after spending the day sewing it's the highlight of my day (no really !)(It's the half price wine..) I could send boy over to help you with your shopping/scaning if you like ,he only requires a chocolate bar for helping and you will get extra nectar points as when scanner asks "did you use your own bags ?" He always presses yes and then when it asks" how many" he presses 9 ...has been caught by extra vigilant staff occasionally though...

But generally they turn a blind eye as he is so efficient and he also finds ?8.43/?2.47 etc vouchers off your next shop on the floor ...in fact thinking about it I might start a post on the forum advertising his skills, hmm...

That's just rubbing salt into the wound.

apologies in advance but...I was waiting on El Pibe to say 'Na' : /

Finding out only after signing a petition on a local matter promoted on this forum that in fact my details have been used to create an account on the Southwark LibDem website where I have options to 'join the party', 'help out or donate', receive updates every time they update the site etc, but NOT DELETE MY OWN DETAILS. I can't bear it when people aren't up-front about what they're using your details for.


Have shared my views with the OP already in the ED Gossip section but still seething.

A "food and hygiene" inspector arrives at a local take away establishment... bullies his way through to the back when the kitchen is exceptionally busy... still wearing his rain coat, no special clothing appropriate to the environment and completely disregards any thoughts for safety in the kitchen... all rational you would think...


in response to being politely asked to wait a moment "don't worry I have patience. It's not like I have a job to do"


getting irrational...


in response to my comment "there's no need to make such a comment"... A SHRUG!!!!!

    • I was lucky that I received a student grant from 1990-1995 first 3 years for degree and 2 years post graduate bursary. Both were based on my income and I did not have to pay back. Eldest daughter got student loan and after 20 years managed to pay it off, Youngest daughter still paying hers 18 years later. Granddaughter - still paying after 6 years. Grandson decided against FE and secured an apprentenship. I am glad that I am an old codger and not young anymore !

    • It is not only Southwark - our grandson, partner and 7 year old had a one bed council flat for years in Harlow Essex and all the properties offered were in poor condition. They eventually took a property as if they refused another one they would drop to the bottom of the Housing List. It was damp and in need of a level of renovation. Having lived in these conditions for a while they were offered better council accommodation recently, but further away from child's school. They had to pay 2 lots of rent for a few weeks as council had to undertake work in the new premises before they could move in,
    • Just had an interior decorating job done by Andy. The final outcome looks lovely and he did some remedial work at the same time to fill in gaps in the ceiling (due to previous electrical work) and to remediate any similar areas to ensure a polished overall look. Would highly recommend him for any similar job, he quoted a very reasonable price for the job as well. Thanks Andy!
