Not sure that all things French is the nirvana that you think it is
The key part of the story is that the UK doesnât have the storage so we export it to Germany and the Netherlands and then we reimport it when we need it
The cost of storage is obviously added on, although there would be a cost of storage here as well
We donât have the storage because the Government decided to close down the Thistle Field storage and buy on the open market. Not a good decision.
Old established Polish Industrial organisations start at 7 am so have to be on site at 07:15 each day for training and to have someone on site collect me from âsecurityâ meaning an 05:45 alarm call
See COVID thread.
Just packing up, ready to sneak off early, and someone contacts you with an âurgentâ problem
Leave earlier- problem solved
No charge.
After pleasant evening with friends on Emsworth, being shoved off the motorway at junction 7 on the way home.
WTF are they closing the motorway for now - theyâve only just opened the cunting thing!!! perhaps changing it back to a normal motorway from a smart motorway - anyone know?
Took over an hour to get home on a 30 minute journey, and had to suffer passing through 32 sets of traffic lights getting to the other side of Southampton!
When I was a young man we used to have competitions travelling from one side of Southampton to the other without being stopped at traffic lights. There are now twice as many, and itâs no longer any fun.
Queuing for priority passes for Disneyland, Paris even though we have booked them ahead of time.
The irony is strong in this oneâŚ
Speedy boarders deserve ridicule.
Ever since me hand luggage disappeared into the hold because I happened to be the last on and the rest of the overheads were full. Which sort of defeats the point of travelling hand baggage only. As a result I am speedy boarder all the way.
I now ridicule those who are kicking up a fuss because their hand baggage is hold bound
Someone at work was explaining the various types of priority pass you can get at disney
Apparently the priority pass doesnât give you priority over someone who has bought a better priority pass than you - or something like that
Robbing bastards was the phrase that came to mind
And when did they start charging for parking??
This would also suggest that you are going to be queuing to use them
Theyâre for my daughters, surely you wouldnât begrudge them that especially having me as their fatherâŚ
Theyâve worked well so far
Iâve now realised that actually it is easier to order the 10kg checked bag
1> It is cheaper than the speedy boarder, allocated seat, 10kg cabin bag
2> I can put booze in the 10kg bag on the way home and just wear everything.
3> If there is a spare/empty seat, people next to me rush to take it to avoid the great unwashed leaving me more room
Packets of crisps.
How much longer before we are asking for a packet of crisp? The packets are getting smaller and smaller.
I remember Mars bars being the size of a small family car.
Donât start me on Wagon Wheels
I thought the makers would rename then out of sheer embarrassment.
