It's bang on the money. Could never seethe at my cats but when you get a cold, wet nose in your eye at 3.00 in the morning it's a serious FFS moment. Then you eventually find something they like to eat and the whole charade is repeated 2 hours later. Cute as feck though.

A neighbour’s car alarm on his fancy BMW has been going off at 5 minute intervals for the last hour. 30 seconds of the horn blasting away.

That old “British Mentality” why should I, They should all speak English to me 😂.

I post my ex mother in law down south little food packages occasionally of biscuits and sweets that she likes that are only available in Scotland. As it’s her birthday I bought a load and packaged them up in a box to post today to get to her by her birthday on Wednesday. £18 on the things in the box and a couple of quid on a nice card to put in the box. 
Went to the post office and to guarantee delivery on Wednesday it cost £17.50!! Or to have it sent as signed for would have been £26.

I agree, James

 

We found out the hard way that if you don't speak French here, or at least make an attempt, they just pretend that they haven't got a clue what you're on about.

 

Plus, it's only good manners.

Yes its only good manners to learn the language.  I have noted that the people who have attempted to or have actually learned the language are those who have settled in France.  There is a lovely couple who now have a restaurant in the Dordogne region.  They now speak fluent French.  However  there is another couple who set up a motor home hire company in France about 5 years ago and are now only attempting to learn French. Surely it should be a priority. They could have learnt the lingo during lockdown.  ?

Facebook. I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. But for me, it’s a great chance to stay in touch with friends and family that live abroad.

 

last Monday, someone on a page I follow, posted a picture of an Australian huntsman spider, on a house wall. This thing was ******* massive. Being petrified of spiders, I commented “I would burn the house down and start over”. Facebook banned me, pretty much immediately. I appealed the ban. Facebook admitted they made a mistake and removed the ban. Nearly a week later; they gave me a 30 day ban, for the same feckin’ post!

 

Arseholes!

That'd be quite an escalation in JKB mod tactics. No more thread bans etc, nope, just a strike team through your bedroom window in the dead of night, then off to some deniable military facility...

People posting pictures of innocent people, without their knowledge, on Facebook or Twitter for laughs. It has to be one of the lowest forms of wit. 

 

I seen one posted by one of these English football "banter" groups of a lad at the England game in a full kit with shin pads on. People are tearing into him from all angles.  He wasn't with a group of lads or anything and was standing himself. I immediately thought, this lad might be autistic. It might not be the case but even if he isn't, if that's how he wants to leave the house then fair enough. 

 

I would love to see the state of some of the people that run these groups. Stop taking pictures of innocent people in public and posting them online for your jollies.

I remember an occasion from many years ago when there was a meeting on the all weather at Southwell with really small fields.  All 3s and 4s and 5s.  The first 5 favs all won.  I went into the bookies after work and fancied the outsider of 4 in the 6th.  Maybe about 8s or so.  I put a small bet on it and it won.  Later on I found out the placepot had paid over £600 with 5 favs winning and me on the rag on the last leg.

Doing a shop in Sainsbury's earlier and needed some tomato puree and worcester sauce along with  few other things. Everything in a different place from where it was at the weekend. Was up and down the aisles like I was doing some strip the willow dance. Arseholes.

Done on purpose to get you to spend more time, and probably buy more stuff.

 

I buy less out of spite whenever I notice they've done this.  A complete pain in the arse, and I just get exactly what I've come in for.

Yup, deginitely a ploy to encourage impulse buys.

 

I have long running seethe with Aldi, and their desire not to be a modern supermarket,  but rather a throwback to how shops were decades ago. If you go there with a decent list of things (nothing out of the ordinary, just normal groceries) there will always be a few things you need to go to another shop for. So I have a new rule, if I can't find everything I went in for easily, I buy nothing from them and go somewhere else. I used to buy bits and pieces from them,  then top up at better shops, but I realised I was just enabling their piss-poor business model.

I’m retired from working in a major supermarket. Not Sainsbury.

It was originally, of course, a ploy to take people to products they didn’t normally buy, as when customers got familiar with the areas of the store that their targeted items were, they wouldn’t go into the other areas. However, it was eventually realised that big moves really annoyed customers and became a barrier to them being loyal to the company. Most people, especially men, want to be in and out as quickly as possible.  
I believe that although there may still be restricted moves within an aisle, supermarkets tend not to make massive moves of products to different areas.

I’m surprised that Sainsbury are still doing it. It costs too much time and labour when labour resources are being squeezed to unmanageable levels.

I understand why they've done it in the past but, as with yourself, really surprised that they are still doing it. It actually made me forget one of the items I was going in for. I think someone earlier said that they'd buy less just out of spite and I fully get where they are coming from. Just no requirement to do this when money is so tight and lots of people are basically on the breadline. Maybe these posts should go on the shameless profiteering thread.
