Borders and maps are weird for kids, I have a strong memory of looking at an atlas on a car journey and worrying about the barbaric wasteland of Ireland not having a single road.

When I was a kid I couldn't bear to look at maps(road maps) - they looked like peoples' insides to me and made me feel sick.

Genuinely the best way to shut me up as a kid on any kind of journey was to make sure there was a map to hand. Also, topically, allow me to express my withering disdain for NHS unions and members therein, for settling for the first barely-reasonable offer to come their way. We just got our "here you go, shitbags" pay increase, and now we get it flaunted in our face that we could have got more if we'd stuck at it. No lessons will be learned.

TACD posted:When I was a kid I remember hearing on the radio that the Soviet Union was breaking up, and I assumed this meant a colossal chasm had opened up and physically torn apart the continent of Asia. I was shocked that the news didn't seem to be talking about the millions of people that must have fallen into the hole. I asked my dad "does this mean they'll have to redo all the maps?" and he said that they would, which to my small brain was ironclad confirmation of the chasm theory. Lol, this is a good reminder that when you think a child has an uncharacteristic insight into something, they're probably actually thinking some totally different bullshit

I wouldn't disagree that the Kite festival could be described as the Idiot conference, but it's definitely more in the vein of the "can't we all just get along" centrist kind of idiot rather than the GB News loving Brexit junkie kind of idiot. Jay was booked to do his standard musical comedy for kids set at the festival, in the children's play area. Obviously associating with that could still be beyond the pale for some, but I thought it worth mentioning since I think there's a difference between playing your non-political set a multi-day festival that has a weird centrist throughline vs performing at some turbo-chud event where you're warming up the crowd for Laurence Fox.

Thats a 4 level stack with an extra feeder level. They have the best throughput of any free flowing junction. Almondsbury at the m4/m5 is one, and when its not blocked (from the idiot designers who thought a separate junction on the sliproads was a good idea, causing people to have to alide over 5 lanes in less than one hundred metres). A better one is the one at the m4/m25 ans the m25/m23 which dont have those problem. Compare that to the mess that is the m50/m5, where during the malvern festivals cars are forced to brake from 70 to 0 on the motorway to queue for the terminating roundabout i know which id rather hace.

Anyone know if Lloyds Bank penalize their 'chat' staff for not getting a perfect score? Just had a very helpful person answering my questions but ultimately unable to assist as it seems to be a tech-related question that I'm going to have to visit branch for and so I was really not able to say they were able to answer my question as they did not know why the site wouldn't do what I wanted. I put 'strongly agree' wherever I could.

Technically they did nothing wrong, so unless there's a specific "my issue was not resolved" -> "have to be in person" / "outcome not possible" option I tend to just say yes they were flawless.

Is that additional eggs which are wet, or the same amount of eggs but wetter? This is important.

Coming from experience in multiple contact centre environments, anything less than a perfect score isn’t good enough as far as the metrics go. If they were genuinely helpful put in the max, if they were loving awful put in the minimum, if you’re indifferent either max it or don’t bother at all because even no rating is better than an imperfect one. In my middle management days I spent hours arguing with our QA team to get imperfect ratings overturned, more often than not because for whatever reason customers regularly rated agents 1/10 and then left a verbatim comment like “super helpful couldn’t have asked for more”. Presumably they saw the 1-10 scale and decided they were so helpful that they were definitely number 1! Without really considering why the scale then went up to 10. The verbatim comment is the best place to get granular about it if you really want to tell them agent was helpful but they couldn’t solve your problem because of organisational issues.
