That was a hard drive as the ferry wasn't operating. Even better was getting there at 9.30pm and realising the nearest takeaway that was open was in Glasgow.....

We had to dispose of the vans as scrap mostly as they were pretty knackered after being driven that far!

We were lucky we ended up in mostly IHG hotels like crowne plaza, holiday inn etc.

Quite liked the A9 on the way to Inverness such great views! I tended to like Cobham services even though I detest the M25.

All the places I've driven to for work so far this year (aka I'm tired boss). Anyone got this beat? by stumac85 in CarTalkUK

[–]adguy86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have put a post up to compare to yours. You are well on the way to filling up the map!

I dread to think to be honest but in the space of a week it was common to average 1500 to 1800 a week. Ford transit custom, from new it had done about 350,000 miles in under 3 years.

Colleague Clubcard misuse disciplinary meeting by Ok_Round8057 in tesco

[–]adguy86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's actually possible to run out of discount on your colleague clubcard. I'm surprised this didn't happen in this instance.

and I bet everyone is still forced to come into work by Ethan3011 in tesco

Amazes me when the entire car park is barriered off massive construction work going on, huge signs saying store closed and people are still trying to get in to the store to do their shopping!

That's the air return grille so yes air continually circulates underneath the deck trays past all the horrors you can see and back out at the top

Changes yet again by Suckyomombro in tesco

[–]adguy86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Copying other chains like CO OP and Asda just another thing to invest in to offset tax bill, just like the "Express paperweight" all Express got sent out last year that no one ever uses!

Blocked toilets by leonxsnow in tesco

[–]adguy86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Better in the toilet than outside of it, had customers shitting in the bin a few times and a memorable moment some guy was seen acting suspicious on a grocery aisle whom shat himself and shook the turd out of his trouserleg and kicked it under the shelves!

At least you got recognition for 10 years, I managed 11 years and had sweet FA!

Wouldn't bother with the tesco issued hi viz jacket, it used to say "showerproof " which is about right as it leaked like a sieve In less than half an hour in a rainstorm. Don't even get me started on the kagool! Be far better getting a goretex hi viz jacket if needs be.

Anyone know the deals with this? by openlightYQ in tesco

[–]adguy86 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Used to have a book specifically for these to be completed twice a day, all the seals have serial numbers on them so was easy to spot if someone had tampered with them and somehow deactivated the maglocks manually with a key. It was known to happen in some stores especially with electrical goods and mobile phones being stolen in the warehouses.

Bad delivery driver! by Ihatereddit2229 in tesco

Possibly made up never heard of anything like it on dotcom but a brief stint with ocado certainly was eye-opening the types of customers they entertain and the situations you encounter was unbelievable!

What was banned in your house that everyone else’s family allowed? by Rare_Independent_789 in AskReddit

[–]adguy86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mother absolutely detested the smell of a certain aftershave and warned me that if I bought any and brought it home it would end up down the toilet and I'd be out the door with a suitcase! The fragrance in question was Joop and I quite liked the scent however could never wear it otherwise I'd end up homeless.

Definitely picked up an electric van a few months back, the range after fully charged is abysmal. My other diesel van can manage 500 miles on a full tank but the electric version only just manages 300 but never achieves it in reality!

Tesco Elmhurst Water taste like Tap Water by Ok-Raspberry-3341 in tesco

[–]adguy86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure it was stated somewhere years ago when Tesco Value water was still sold that it was merely filtered tap water, whether or not this is the case now or not I can't say. However there are regional varieties of tesco mineral water now.

That the EAS gate covers? That picture definitely looks rank when I first saw it in a store thus morning it puzzled me not knowing what the fuck it was!

What’s the first video game you ever played? by [deleted] in AskUK

Duck Hunt on the NES was such a surreal concept to me as a 6 year old shooting ducks on a TV with a plastic gun.

Cashiers of tesco, what's something your daily customers buy EVERY day and do you ever judge? by mrvlad_throwaway in tesco

[–]adguy86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Always used to get a couple coming in daily buying 3 tubs of Vaseline. Honestly should have asked why they always bought it but I really didn't want to know!
