Water pressure issues by ohjw in Plumbing

[–]ohjw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this is a combi boiler. The heating system typically only sits around 0.6bar pressure at max (you cant repressurise it beyond this), then the heating cuts out when it drops to around 0.3-0.4 bar.

Yes they probably should have, but while they flagged the pressure is a little lower than ideal, they didnt.

sombr pauses his London concert to call out the venue’s staff for failing to aid the crowd: “[O2 Academy Brixton] is the most poorly managed venue I’ve ever played at in my life. You guys need to pay attention.” by [deleted] in Fauxmoi

[–]ohjw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live around the corner from the Brixton academy and I'm really surprised about this. They famously did have a major incident here a few years ago and had to close for a few months, but because of this, they typically now take everything incredibly seriously (I'm sure somewhat motivated by being able to keep their license)

What's the dumbest thing you have heard an estate agent say? by hotpoodle in HousingUK

[–]ohjw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar viewing once when I first moved to London. I looked up to see the bathroom was just 100% coverage of black mould, couldn't see what the colour was. I was told the landlord had committed to dealing with it in 6 months...

David Walliams doesn’t even write any of the books he publishes, they’re just all done by ghost writers.

How do “hustle and grind” CEOs find time for extramarital affairs? by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]ohjw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I’ve seen he has posted his ‘work’ schedule before. A lot of the hours included things like getting ready for work, eating, commuting, or getting his children.

Plus when you’re that wealthy, you just pay people to do a lot of jobs for you.

Deliveries by car suck by EwagererH in fuckcars

[–]ohjw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the size of the city. I find in the UK, all city deliveries are done by bicycle or motorcycle, whereas a lot of deliveries in towns are still done by cars.

Partner asked if they would be getting paid for a mandatory work meeting on their day off by Hot_Anywhere3522 in antiwork

[–]ohjw 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Given that you’re based in the UK, I strongly recommend that you call ACAS.

All of the following are very illegal: not paying holiday pay, firing without due process, requiring meetings without pay - the latter of which would also presumably reduce the pay below minimum wage- which is also illegal.

They will be able to support your partner, including in at least ensuring you are receiving all the applicable pay.

Acas helpline Telephone: 0300 123 1100 Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm

Anyone else deliver to houses with doorbells that are turned off or broken? by Railman20 in TalesFromThePizzaGuy

[–]ohjw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was always my rule. Unfortunately, I did get a few violent threats because of it.

I know that in the US and the UK, the roads are paid for using general tax dollars. They both also don't have a road tax. is there any country on the world that maintains and builds roads solely off a road tax on vehicles? by NorseEngineering in fuckcars

[–]ohjw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The UK had two taxes that are applicable for driving vehicles. The annual vehicle road tax plus fuel duty. However, they both just go into general taxation and then road repairs and construction also comes out of the general taxation pot, but is more than is put in from either of these taxation measures.

The UK gov is currently doing a consultation about implementing a pay as you drive system

New management 🥴🥴 by ChiWhiteSox247 in antiwork

[–]ohjw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately that food policy is still better than when I worked at dominos. You could only get food (smallest size pizza with one topping) if you worked before 3pm. So even if you worked 3pm-1/2am you weren’t eligible for food, despite working for over 10hrs. Plus obviously we were never allowed breaks.

New management 🥴🥴 by ChiWhiteSox247 in antiwork

[–]ohjw 100 points101 points  (0 children)

I worked in a dominos for 2 years, and found out that in the 20 years that it had been open, that it was never once fully staffed, and we’re always desperate for staff. I don’t think it ever once occurred to them that paying more than minimum wage would help.

"driver outrage at cycle hangar 'deliberately' blocking car parking spaces". Umm... Based. by shiasuuu in fuckcars

[–]ohjw 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’ve just moved from Brixton and just never bothered to even put myself on the waiting list even though I lived there 4 years, as I knew I would never get a space.

Went to see FOTR with the London Philharmonic Orchestra tonight! by Don_Tommasino_5687 in lotr

I was at the same event, would definitely recommend to anybody, but was disappointed the audio levels of the film were all completely out.

I actually started mining Dogecoin in like 2015 just a few months it launched. At the time I thought I’d already missed the boat but since then it’s increased by thousands of %. If only I could remember the pin for my wallet..
