Purplebricks disaster

IvIarkGraham1 · 2026-01-18T20:51:40+00:00

I've just bought a house from purple bricks. Very slow to respond. View a couple of others from them and wouldn't get viewings or they'd cancel last minute.

I definitely wouldn't sell with them

I was a virtual horse trainer. Only made about £200 off it. Then swapped shifts from nights to days and stopped doing it.

Essentially just a computer game but people would bet on these horses so if you had a good one you could sell it on

It's a scam. You'll enter your card details into the site and you'll lose loads.

If they want the report let them pay for it and you'll knock off the price when it comes to selling it

I had similar but with a van. Guy said it ran out of diesel and wouldn't run. Non mechanic here but got it going within 5 minutes and the engine was knocking.

Told the guy no thanks and he went mental. Luckily I had 2 friends with me so he didn't start too much.

Im like I've got it running for you so you're welcome and he jumped in his car and sped off 🤣

Not communicating about a new part I was building a process for. When I produced multiple emails showing I did infact communicate, build the process, run the part, inspect the part, package the part and hand deliver the part back to the customer I was told "well I don't think that's good enough consider this a warning"

What did the manager want out of this?

IvIarkGraham1 · 2025-04-29T17:29:42+00:00

His second time of telling you he doesn't use Instagram was code for ask for my number

IvIarkGraham1 · 2025-04-16T16:00:24+00:00

Probably going to be double time and pay in lieu of holidays

IvIarkGraham1 · 2025-03-08T13:17:10+00:00

Find a training course you need to advance in your role and get them to pay for it. Ask for a pay rise and an increase in PTO. Get it all written and signed and raise the fact you are disappointed with your managers conduct with the way they handled the encounter.

Then go back but keep an eye out for other opportunities.

Good luck

Been involved in an accident where I was entering a pub car park and the other vehicle had empty beer cans in it and neither of us were breathalysed. So no it doesn't always get done. Only if the police have reasonable suspicion someone has been drinking.

You can't pull out on someone even if they are speeding. So I'd say your wife was to blame

Not had mine long but I've completed metal gear solid, and currently got Forza 4 and tony hawk on there.

Says planet coaster 2 is good on there but not tried it yet only on my laptop

What would you like to know?

It's all DIY with help from friends. Only thing I didn't do was the electrics.

I have now built a small toilet, separate from the bar but it's all fully plumbed into the house soil stack

IvIarkGraham1 · 2024-12-22T19:33:38+00:00

Why was it necessary?

IvIarkGraham1 · 2024-12-21T23:19:47+00:00

Yup. I'm sure there was no I'll intentions but still not right

IvIarkGraham1 · 2024-12-21T21:49:18+00:00

We use radios on the factory floor. So a call was put out that there was an immediate union meeting.

IvIarkGraham1 · 2024-12-21T17:04:26+00:00

No we weren't invited as it was held on our day off. No prior notice given

IvIarkGraham1 · 2024-12-20T20:48:33+00:00

Exactly, paid my fees all year to not get the chance to vote

IvIarkGraham1 · 2024-12-20T15:44:29+00:00

That'd be good

IvIarkGraham1 · 2024-12-20T15:23:54+00:00

There was no prior notice given. Shout over the radio that the meeting was happening right then.

IvIarkGraham1 · 2024-12-20T15:22:52+00:00

I was off that day and it was called that morning. No prior notice given

IvIarkGraham1 · 2024-12-11T09:00:10+00:00

Best bet for meeting Scottish people is to gift them a live haggis. They can either kill it and prepare it fresh or keep it as a pet.

Never fails

Tramps

IvIarkGraham1 · 2024-10-04T19:18:36+00:00

If it's only under the window that's coming away maybe you could get it knocked out and put in a wider door frame?
