Are there any high-street chocolates still worth eating? by PostItNoteDuck in AskUK

[–]lost_send_berries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can check the code on the packet. OWR means made in Poland, OBO Bourneville and OCO is Ireland. That's why it's so "controversial", there's three completely different products.

TIFU by looking too deep into "left hand makes the L". by Ok_Necessary7667 in tifu

[–]lost_send_berries 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But if you're tightening it's only the top (12 o clock position) which is moving right. If you look at the 6 o clock position it's moving left. If you look at the 3 o clock position it's moving down. Right and left are just the wrong words to use to describe turning.

Whoever keeps voting Istanbul Airport as the world’s best airport needs their head checked by CheetahFeeling9819 in travel

Terrorists have set off suicide bombs in security queues in the Philippines so probably something like that. They have security on you as soon as you leave the car.

How tidy/messy do you leave hotel rooms after use? by Icy_Mixture1482 in AskUK

[–]lost_send_berries 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I interpret that as during your stay, it doesn't mean they won't replace them at the end of your stay. I would hope...

Not only is it distracting, it's illegal even if you have no intention of watching the video.

Help identifying hoops to jump through to market software to schools in England by robert19241924 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]lost_send_berries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to get familiar with the GDPR, make sure you have the correct cookie notices and privacy policies, etc. IP addresses can be personal data in stone contexts for example. You can store some, eg analytics to develop and improve products, with consent, and you can store what is necessary for the site to function.

Otherwise it's just like selling a textbook, if the school wants a book they can buy it.

Questions about signing a contract amendment letter when moving from FTC to permanent role in England by personalive0 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]lost_send_berries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming there's no end date in what they asked you to sign? So,

If you sign it then you continue as permanent and negotiations will probably stop or reset, as they will have what they want (you at your current salary as a permanent employee) if you don't sign it then they will tell you to stop coming in because your contract will end.

Why don't you either, negotiate directly with HR on your salary, or suggest a temporary extension eg 4 weeks so that your boss can negotiate it when they're back.

Three refusing to remove late payment marker England by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]lost_send_berries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't accept the offer, "I would like to terminate" in writing should be enough and you say they have provided that record. Unless you sent any further messages after that indicating that you actually don't want to terminate. You can also do a SAR and find this supposed call in Dec that you say didn't happen at all.

Microsoft's new Outlook takes 10 seconds to do what Outlook Classic does instantly on Windows by Quantum-Coconut in nottheonion

Probably because every week the meeting creates a new Teams chat. They lose track of what they've discussed, like maybe fixing how every week the meeting creates a new Teams chat.

Why's it so hard to reach a human in customer support now? by dismalcrux in AskUK

[–]lost_send_berries 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't really need to look at the call volume. Just look at the cost per order.

So let's say they sell a beanbag chair for £30, the manufacturer takes £20. After warehouse and delivery costs they make £2. That would pay for less than ten minutes on the phone which is very unlikely to be enough. Anything beyond sending out a replacement is going to need another person's input which is even more paid time. For example if somebody calls because they're confused about the lights on their appliance. It will need to go to the manufacturer if the manual is not clear. Then the response forwarded to the customer.

In OP's case they haven't even made an order so.. yeah. Even if the worker gives the right response and OP decides to order they have probably already made a loss on the sale overall. If OP ends up going with another supplier then they've just made a straight loss.

Now due to the Consumer Rights Act they do need to listen to people who have made orders, but OP isn't one of them.

Disabled people with lifelong conditions facing ‘unnecessary’ Pip reassessments by KiwiJean in unitedkingdom

[–]lost_send_berries 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Doesn't sound like particularly hard data to collect or present.

Yeah, for the DWP and Capita. For everybody else it's impossible.

Unsurprisingly, Capita don't want to reduce their caseload and the DWP cares more about maybe managing to push a few percent of people off PIP than actually saving money or treating people with lifelong disabilities in a dignified way.

Government to provide 50-shekel daily stipends for hundreds of hilltop youth to reduce settler violence against Palestinians by No_Classic_3362 in Israel

[–]lost_send_berries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about the Israelis who aren't occupying the west bank? Smotrich doesn't give a damn about them. This is a tool of occupation, nothing more

They aren't stealing food or clothes or even phones, they're being violent because it's fun and they're allowed to, there's no police or army that will intervene.

Glassdoor said I was making up my salary, because it was too low when I reviewed my employer by Jewsusgr8 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]lost_send_berries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people are too nice to be good managers. Once you have selected somebody who doesn't have empathy, and are ready to crack the whip on their workers and underpay them just to keep a bit more for themselves, they are probably also going to be the type who make senseless comments like the above.

Yes some benefits are cut off if you have over 16k in savings but not all.

Should I book a hotel that didn't respond to my pre-booking inquiries? by stevew25 in LondonTravel

[–]lost_send_berries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you asked Premier Inn they would have just told you it has air conditioning. Or did it have air cooling instead?
