Not even the very end, more the last 30 or more seconds. Yep, I've posted about this in the past. The yappy, boy/girl presenters who are SO "zany" just have to witter on about inane drivel. More serious stations like absolute radio are pretty good. Seem to be more knowledgeable and proper presenters who'd rather talk about upcoming gigs and back catalogues than drone on about Kim Kardashian and her latest nip slip or love island. Sarah Champion being my fave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't they make a point about brand v own brand (or lesser brand)? Don't they talk about things like actually looking at the prices of things, looking at multi-buys as well as looking at things like price per unit? I'm a little surprised at the sneering. It's not your M.O.. Yes they do. I wasn't being entirely serious, as is the usual tone of this thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted October 15, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 15, 2018 The number of comments on the YouTube of the press conference guffawing at Purslow's diction, and his correct Spanish pronunciation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted October 16, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 16, 2018 Unspecific time references. An out of office: "I'm out of the office until tomorrow" A sign on the side of the road: "Car boot sale this Sunday!" Well how do I know when you put that out of office on? Have you remembered to turn it off? When did that car boot sale sign go up? Have you left it up by accident and the boot sale was actually last week? Give me a date! (Snowychap disclaimer: no I'm not entirely serious. I realise that you rely on the subjects putting these things up and taking them down at the right time. It's really not a big deal) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to files at work being saved as things like "New holiday spreadsheet". Really?

Anyway, the cost is £32.84, I hand over two twenty pound notes and try and help out with the change by giving a further 90 pence. Of course, the woman behind the till gives me 6 pence in change and closes the till and prints off a receipt immediately. After a short discussion, I somehow end up being given £10.06 in change, which when I say that’s still wrong (in my favour), I’m told it doesn’t matter. What annoys me is the feeling I get like I’m trying to rip them off, even when I know I’m in the right. Oh well. Back to paying at pump from now on. I've given up "helping" people with this kind of thing. I've deduced that the till operators don't use their brains, or do maths, they prefer typing in to the till and reading what it says and then fishing out the resultant number of coins. For a £3.75 pint, they'd rather me give them a fiver and then they type in £5 and get told fish out £1 + 2 x 10p + 1 x 5p, then me give them 5.75 and them have to work out they need to give me a £2 coin. Don't help till people. It doesn't work. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the amount of times I pay in cash for anything is seriously dwindling these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not. But in the moment, it felt like giving her the opportunity to give £8.06 in change was an easier alternative for her, as opposed to £7.16 it could have been.
