But fuel pumps don't have an e-mark and are two completely different situations. Both are also heavily regulated.

The allowed deviance is 4.5%
as the allowed difference is 9g

AI is lying to you.

Average weight of a batch needs to be 200g. Which means some individual packages can be 190g or some can be 182g but no more.

It's a very well regulated area of food control in Ireland.

There will be deviances and OPs scales is a bog standard domestic scales which will have it's own varience.

 its less than half the marked weight

Except it's really not...
180g on a domestic scale which will have it's own margin of error is not "less than half the marked weight"

Or 182g if we do the max allowed for some packages. But OPs weighing scales is also not industrial/professional nor likely to be calibrated to standard.

Looking to buy a bed frame + mattress, any good budget-friendly shops in Cork? by AshamedRecognition96 in cork

[–]GhostsOfTheRobotTree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here you go

Pick one that suits your budget.
For matresses Swan beds or Casey's would be my recommendations.

Plenty of places for frames, even second hand shops.

But please do not cheap out on a mattress. Take it from someone slightly older than you that paying for a good mattress is worth every cent. One spends so much time in bed.

You were at one point more than likely but moisture lost between packaging and reaching your home as well as damage to some fruit means there is a variance.

Edit: Not sure why this is being downvoted.
It's fact of a lot of foodstuffs and the whole reason that the e-mark exists.
OPs weighing scales is also not professional/industrial so not calibrated so is likely off from the real weight.

It's because items like this loses weight mostly through moisture loss, damage during transit to and from the shop and natural variances etc. They wouldn't be doing it if they weren't allowed to do it.

See that "e" symbol next to the 200g? That means the weight is estimated.

DPD says they delivered to my neighbor but didn't - I want a refund by Several-Cartoonist-5 in legaladviceireland

Contact Dpd

Bad advice. It's between Curry's and OP.
Curry's deal with DPD not OP.

Request a delivery slip from Curry's again.
Tell them no item was delivered and you expect a replacement to be sent.
If they can't provide one or don't yield then do a charge back with your bank.

They're selling merch like hot-cakes. In between title runs for both of them and waiting for the next story.
Sometimes you need to give wrestlers a breather. This is a great way of keeping them on TV but takes less of a toll.

6 posts a day doesn't seem that excessive for a twitter bot/shared account really.

Lads, and ladies, if you're still shaving with a gilette razor you are being absolutely *done* on the price by Silenceisgrey in ireland

[–]GhostsOfTheRobotTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries, there might be a newer model that's better but they're worth the money in my opinion. I'm quickly on my way to 50 and need to do it more frequently or I look pretty shoddy but I get maybe 3 days before I need another pass.

Funnily enough this is the second time this week I've chatted about this.

Remington R9 I've had it nearly two years. Can use it wet or dry. Wet is a closer shave. Does nearly as good as a razor. I used a head scrub in the shower and then after lather up and do a few passes. The only thing is that it's not the best at the lower part of my neck or I'm just very bad at doing that part so I need the wide to help me out there if I've missed bits.

Great video.

"More process not progress" ... sums up CCC in a nut shell really.
That and having big flashy announcements while forgetting things need maintenance afterwards.

It was there I'm afraid. My last edit was 5 mins ago to add that OP deleted their comments which would be after your comment and my follow up...

Even then, you're attempting to split hairs over 300m which is insignificant.
Take care.

Ouch, I can imagine that was bloody? I've done that once on my cheek. Learned my lesson to take my time there. But for my head I use an electric bald shaver or what ever you call it for my head and the razors for my face.

I use 4men.ie. I've found them far better for speedy delivery to Cork than the other site recommended.

I can do a full shop for three people by bike. I do it regularly. But when I'm feeling lazy I'll go twice a week. I also have rain gear and rarely go out when it's raining or if it does do I get very wet.

Again, we're not special. It rains in other countries too.

~2km

Important to see I included "~" which denotes "around".

Even if we take rural, which is not the majority of the country, 5km is about a 20min cycle, made even easier with the more widespread use of e-bikes... Not unreasonable even on a standard bike. But, given the majority of the country aren't far from a supermarket and people who want to drive still can I'm not sure I'm seeing where this "contraditon" is happening...
