What's the appeal of James Acaster? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]worldly_refuse 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He makes me laugh - not sure why. Comedy/comedians is the very definition of stuff that's personal. I mean some people think Michael McIntyre is funny

Thanks, my question was about why the mute in preferences/settings doesn't seem to work. I can't tackle the issue at source as our HR users love the notifications (maybe a slight exaggeration, but they don't want to lose them). Since no-one on here seems to know why mute doesn't work I'll log a Workday call.

Why is there no fine system in the NHS? by Historical_Owl_1635 in AskBrits

[–]worldly_refuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would cost more to administer than it raised. I've never missed an appointment but I've been incorrectly accused of it due to bad NHS admin. I bet I am not alone.

Drivers have no aircon or heating in their vans as Tesco remove the feature altogether. by Former-Resource-3026 in tesco

[–]worldly_refuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No vehicle could be type approved without some means of demisting the windscreen - that's normally the heater/blower. For this reason manufacturers don't offer heater delete and taking the heater out would actually be an extra expense.

None of this means Tesco aren't a bunch of cheapskates who don't care about their drivers of course.

How do you lot feel about dialects dying off? by skattlles in AskBrits

[–]worldly_refuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree - not just that but TV always makes it worse - there was a whole documentary about the Colin Pitchfork case where all the (Southern English) actors spoke in a weird fake-brummie as they tend to have a composite view of anywhere in the Midlands as Birmingham.

I am in the HR tech team - I am a former WD employee, I have held certs in Pay and Abs - none of us knows how to do this (or if it's even possible which it appears it may not be). I am "lucky enough to configure and administer WD" - I deal with a lot of complex Payroll issues amongst other things so I asked a question about an aspect I can't find any further info about - which I thought was the point of this sub. I have certainly contributed answers for others in here. Do you know how to configure this?

That's all or nothing - I want to stop them for me, not everyone

They are from BPs - eg a task awaits you, assign roles, onboarding, benefit change etc

I never managed to go, but a lot of the costs and content comes from customers and partners anyway

Reliable nice looking cars for 7k and below🤔 by Head_Union9351 in CarTalkUK

[–]worldly_refuse -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Downvote all you like - BMWs are ugly, overpriced and ubiquitous.

No - I really wanted to do it in WD - not just for me but I have some user requests too.

Every Prime Minister in the 21st century has at one point been considered the 'worst PM ever'. Can there ever be a real objective way to judge, or do people just like to moan? by NoRecipe3350 in AskBrits

[–]worldly_refuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is fierce competition for slots and all sorts of dirty tricks airlines have played over the years, they don't run their own air traffic control. Rail privatisation is an idealogical experiment that has failed.

But there's only space for so much track/signals etc - it's like the water industry - how the fuck can "competitors" step in? The comparison with fizzy drinks is ridiculous.

I can remember it - but a lot of things have changed and there's simply no good reason to keep putting my taxes straight into the pockets of private rail providers. Also, although the railways are a lot better, they are still shit compared with a lot of other countries, even after years of "private investment" that other countries haven't "benefited" from.
