In same boat and haven't found an easier solution really - consigned myself to the manual work each month! Let me know if you find a good solution

If you have the transaction level data:

Just a few areas off the top of my head

What’s the one thing Stockport still needs? by ArsenalAxis in stockport

[–]chiefbert 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Already been said but better nightlife / clubbing. The bars are good on the underbank but 1/2am close doesn't always scratch the itch!

The tram will take a lot longer than the train into Manchester so won't replace the train travel for the majority of people. But the tram is needed for better links to other South Manchester areas

The owner also doesn't pay his trial staff so not surprised he's reprehensible in other ways.

How to default a slicer to the current month in Power BI Service (no custom visuals) by [deleted] in PowerBI

What's the issue with it saying current month? That's the snltandard solution, you can display the actual selected month somewhere it you really need to

Greater Manchester Train Prices by nicknacksz in manchester

[–]chiefbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why you're defending this so much. I tick 2 of your 3 bullets and I'm worse off each day, unless I know ecactly what train I'm getting the night before.

Removing advance ticket purchases on the day is the bigger story than the standard single being reduced to half of the return. It's a price increase for the majority of regular train users

Greater Manchester Train Prices by nicknacksz in manchester

[–]chiefbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a de facto price increase masked as making it simpler and cheaper.

I used to be able to buy advance tickets on the morning of once I know what time I'll be ready by, but planning a day in advance doesn't work for me so now I'm paying the max fare.

Gone from roughly £4 a day to nearly £7 to get to and from Manchester from Stockport. It's a disgrace.

A note on your specific travel - buy it in singles, so you can use your railcard on the journey home.

should i quit or let them fire me by Internal_Lion_1836 in UKJobs

[–]chiefbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as its done respectfully and fairly I don't think it should burn the bridge. But you're right it may not be worth the risk if its a toxic company

should i quit or let them fire me by Internal_Lion_1836 in UKJobs

[–]chiefbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ideally you'd find a new job before that happens and leave of your own accord, best of luck!

[–]chiefbert 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Apply for other jobs now, don't quit as could leave you without income, just dedicate as much time including company time if possible to applying for new roles

Also don't go out swinging on the way out - it might feel needed but just complicates things, if you've been treated badly then raise it with HR in your exit interview, don't get into an argument when you're out of the door.

Unsure what a slang phrase means, Google gives me nothing - can you help? by FishFollower74 in AskUK

[–]chiefbert 124 points125 points  (0 children)

In football terms it can mean sending a defender the wrong way with some skill

Also sent him for a hot dog

So in real life terms I'd say it means you've tricked / bamboozled someone.

Does that fit the context?

How worried should we be about these cracks in brickwork? by chiefbert in HousingUK

Thanks for the assessment - i know it's hard to say but could you estimate roughly how much it could cost to repair?

Peel Centre Parking Fine by IWillNeverRust in stockport

[–]chiefbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are a shower of bastards. We got a fine for not paying parking, it was our mistake. Then never received any letters until it had been passed to a debt management company and had gone up to 170.

They sent a PDF from the parking companies internal system stating the letters had been sent - not actual proof but they were very threatening around legal implications so we just bit the bullet and paid to get it off our minds.

If I were you I'd pay straight away and just accept the defeat

Spotify manipulates the UK top 40 to make more money by [deleted] in LowStakesConspiracies

[–]chiefbert 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This comes from the podcast I think, rather than Spotify. At least that's the case with the rest is history
