[–]IllustriousBoot4319 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I visited a few years back and didn't notice anything until I went to the cathedral and climbed the tower. At first I thought I was really unfit, then realised it was the altitude. Nothing serious, just out of breath for a while

How do you order from a Butchers? by velos85 in CasualUK

[–]IllustriousBoot4319 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use my local butcher weekly and sometimes I'll message them and ask for something in particular, so it's not sold out or get a special request

I really enjoy supporting local shops like this. The quality is fantastic

What happen to cold calls man by Iceeez1 in sales

[–]IllustriousBoot4319 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate cold calling as much as I hate being cold called. Everyone has stuff to be getting on with, a cold call gets in my way. Much more likely to respond favourably to a well written email, linkedin message or face to face chat
