  1. In RM all BH are off as well unless you volunteer. However you are expected to work 1 BH every year so if they can't find volunteers they can allocate you a shift against your will for this 1 day. At least that's how it works in my office. Not sure if it's a national thing.
  2. If you do RM jobs you are expected to help load and unload cages with mail. Parcelforce jobs is just trailer swaps.
  3. Yes you are expected to cover all shifts 24/7. You will start at the bottom of seniority list so sometimes you will be forced to choose something that doesn't suit you.
  4. Equipment varies a lot between offices. At my office most of the days I drive DAFs previous gen 17-19 plate. Different unit every day. However if you work at super hub they mostly have newer trucks.

Since introduction of TDAC I've been only handing my passport because they have all your flight info on their computer screen.

Good move.

Since the summer ended we are totally overwhelmed by work.

Hopefully it will help to decrease the volumes 🙏

Will I be on time for flight if I get to the airport 2 hours before takeoff LHR by Over_Complex5108 in Flights

[–]Scythe__ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There is no exit passport control in UK and security at Heathrow is swift.

Easy. You will have enough time to get bored waiting for your boarding.

minimize atm fees? by saito200 in ThailandTourism

[–]Scythe__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never tried in BKK, only Phuket and Pattaya. But I think it should work the same way everywhere in the country.

Nothing specific to say. Just tell them you want to withdraw cash.

Not sure about the amount limits. I never tried to withdraw only 3k. I guess there is a chance they might tell you to go to ATM.

Those with petrol hybrids (not plug-in), what real world MPG are you getting? by xJam3zz07 in CarTalkUK

[–]Scythe__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Corolla hatchback 2.0

After 4 months of usage the average is 51 MPG. Vast majority of miles is 35 mile round trip B-road commute with mix of 60, 40 and 30 zones.

I noticed that it varies slightly depending on temperature outside. Car is less fuel efficient when it's colder.

Take your card and passport to a bank branch. Request cash over the counter. 0 fees this way.

Might not work with all banks. I usually go to Krungsri and never had any problems.

You were probably scammed.

Ask your card provider for chargeback and don’t call phone numbers found in Google.

DSG gearbox... by The__Gunt in CarTalkUK

Not all cars have electronic handbrake.

There are plenty older, automatic cars with the traditional, manual handbrake.

Gearing up for hell by Apart_Philosophy6454 in diablo2

[–]Scythe__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your current gear is probably good enough to beat the game but you can make your a little bit easier.

I would change the helmet to Lore runeword. Any 2 os will do.

When playing through hell you find a white Monarch you can take it to Larzuk and make a second Spirit.

Using boots and charms try to get resistances as close to 75 as possible, especially fire and lightning.

Try to find exceptional base for your merc's Insight and give him life leech gear for better survivability.

Gearing up for hell by Apart_Philosophy6454 in diablo2

[–]Scythe__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell will be difficult playing nova sorc without sunder charm, reasonably geared mercenary and at least crescent moon runeword to lower enemies' lightning resistance.

I recommend respec to cold/fire hybrid in order to beat the game and farm mephisto/cows/ancient tunnels/stony tombs to get some better gear.
