If you want something else to be angry about....3 defibrillators have been stolen on the Island in the last few weeks. I have recently taken a course on using defibrillators and CPR (I'm certified ) as I thought I should be able to help someone if I would hope someone would help me. This may force defibrillators to be locked away....therefore wasting time whilst the code is transmitted. These things are virtually valueless to anyone....apart from the scissors and med kit also enclosed. You kind of hope that these morons (or someone they love) are the ones that suffer from this stupidity.
Feeling very disappointed with the company I work for. This morning, at their distribution centre, we received a delivery of beef mince and beef steaks. The first two pallets of steaks showed signs of having been feasted on, by rodents. The staff opinion was that the entire delivery should be rejected as there was a distinct possibility that products that hadn’t been gnawed could easily have been urinated on, contaminating the packaging. Management decided to pick out the gnawed packets and keep the rest. Potentially the cases could contain the rodents that caused the damage, and they could now be residing in carnivore heaven, in a chamber filled with thousands of pounds worth of meat. Disgusted.
What? I am constantly amazed by the unthinking, idiotic behaviour of some people ...... fair makes my blood boil
Maybe a certain smallish supermarket chain that originates from the Fatherland. To be fair we have never noticed anything like this before, but given the very high profile news stories about meat suppliers, in the past few months, I think everyone needs to be whiter than white with regards to food hygiene in all cases. It would be ironic if the attempt to ensure sales aren’t as lost, as a result of shops not being supplied for 24 hours, causes more losses should the delivery had contained some stowaways that would now have a free run at whatever they fancy.
Somewhere to avoid eating. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/159...giene_rating___but_the_council_won_t_say_why/
My friend runs an (exceptionally good) curry/Indian Street Food place here in Brighton. He told me that to get a zero star rating, you'd almost have to wipe your arse with the naan bread and send it out. So yes. Avoid!
If anyone has an Amazon Echo or whatever it is which connects to “Alexa” (you can tell that I don’t have one, I was at my boy’s place this weekend and he showed me this little trick), ask her if she believes in Silicon Heaven (watchers of Red Dwarf might know the answer). I take my hat off to the developers, they’ve obviously covered all the bases!
I'm flying back to the UK next month and thought I'd hire a car for 2 weeks from Heathrow. Easy? well yes. Then they say I must present at the desk my passport, my driving license, a code from the DVLC that proves I have no penalties in the last 21 days, a credit card with a limit up to 1500 pounds and 2 official letters from a utility or bank with my name and address on delivered within the last 6 weeks. The DVLC code is easy enough on-line, but I've just had to order a credit card and who has paper statements these days? So just had to order those too, delivered to my dad's house so he can send them to me in Serbia. (and I have to pretend I live with my parents for 6 months a year) So not so easy.
I’m going to remember you have a mate who runs a curry house when I eventually get down to Brighton... you can introduce me.
