I block the number straight away but next call is from a number one digit different. I've had St Helens x3, Fareham x2, Wigan and Glossop today. words removed. Luckily over here, iPhones and the phone companies now have finally got together and it will actually say "potential spam" on the caller ID. So the f*^kers have now started texting. About 5-10 spam texts per day. Give me a shotgun someone please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can register mobiles for the Telephone Preference Service. Cuts out all but the illegally operating spam callers. It really has cut them down to the level of me being amused by playing them rather than being constant, which is annoying 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it easier just to knock and wait 20 seconds to try and get rid of the parcel rather than filling in the slip and having to take the parcel back to the depot or wherever? If they don't deliver, they take it back and it is put on their run again the following day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 "I'm so stressed, I haven't got time to think, I've got so much on." Maybe if you STFU and actually did it you wouldn't be stressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if you STFU and actually did it you wouldn't be stressed. When I started working where I do, my boss had another bod and me working for him. He was always stressed like that. We'd say to him "Robin, we've got nothing to do" and he'd genuinely reply with "I'm too busy to give you anything to do". How the heck he ever made it to a managerial role , I'll never understand.

foreveryoung Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Talking bout Amazon, your right with the penalties. Most self employed get paid per delivery so don't want to bring nothing back, even if it means leaving it in a wheelie bin they will. Amazon, worth billions pay peanuts and now don't want to pay Visa credit card fees, so will stop using them? I wonder what manager decided that, trying to get a bank to back down, will be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I mean. Obviously feel sorry for anyone who has to witness something like that. Not sure my first reaction would be to sue for "unspecified sums" and announce it at a press conference, accompanied by a notorious ambulance chasing lawyer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that was from scratch. This is just a refurb. Presumably they're using the same contractors that made that briefing room at number 10 for over 2 million quid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
