Having our flu jabs.

What the fuck are you doing in a ‘spoons?

Having fun with some wanker declaring themselves to be from BTOpenreach and wanting to fix my internet as they have detected someone trying to gain access. Managed to string him along for ten minutes before fucking him off.

Cheeky scam cunt.

Such good sport :+1:

Plenty will two for it no doubt, handing over their access and having a programme downloaded that reads their banking password etc. They will then claim innocence when their accounts are cleared out.

Well done for putting money into the pocket of this appalling, feral, Brexit-promoting, staff-sacking-instead-of-furlough creep :+1:

At least it’s cheap, eh? And that’s all that matters…

double edged sword

As for venturing in to a 'spoons I know 2 managers of different branches, and 3 or 4 other people who are friends that work in my local one. Whilst the owner might be a twat and have totally disagreeable views, his company is supporting 1000s of jobs.

My 2 friends who are managers both left other pubs because Mr spoons pays better and offers decent career development. Another person I know took all he learnt from spoons career development and an inheritance and is successfully running a lovely pub on the East Coast.

that isn’t on my list of considerations.

“I go to the spoons for ethical reasons”, who knew that was a thing :thinking:

I’m sure the same could be said about certain people working for Bezos. Doesn’t stop him being a cunt or reduce the harm his business does to the economy and to people’s lives,

You are right
There is no way to make a point to Martin about his politics without harming his staff, and if he actually treats them ok it’s even harder

I’d love to think a boycott of spoons, jd sports, Amazon and Arcadia would hurt the tosspots in charge but it won’t, at least it won’t until thousands of their staff are hurt first

But still, ‘spoons???

Been given the complicated job of mashing spuds. Picked the wrong attachment to put on the hand mixer and now know that mashed spuds and purified spuds are very different cooking techniques.

The piss was taken.

Big time.

So more invited.

Could’ve been worse. At Settle someone gave me the job of stuffing baked spuds - emptying them, mashing the contents with cheese, putting it back. Dear lord, they might as well have made BoJo prime minister …

There is your mistake.
Just use a potato masher

I was there … and I think might have helped.

That would explain why no-one died.

Discovering just how much of a bunch of cowboys the people who fitted the windows on this house were. This was hidden behind a plastic strip.
