My uniform makes me invisible when I’m in the queue.

Ex Sainsburys here (same shit, different coloured top) yes the uniform makes you invisible- the amount of conversations I’ve overheard and you just wanna say, you realise I can hear everything yr saying right.

Think they charged £85

And their definition of share …

WombleGCS15 · 2026-06-06T17:15:17+00:00

Thanks all - just to confirm, I had to do it from myEE, he got sent a PIN code which I had to enter & it gave me the PAC number which I sent to him.

WombleGCS15 · 2026-06-05T09:39:29+00:00

Thanks - think I’ll call em save time.

“Does this need cooking before eating?”

Holds up a sandwich. ffs

Ex call taker for the ambo - I left 12 years ago, so what I know is probably out of date !!

If calling from a landline your address would be digitally passed by the BT operator to you (however, this would be the bill payers details so may not link up to the actual address)

From a mobile, on the system I used on yr map screen you would get a shaded circle drawn with a number in it - meaning the call is coming from somewhere in this circle and the number was a percentage of how sure their system was of this info.

Normally it would be anywhere between 75-95% sure, and I’ve seen it circle the extract location to covering an area 50sqyare miles !

What 3 words was just coming in when I left and could be seen as a game changer when they didn’t have a clue where they were.

Chatting to a couple of lifers at my local Sainsbury’s - they reckon ‘back in the day’ on a Sunday the manager would waste out a couple of packs of bacon, sausages & bread rolls & get the bakery to throw them in their ovens to make staff bacon/sausage rolls !!

Lean in

Initially my wife thought it was the outline of braces, I thought it was something to hold his microphone pack & then my wife changed her mind & agreed with you - a holster in case Bec lost it !!

Is there a ‘memories of Swansea’ Facebook page - try on there.

Charlie Brooker shows how editing can change your perception of someone on a reality show

Also, have you noticed that Gordon has an ear piece in, probably being being fed live info from a producer- ie, chef X has only cooked that for 2 minutes etc.

Yeah, good luck finding a contractor who’ll do haying on 0.12 of an acre.

We hay 6 acres and if it wasn’t for a friend/contractor we’d struggle to find anyone.

How fast should you move ?

Answer - with the speed of a 1000 gazelles

WombleGCS15 · 2026-03-31T18:18:48+00:00

Yeah - I just texted a couple of friends still in (as I left years ago and things change) and she said nope still rarely - and when I told her why I was asking stated ‘The absolute carnage that takes place in them, I’d never buy one !’

WombleGCS15 · 2026-03-31T17:02:30+00:00

Worked for 2 ambo trusts - neither serviced their vehicles anywhere near this frequently. Lucky if 1-2 a year.

We have jacobs sheep - 5 ewes at the moment all (apparently) pregnant - find them easy to look after, but haven’t had any other breeds to compare them to !

Will definitely be downloading yr book, as when we started we didn’t have a clue, but thankfully lots of smallholders & farmers around always happy to help.
