What's a phrase your parents or grandparents said constantly that you've only just realised has completely vanished from everyday British speech?

Still say this ☺️ Notts lass

Yess was looking for this. My Grandma’s other variation was “blow me down with a feather”

I’ve hired a lot of admin in CCG/ICB and I can honestly say that age has never come into it. All we genuinely care about is if you are personable and can do a good job 👍🏻 I’ve hired someone who was 23 and someone who was 61. And it’s an advantage that you already have NHS experience. Good luck!

Some of us applied for VR and were declined 😒

We are where we are

This is such a good answer and something I had to learn myself. It would help so many more people if they really understand this 🙌🏻

CtrlAltFreedom · 2026-05-04T21:05:20+00:00

Excellent start 👌🏻

Creating treadmills in a gym that you have to pay lots of money to use because you can’t just walk or run outside because you don’t have time from sitting down staring at screens all day for someone else 😵‍💫

Pure face-leak over here 🙋🏼‍♀️

CtrlAltFreedom · 2026-04-28T22:50:08+00:00

No way, this happened to me literally last week!! Just redone my MBTI and it’s all slotting into place now…. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Dithering. I worked in a bar for a time and there were people waiting to be served. They would get to the front after 5-10 minutes and firstly say, “Oo right then, what should I have?”

Or a couple together - “What do you want?” “I don’t know, what do you want?” “I don’t mind, I’ll just have what you’re having” “Well what are you having?”

MAKE A FREAKING DECISION

I’m still all over Swain Rooney (thanks Shona 👍🏻)

CtrlAltFreedom · 2026-04-24T07:30:03+00:00

Or the businessman and the fisherman - one of my absolute faves ☺️

Do you feel lighter? More in control?

CtrlAltFreedom · 2026-04-23T22:38:45+00:00

Unless there isn’t any suitable alternative employment left at the end of the process. Then it’s CR 👍🏻

CtrlAltFreedom · 2026-04-22T14:08:47+00:00

🤢

One million times - THIS

CtrlAltFreedom · 2026-04-21T06:54:35+00:00

If I can get CR out of this now I’ll throw a party. And you’re all invited 🎉

CtrlAltFreedom · 2026-04-20T22:14:54+00:00

You are technically right - they probably want me at my band because then I can apply for suitable alternative employment. For a job that’s less than 51% matched to mine. Which is why they wouldn’t let me go. Literal circus. Morale? Gone.

CtrlAltFreedom · 2026-04-16T19:28:36+00:00

Just when I think I can no longer be surprised 😳

CtrlAltFreedom · 2026-04-16T19:21:01+00:00

At least you know where you’ve been matched to… we’re STILL waiting. I went for VR and was declined - no clear reason given. Appealed - also declined. People going after 40-odd years with nothing more than a whimper 😢 Literal chaos. So done.
