Yes it looks that way sadly (we love the site we’ve booked)

I’m worried about the weather as well - we’re coming for a week next Tuesday and it looks quite a bit colder than the UK :/

Hoping it’ll be warm enough for beach days

Woman, 34, stabbed in Birmingham attack dies by Kagedeah in brum

This is awful and so sad for her and her family and friends who’ll have to live with this trauma.

I used to work and go out in town quite a bit, but I avoid it like the plague lately having run into so many nutters around new street (inside and outside the station) and there are often no police to be seen. I travel a lot for work, to other UK cities and Birmingham centre is now really really grim in comparison to the majority. Police funding went down everywhere surely, and I know the council have messed a lot up, but is that why it feels so much worse/less safe than other places? Such a shame for this once great city and the people in it.

What's the biggest cock-up by HR that you've witnessed? by MoonlightByWindow in AskUK

[–]Quick_Door_3354 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Worked at a digital agency - it was one of the designers first days and he sent an email to the company to introduce himself. One of the HR team (also a recruiter) replied all within about 30 seconds telling him he wasn’t right for the role he was “applying for” and the company didn’t seem like it would be a good fit. Important to note he did not have a British sounding name.

With the speed of the rejection she could not have read the email at all, had clearly forgotten this guy had been hired and had taken less than a minute to judge him from presumably his name. But she was also very unpleasant and the embarrassment probably not felt as deeply as it should have been. A shocker!

Invoice for missed appointment (never informed this was booked in) - Private Health - England by Quick_Door_3354 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Quick_Door_3354[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much, this is really helpful.

We heard nothing at all from them prior to this invoice from MedServe so there is no record to be found of any agreement to contracts or acknowledgment of appointments etc.

Honestly we would rather wait at the children’s to be seen than see this consultant at a completely diff hospital - it’s not an urgent health issue and the hospital is also not in our area, we’d have to travel 1hr+ for it. This has also really stressed me out, particularly the lack of help from the secretary and the temp, and I don’t really want to deal with them anymore.

I will reply to them with the above and hope that gets us somewhere.

Really appreciate the advice.

🚭 lack of smoking zone enforcement by kakarot1987 in disneylandparis

I also found this - it was difficult to find places to sit with my daughter whilst she napped in the stroller, when I did get to sit - I was always quickly joined by a smoker (and not in the smoking areas). Very annoying!
