If I were poor and hungry I would simply buy a sack of potatoes for 50p or however much they cost.

Not me personally, I still don't trust the French declaring them safe to eat, but the Irish have been subsisting on potatoes for centuries and it never caused any problems there.

Anyway, off to put my elevenses on my expenses account.

It's Megazorb horse bedding and seems to be great although it's the only one i've ever used so can't compare it to anything else. My corn loves burrowing through it when it's fresh, but he's heavy now so compacts it pretty quickly. It's easy to spot his shits and pick them out and lasts ages between changes.

Redwood isn't trying to suggest a solution, he's just taking a dig at the mythical army of Useless Managers sucking up all the NHS's money. We must starve the NHS, you see, to show them how useless they are. Everything will be ok once the useless managers are gone. What's that? You're asking who decides what gets cut when money is short? Don't worry about that

Both our cats love to play in the snow and be out until the temps go below -10C, then they also like to come in and warm up. He might also have heard a mouse or something down there.

Small dilemma

Got an amazon delivery today- driver didn't knock, just opened the door and came in the place, left the parcel in the hallway then left as I was legging it up the hall to figure out who just walked in

normally the door is locked but one of my kids had come in a few mins ago and not shut it yet

complain and risk the guy getting in poo poo with a poo poo company, or not complain and the guy risks getting his poo poo kicked in when he tries that on the wrong house?

IMO leave it and mention it to him next time you order something..
It's a small godsend for him that he could place it inside and save him a minute or two, no doubt has 1000000000 more to deliver today.

Amazon driver ripped the door and lock off my shed to put a parcel in there, I complained and made them buy me new lock and a new cordless drill.

Amazon guy round here now just leaves everything on the doorstep without even knocking, so I don’t know I’ve got a parcel until I get the email that says it’s been delivered (and always marked as “handed to resident” :v: )

I’m letting it go until something gets nicked, tbh.

Amazon have been doing that since day 1 around my area.

It's been about a year or so since they started delivering and I think it's just a monopoly policy rather than anything else.

I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon have run the numbers and it's more cost effective for them to have their delivery drivers dump and run than refund/replace the occasional parcel.

I mean, where else are most people gonna go to get their stuff.

Terry knows what he can do with his bloody chocolate orange...

There's one specific royal mail delivery driver around here that will toss packages over the garden gate into the garden and not leave a note. They don't email confirmation of delivery either. I'll only find them 3 days later in my garden (and obviously it's been raining).

Royal Mail were taking the piss yesterday saying things were inaccessible day after strike actions. I don't mind but atleast leave me the card so I can collect the loving thing instead of waiting another 3 days.

Also, curious to know:

Fresh Full Cream milk always runs out in the stores near me, every single day, yet skimmed/semi skimmed barely gets touched. I'm interested to know if you guys see the same in your local areas? How much of this fake milk goes to waste?

Probably just data where people have pushed the average by dumping and running so you now have to do that if you want to hit the targeted deliveries per hour.

You can always tell a new amazon delivery driver or shopper as they are panicking, buried in a million unlabeled boxes and tearing paper bags filled with 50 tins of beans, and they still knock. Then after a bit you never see them again as they adopt the dump and run strat.

Capitalism really is poo poo.

Company Christmas party this year at a big event place and so many stressed out tired looking staff running ragged trying to find the vegan roast dinner who I just wanted to help somehow. Cashless, no tip policy at the space though which was quite poo poo.
