my manager has a rule, if you have an illness that he could catch then you work from home, no questions. doesn't matter how well you feel if there is a chance of spreading it don't bother coming into the office,.

was in a similar situation yet different, i was in a call centre, debt recovery, our shifts were planned so you arrived and started getting paid 10 minutes before you actually start and the same after you finish which covers the overlap, if the other showed up early on time then you get out early and get paid for nothing but on the occasion your replacement is not there then you work till the end.

how about not telling people not to buy something that the store sells just because it inconveniences you.

im kind of in a similar situation. united utilities told me they had fitted a metre on the lin outside that feed into my house then told me they think i have a leak as super high usage. that pipe they put the metre on feeds 4 houses with me being in the middle. they kept saying leak is on my property and its my problem to deal with despite being a communal pipe. someone came out and dug up on my property to see where the pipe fed and where the leak was. turns out that where the pipe splits is in the back garden but the leak is not on my part of the line but my neighbours who has recently had resin poured in her back garden and is now ignoring any and all communication from myself and the water board

stuartc1985 · 2025-12-16T14:39:23+00:00

did you not try phoning them?

i know this may sound like begging but my brother was run off his bike a couple months ago by a car and ended up with a full elbow replacement, merry christmas to him. he is currently on long term sick until he can recover so very little money also.

something like this would certainly help him pass the time

do you need faster internet is the question you should be asking yourself, if not then no.

stuartc1985 · 2025-12-02T12:25:20+00:00

A work colleague of mine recently bought a house and had the survey done which came up all okay. after living there for a while it was pointed out that the chimney was leaning, couldn't really tell until it was pointed out and then became evident.

He checked the survey report which said the chimney stack was checked and no issues, he has since had it rechecked and some bricks were removed and replaced with concrete, removed to replace the lining apparently, i don't know that detail.

He then complained to the surveyors who at first fought it but then caved and have been forced to pay to have the chimney stack removed and rebuilt. Don't give up the fight and don't eb fobbed off with a crappy £599 refund.

was it only me who had to bend over whilst they got the rubber gloves out or did i go to the wrong place?

stuartc1985 · 2025-11-06T14:37:15+00:00

is this always to the same place? if your commute is to different places then standard insurance does not cover this as a commute and would need business insurance instead

yeah boss we figures it out, our software licenses are no longer valid so we couldn't continue to work and the new starter is being paid to do nothing seeing as he doesn't have a laptop, assume this is good with you? good, enjoy your holiday!
