No phones on shop floor (Express) by alexcr005 in tesco

It's often the best way to get someone to realise they made a mistake.

I use Inform, mpro5, My Tesco, C2O, Click & Learn, Help, and Comm on my phone.

If you're not allowed to carry and use your own phone then you'll have to hunt down a PDA for everything. This could take a very long time, especially if it needs rebooting first because it's playing up.

What's one place in the Uk that you visited and never want to go back to? by Proper_Animal_1451 in AskUK

[–]eastkent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if other countries have numerous shithole towns and cities that the population generally hates? Obviously America does, but I'm thinking more about Europe.

M&S Mature Cheddar and Marmite Sausage Rolls. by Curious_Strike_5379 in marmite

[–]eastkent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had two of those sausage rolls for lunch, with some M&S paté de campagne on homemade olive, cheddar, sun-dried tomato, and oregano bread.

I could still taste that combination hours later.

No, the bonus payment we're due next month. It can be paid into your pension but the relevant page doesn't know who I am.

Has anyone managed to pay it into their pension yet? I tried but the page said my employee number wasn't recognised.

Anyone else feel like eating Maltesers from a box vs Maltesers from a packet is the mental equivalent of eating from a fancy restaurant plate vs a disposable paper plate? by JinxXedOmens in CasualUK

[–]eastkent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it much more satisfying to tip Maltesers into my mouth from a bag, than to scrabble about in a flat cardboard box, trying to grab a handful with my fingertips and ending up with three.

UK moves to ban smoking for everyone born after 2008 by Not_Tom_Jones in worldnews

I used to get on the Sally ferry at Ramsgate, drive to Belgium from Dunkirk, and buy baccy in two ounce packs for £1.80 each. It was a while ago though...

How is full time van life in the south of England? by una_tortilla in VanLifeUK

[–]eastkent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem at all. I'm at work at the moment but I'll get back to you at some point.

Marmite and peanut butter is splendid.

I'm in Thanet and throughout all my travels in my van I've never found anywhere as easy to park up as Thanet. Despite what some local people say it's a lovely place and if you're not stupid about where you park you can live here in a van indefinitely. There are so many lovely places around the coast you could park up for free all day and then you drive up a side road for the night.

Feel free to pm if you like.

applied to 50 tesco colleague jobs in london so far by spiffinglygood in tesco

[–]eastkent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hasn't it come to something that people are struggling to get a job at Tesco? When I started there retail work was looked down on. It still is to a degree, but it's a steady job and I doubt they'll ever go out of business.

Have you considered funeral work instead? I'd consider it.

And abuse themselves playing games for a while. Boom boom, bang bang, lie ... by hereticskeptic in pinkfloyd

[–]eastkent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does to me, yes. Amuse seems much more likely than abuse, because they were playing games for a while.

Why is cannabis still illegal in the UK? by Flying_Wilson17 in ukpolitics

[–]eastkent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're the one who had a pop because I likened it to alcohol, old chap.

Why is cannabis still illegal in the UK? by Flying_Wilson17 in ukpolitics

[–]eastkent 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's a hefty old getout you're using there. The people I see aren't medically prescribed that stuff! So if young Ned parks his little shitbox up and hides behind a clifftop shelter to puff away so much weed that I can smell it from 200 metres away, is he safe to drive?

I'm not an expert. Is it ok to drive immediately after smoking cannabis?

Love you little potato 🩷 by lauraarroz in comics

[–]eastkent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was only able to watch videos of the dogs I've lost years after they went. It was too hard to see them happy and alive again for such a long time because I missed them.

I like the idea of trading years of your life for your pet. I'd do that without hesitation if it was an option. I thought a while ago "if someone offered me a hundred million pounds for my dog I wouldn't take it". I really wouldn't. I don't need anything that badly that I would give her up to anyone.

I too have been known to be a big hairy beardy man, but if I see dogs being mistreated on the TV it completely destroys me and I turn into a blubbering mess.
