If they're refusing to fix their own mistake, I'd jump straight to requesting a chargeback. Debit unfortunately.They are arguing that the size is correct as states between 9-11 years old but it looks like it will fit a 6 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 read their returns policy, think I've seen a site before claiming you can't return personalised gifts but I thought that because you hadn't seen the physical product you could return pretty much everything bought online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I always wondered what hell would be like. Well, Sainsburys at 4pm today was it. I only wanted a sausage roll! Nearly started swinging haymakers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) You ever have those moments where you want a big hole to swallow you up. Just been to a pantomime up the social club where my wife works. We were front row seats and the people doing the pantomime kept interacting with the audience. I fell victim a couple of times and then they tried getting me up to do the makarina. I nearly died.

theboyangel Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Can't wait for 2016 to end... Crap news about Carrie fisher, hope she pulls through. Just watched her on the 8 out of 10 cats Christmas special and then this news filtered out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 SInce when did office hours sneakily gain an extra half hour. Been recently applying for jobs and most are either 8:30-5:00 or 9:00-5:30. Obviously companies want productivity to dip further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Unless you are a teacher and lucky enough to get 8:30 to 15:30 with an extended lunch break then I thought it had always been 9:00 to 17:30 ? Certainly that's been the norm all my working life 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 My first job (started in 1997) was 9:00 - 17:30, which with an hour lunch is the standard 37.5 hour week. My current one s 9:00 - 17:00, 35 hours per week, but in reality I do many more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, it wasn't just the amount of people, but the staff had left loads of those trolleys they carry around the stuff for stacking shelves with all over the place. I hate supermarkets at the best of times. But that was horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 In 30 years I've never known it be anything but 35 to 37 hours official. More if you want to 'get on'. But yes, agree on the point about productivity. People will expand tasks to fill the time. I'm lucky to work somewhere small and privately owned. When there's a shed load of work, I do a shed load of hours. This last week, I rolled in late, went home early and Thursday lunchtime declared I'd see everyone in the New Year as I'd 'finished'. It's quite impressive how tasks can be turned around when it's finish and home, rather than finish at 5:30 regardless. ----- In other news, I've just been to the supermarket. Definitely quieter than expected. The staff were pulling down the Christmas decorations and peeling the star and snowlflake stickers off the windows! I reckon by mid afternoon there'll be displays of easter eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I work 7 till 3:30 5 days a week. I get paid an 8.1% supplement for working 40 hours as it's 3 hours more than my contracted 37. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
