What makes me laugh is when you buy a 3 year matured cheddar cheese that's got a 6 month sell by date on it ...
Returns from professional industries ie: hospitals, carehomes etc. All places that have to have a criteria for storing medication, costs the NHS millions.
Pisses me off that like, the GP surgeries and Pharmacists aren't helping either by not updating their records on repeat prescriptions after reviews. I handed 16 boxes of Trimethoprim back to the delivery driver last week, that will be binned although in unopened blister packs, it's an expensive antibiotic for Urinal tract infections. My girl was taken off them in May and still they are being delivered after numerous calls and communication. The NHS waste is a ****ing joke and the so called professionals are not helping one bit to that waste..
I am in Wolverhampton on business and there are loads of homeless all along the high street, and it has soup kitchen etc for them. whenever I see someone who genuinely seems down on their luck (rather than a professional beggar) I will buy them something to eat and give them some money. Ex forces people need help and I am appalled by the report today claiming that a forced charity has stockpiled £277m - why. my elder brother has mental health issues and a couple of years ago was a whisker away from being on the street, but with help and some rehab for alcohol dependency, he is settled in a home - the cost of which is ****ing ludicrous
Yet another one worthy of a thread, but no one posts them. Respect Colin Lee. BTW Brum has the most homeless people i've ever seen,
On a side issue I used to work in libraries from 1994-97...just before I started they used to break the spine of books and bin them once they were taken out of stock instead of bring sold off cheaply to punters...how ****ing mad is that?
should have sent them to me mate as i would have a box or 2 for just in case . My old GP ( now retired) would give me a scrip for a a few days worth so i could start on them if i had a suspected UTI while waiting for appointment / confirmation . No chance of that these days .
Hell you know they chuck food away if the packaging has been damaged (ocassionally see it on offer) but say a bag of 6 pack crisps has been ripped open that all goes in the bin as no one would choose to buy it. Madness
Don't they just flog it cheaply to costco, and the places doing discounts for NHS etc? I think you may find they do now.
they do mate, i know, i shop at the nhs store once a month, as my best mate is a paramedic. Just goota look at the dates on some fresh stuff, the rest pah, av it
My first job was in a supermarket. Within 3 months I had more cosmetic goods in my bedroom than a Boots They didn’t miss them which proves they had surplus.
