Ordered food on BK app. Supposed to be £18.96 and charged £29.44. They've added tax onto the bill which isn't something you normally see in UK as normally the price you see is the price you pay.
No idea. Literally just says the word tax on the receipt and charged a fiver. Was supposed to get a free Chicken Royal but been charged for that too.
Went online and their chat not working so says to email them. The email address they give isn't recognised though...
Was that the cafe next to the chippy, if so I think it was all sold and there doesn’t look like any more let’s for shops yet, even my optician has packed up, he was there for a very long time as well.
Have you tried the cafe at Drylaw shops next door to Baynes bakers.
With the option of shared parental leave that doesn't sound wildly different to what is generally on offer here. It sounds like it's structured a bit differently so the onus is on a more even split of the time as opposed to what would effectively require the Mum to gift some of their time to the Dad to balance out the time off.
There's a middle ground somewhere between 6 months (Abrdn? Aegon?) and 2 weeks I suppose!
People who ask about a game in a holiday destination.
If you are so keen to watch St mirren v hibs don't go on holiday!
When my daughter was born, I was able to get 6 weeks paid leave, which I could take as I liked over a 12 month period, as long as at least 1 week was taken when she was born. That was definitely at the better end of the scale. Some guys I knew having a child at the same time weren’t taking any parental leave, as they were only entitled to 2 weeks at the same pay rate as statutory sick pay, and they couldn’t afford the drop in wages.
Not so much a pet peeve but an irrational irritation.
Popped in to IKEA last night and was sitting down with my meatballs (as you do) when a mini drama unfolded in the pick-up area below.
A couple of ladies (maybe mother/daughter) were trying to load a stupid amount of flat pack boxes in to their family sized car.
They were trying every permutation, seats forward, seats back, seats down.
For a good 20 minutes I thought I was watching the latest Olympic sport of car loading Tetris.
Eventually, a couple of young lads in high Viz vests came along and started to assist.
Even when I left they were still trying to shoe-horn every last piece of Leksvik furniture the store had in to this mid-size SUV.
16 hours later, I've just realised I need to know if they were successful!
Bluebottles… annoying pesky flies buzzing everywhere just now.
When your wife asks if you can just get food for her too when you go up to the buffet at a party. You look like a greedy gannet piling all the food on to the plate.
On a food theme... ordered breakfast, watching the app tracker, courier leaves the restaurant and goes the wrong way... track them to Macdonalds where they sit for almost 10 mins, they leave then stop a couple of times, tracker then shows them nearing my street (eventually!)... suddenly it changes to delivered, as I'm at the door ready for the delivery I pop my head out and the street's empty.
Aaarrghhh!
People that send work emails with stupid fonts.
There are multiple business fonts available. Don't use Comic Sans, Eurostile or Verdana please.
Comic Sans is obviously ridiculous and Eurostile is too graphic-designy for email, but why Verdana? It's pretty vanilla and to me looks similar to the kind of fonts I'd expect to see in email. The only thing that stands out at all to me is that it's a bit wider spaced.
