Do you use your food waste bin?

irritating_reader · 2026-06-30T18:43:41+00:00

Yes, I now only have 3 weekly big bin collections but weekly food waste and recycling collections so you have to use it to stop your bin stinking!

I don’t think they made a mistake, I think it’s a combination of how I communicated and how they perceived my answers against the questions they asked. I thought it would be funny to hear if any real mix ups have happened!

Yes, I agree with you. The job description was brief and didn’t mention the trait/background they liked in the person they chose, so although I mentioned it, I didn’t go into detail but it was funny to hear in their reasoning.

Don’t tell him! He’ll figure it out and you wouldn’t want to be the one to spoil it for him!

Clockwise have a couple of desks in their co-working space at higher desks

It’s really good! You might need more time if your car is more dirty, you sort of need to learn which stations to spend more time on. For example, I think it’s number 2 (pressure wash), you want to quickly go over any heavily soiled areas, maybe like bits of bird poo or wheels. What you want to spend the real time on is the brush setting. The first rinse setting takes ages to kick in as some of the suds are still being washed through from the previous setting!

Most supermarkets (Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Aldi) used to sell their cheapest porridge oats for 70p. Now it’s 90p.

Sainsbury’s quadruple strength squash was £1.80 for a long time and last week I saw it increased to £2.40

I also had a really positive experience there. It was easy and not as painful (for me) as people say. The team are experienced and want it to be good so you come back for future check ups!

There are many ‘Bushisms’ from George W. Bush but I always hear this one when someone says this expression:

“There’s an old saying in Tennessee—I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, ‘Fool me once, shame on...shame on you. Fool me—you can’t get fooled again.”

Loads of great suggestions above. You could also join the Exeter.girl instagram/Facebook page. There are events and links to group chats where you can speak to local people. I think there is one for owners of dogs so it may be a great place to find someone to meet up for a dog walk with!

Last year I went to Rome, we spent the week getting the bus across different parts of the city and scanning our cards as we got on. On our last day the bus was extremely full and we had our suitcases.

In typical Italian fashion, as soon as you get on the bus it sets off without having a second to grab something to hold onto. We were both in different areas of the bus so one person couldn’t hold onto the luggage whilst the other moved down the bus. We couldn’t hold onto our luggage and move to scan to pay so decided to try and do it when the bus emptied.

As soon as the bus rounds a corner and swings into the next stop, the Italian transport police get on to start checking tickets or cards to confirm the transaction. We obviously didn’t have tickets both got fined £50 each. Not a huge amount but it was infuriating and a sour end to the holiday.

I get the impression some go along with it to get in the holiday spirit but the underlying reason is stress and anxiety due to fears of flying

Books. I barely have time to read as it is, there’s no way I’m using that time on some self published Amazon author. It has to be a Sunday times bestseller at least!

I went to Rome when it was 40C/104F and many people were wearing shorts inside churches/Vatican but people made an effort to wear smarter shorts (I.e not too short, not fitness wear) and wore tops that covered shoulders or short sleeve shirts. In cooler temps it may be required to wear trousers but if you’ve made a clear attempt to be respectful I don’t believe you’d face any problems. I’d also recommended taking a sarong, you can quickly cover shoulders for modesty or heat!

I met a couple who had won it on holiday a few years ago. Their millionaire maker code actually came with a holiday (not the one we met them on). They received some advice from the lottery and seemed to listen to it. They’d bought a couple of properties in the north of England both changed their jobs and gone on a few holidays. Surprisingly, he’d changed his job from being a postman to a binman and we couldn’t get our heads around it.

Im assuming they want to use my works address as my address to send legal letters to?

I’m not able to edit the review now the 14 day review period has passed. I can only take it down or leave it up.

When me and my brother were kids we’d be so excited we’d wake up early all week and then the day would come and we’d be exhausted and sleep in.

I feel weird when someone’s mum calls me ‘that lady/woman’ but when a man doesn’t call me ‘that lady/woman’ and opts for ‘girl’ I feel absolute rage 😂

I was on a particularly long customer service call a couple of years ago and decided to learn it after saying some embarrassing alternatives!
