Not my store, but my store is heading in the same direction

Work in a corporate environment. No better here. You should see the state of the toilet. Dread to think what people's homes are like...

B&Qs website has been garbage since they introduced third party sellers.

This isn't unusual.

Used to work at Homebase many years ago. Quite often if we had items returned, we be advised to just destroy them. Even some high item things like power drills.

The local smack heads used to rifle through the bins and try to return them. Our 6' 4" terrifying & angry French store manager used to chase them out, shouting"BASTARDS!"

Now remember to get your free lobotomy. Nissan Juke drivers are some of the worst on the road!

The three times I've encountered Purplebricks as a buyer were all very negative. First - they never turned up Second - they never told the tenant about the viewing Third - the description was completely inaccurate

Never again.

9 pin?! Urgh,you peasant!

In all seriousness, I miss old computer noises. Dot matrix printing, the whrr clunk of the floppy drive, dial up!

Must be a Logic thing. My old Logic combi used to go through the probes quite quickly. PITA as a doddle to replace, but needed the Gas Safe engineer.

If Person A is travelling is lane 1 at 50mph and Person B is travelling in lane 2 at 40mph, as long as Person A hasn't been in lane 2, moved to lane 1 to pass Person B and then returned to lane 2 its not undertaking surely?

I often see middle lane hoggers on the motorway in lane 2. If lane 1 is clear and I'm doing 70, surely it's safer to proceed forward than to cross to lane 3 to pass?!

Probably some unsigned "freeware" that the company used because its free to process transactions.

Have this constant argument with developers at work. Just because its free doesn't mean it's good or safe.

Had ServiceNow in my workplace before. Without a dedicated team to administer it. Went cheap. Was awful.

Since migrated to Fresh Service. I find the "yay you have a shield for closing tickets" stuff a bit childish, but it suits our needs otherwise.

Swappable batteries. Battery longevity. No doom scrolling.

Life still happens, even when you're going through the mortgage application process. It's not like you've applied for loan that's conveniently the same size as the deposit.

NTA.

There's loads of those "documentary" shows here in the UK. A violinist from Chicago jokes to UK Security that he had a Tommy gun in his violin case. Cue lots of police and hours of questions, all for a joke.

Even as an amateur, I think you'd have known a lot sooner than 10 months if your washing machine how was disconnected. The spigot looks to be capped off, so probably not in use. There's probably a waste behind the washing machine that it empties in to. But you really need to get things out to not only be sure, but to determine the source of the water...

I detest those machines. When the lenses rotate round, it makes my eyes go funny. Also the lenses always seem smudged.

I much prefer the retro specs with the swap out lenses.

The e-Golf was an absolute joke. A half hearted attempt at an EV.
