"Possibly" Off-Topic but its like yesterday when myfriend, accidently, broke the microwave plate. Was she handing you your arse on it at the time, Tony?


Still "polite and funny" at the same time Maxie.


Thats why you'll always be The Forum favourite...your certainly mine M8;-)

the fact that annaj CONTINUED reading DESPITE her assertion that she found the experience "really unpleasant" seems, to me anyway, a little unconvincing


Oh, honestly, Ladymuck, I can't believe I'm bothering to answer this, but since you seem to be implying that I either masochistically forced myself to repeatedly check a thread I didn't like, or that I'm lying and it didn't really offend me, but I reported it anyway, either of which would be frankly a bit bonkers, I feel compelled to respond.


Here's how it was: I kept an eye on the original thread, because I thought it was interesting, but I noticed it was starting to go down hill a bit. I then went away for a bit and did something else, you know life stuff, and later came back to look at the forum. I noticed there had been lots of activity on the thread, so I read through all the posts since I'd last read it. As I read them I was troubled by an increasing feeling that it all felt a bit wrong to me, so I posted to that effect and reported the posts to the moderator. Then I went away and got on with my life. That doesn't seem that unconvincing or weird to me.


Please, can you just accept that I, and others, think that on this occasion a joke went too far and get over it.


Now...


Surely then, it's all the fault of the women who buy these trashy mags


I know you were joking, but there may well be something in that.


But I'm only allowing myself and half hour lunch break before it's back to the books, so we'll have to discuss that one another time.

I'd be interested in joining you for that debate, as I have serious concerns about magazines like Heat and Reveal and Closer and so on and on and on


But I am freelancing so need to do some actual work


And also, I need to do some actual work on my seeming (seems madam?) joylessness

I think this thread has been blown out of proportion a little bit.


There is nothing new or controversial about a bunch of guys letching over female TV presenters, and teasing each other over their tastes. Women are no better, a lot of the time.


The real controversy is that there appears to be different selection criteria for male and female news readers.

But Moos, surely for any woman going for a job as a 'Page 3 stunna' that's just confusing...


(though I suspect most 'Page 3 stunnas' would even find tying their shoelaces confusing).

    • Hello. Would you like a sofa bed? We have one to give away…photos attached. The scatter cushions are not included.
    • Complaint submitted.  Your helpful link took me straight to the relevant page. 🙏
    • I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience    
    • Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
