She would much prefer a rest in the garden than burnt feet though, bless her!

I take that and raise you ‘let’s enjoy the hot weather’.
What, sweating twice as fast, getting sunburnt and heat stroke? What’s enjoyable about it being hot?

Sounds like my day at my old company
Director: How longs this project going to take you and your team
Me: sharp intake of breath - wow it’s a toughie try and get it done in 5 days knowing it will take a day at most. Deliver in 4 days ahead of deadline what a hero I am and have 3 days looking busy

The problem is that a lot of companies want to pay peanuts/think they know a lot more than they do.
Plus you then get people in their internal teams who think they know everything but are actually clueless.

It's all about the results though. When people see them they don't mind it.
I had one bloke who was paying somebody to get him ranked for something silly like "Carpenter in Coventry who works with wood" and he was like "they have got me top" ha.

Can't remember if I've mentioned it before but whilst we're on the subject - Clingfilm. Frickin stuff clings to everything except the subject matter intended. (Usually clinging to itself and therefore rendering itself unusable)
There must be some kind of online course dedicated to teaching a successful application?

I nearly reversed my hire car into Vesuvius!
Avis didn't bat an eyelid when I returned it with that dent, and the encounters with the scooter riders. I must have been one of the careful drivers...

stick a hair bobble or elastic band about a 3rd of the way down the packet. Game changer

Not surprised. On the whole the Americans are the most disrespectful tourists I’ve seen here.

I only had one 'disagreement' over there. Was buying our bus tickets to San Marino in Rimini, when the moment my Italian slightly wavered the seller switched to patronisingly slow English. She tried to persuade me that no tickets were sold in San Marino so we had to buy a return on the spot. To which the reply 'so how does anyone in San Marino get out' was shall we say not appreciated

You get a lot of ‘third party’ ticket sellers who try stuff like that to make a profit on the tickets.

A whole 20 minutes devoted to staying safe in the heat on the lunchtime news. Interview with the Met Office who had some sterling advice. But for that I wouldn’t have thought to drink water and was actually about to wheel my Nan out into the street and leave her in the sun.

The fridges in Tesco's Bedworth have been out for days now,nearly every time you go in 1 of the lifts are not working.The place is full of pickers making it almost impossible to get round.There are loads of goods on shelves not priced and when you get to the tills you have big queues and the wife still wants to shop in the godforsaken place.It's a good job you get 3 hours in the carpark you need it.

Then after they’ve made a massive bang and people look in their direction (thinking what anyway) they puff their shoulders out thinking they’re big time
I deliberately look at them dead in the eye and laugh my head off

Yeah it's the same at the Ricoh now.
I just do click and collect, let them go through the stress. I just load my car up and go.

People generally can’t be arsed to shop at two places (I can…).
So they rely on their variety bringing people in for the full shop.
Given how busy it is it works

Lidl/Aldi
Asda
Tesco
Sainsbury's
Waitrose /M&S. Wouldn't even think about it.

If tesco's had more efficient tills that could read barcodes better and in self service ones that didn't keep telling you something extra is on paid side when there isn't they would not be so busy.
If it's not an Aldi price match you will pay a lot dearer got my Sister in law vanilla excract (no extract no cakes for me) in Aldi. It's over double the price in Tesco.Many more I could quote.
