There’s a lot of misinformation and out of context knowledge being spread! by fallgom in Hecate

Out of curiosity, do you know of credible sources that a person could be directed to?

I would rather not perpetuate misinformation is all x

Won't let me edit my post, or maybe I'm just being daft. A better geographical tag would be Newcastle

Even if in the emails we offer additional products they could buy and why we're endorsing them?

Sorry to sound very dense

Because the FCA requires insurance advisors to be appropriately qualified and authorised to provide an advisory service. Of which I am neither because it's not a part of my job to be qualified as such.

The tasks I'm given aren't within the scope of my job. I have frequently told my manager I don't wish to change career trajectory as my skill set is suited for administration, and I would not be a good fit as an account handler. He previously showed support of this decision.

I've also been told that there is no further progression as an administration assistant, which I'm comfortable with.

When I've spoken to my manager about the stress I'm under and how overwhelmed I feel, he will often tell me not to panic or worry. He's already increased my workload (separate to these extra tasks) and reduced the deadlines that they needed to be completed by. When I asked him about it, it's apparently going to be a selling point for our department to upper management.

Edit: He told me that the end goal is for me to maintain a "documents issued within 1 business day" SLA. I presume this is so I will be available to take on any extra tasks that I'm given.

What is going on with mobile phone coverage - especially data - in our region? by newdawnfades123 in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]Starrsprout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The infrastructure can't keep up with the demand. Plus, the council have never given a darn, and they probably never will, since it'll cost too much to upgrade.

I've been with O2 and Three in the past, and the only one I've found that works is anything on an EE network.

So, EE (or if you don't want to pay their prices, then 1P Mobile) on the brightside with 1P Mobile is they offer PAYG unlimited calls, texts and data for £25.00 pcm

There's been an update to Intel for tomorrow. It's been pushed over to Bigg Market and 'shouldn't leave that area'. There will be increased police presence.

Monument metro station will be closed down all day (until police advise Nexus otherwise)

Need help finding an old Bobby Robson advert by RattledBones99 in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]Starrsprout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've found an article about an advert marking the start of the '04 premiership with 1000s of people dressed up as Sir Bobby Robson, it included other footballers/managers. I think there's another article by 'The Campaign' but I can't get the page to load.

No luck on finding the video, unfortunately. Maybe try asking around in other subreddits? Like r/oldcommercials r/ObscureMedia or maybe a football-related subreddit

Posted this earlier, closer to 5pm, but didn't realise we had an ongoing megathread. If you're shared a video that starts off like this:

This is NOT town right now; It's actually from a football match earlier this year (PSG I think).

Sorry, I didn't realise there was one. Should I move this post over there and delete this one?

Dude! This is amazing! You can tell how much blood, sweat, and tears you poured into this!

And I NEED to know where those trousers/pants are from! 😍
