An awful, awful, awful place
Posted on Sun, 27 Aug 2023
An awful, awful, awful place to work, from what you've told me. I wouldn't blame anyone for leaving.
I thought of your and Alfred today. A builder who has been doing some work for us was telling me about all the different circumstances in...

What an awful world this is
Posted on Sun, 27 Aug 2023
What an awful world this is where where understanding and compassion are looked upon as an inadequacy. Alfred's decision to get out of that place was a good one.
I've always questioned the term 'customer service' as it often isn't.

The whole world is being
Posted on Sun, 27 Aug 2023
The whole world is being taken over by robots. It's depressing. However there is a tiny trace of an advantage to the self check-out thing in that you don't get the people in the queue behind you hurrying you to get your bag packed and your money...

Memories can be as precious

Posted on Thu, 24 Aug 2023
If my grasp of mathematics is correct, Nellie used her clever talk and her smiling eyes to procure sixteen pots of tea and eight scones every day throughout her seventies and eighties. With the money she saved she bought whiskey.

A clever title Rhiannon.
I'm not sure if it's a good or a bad thing but the worst of these leaders do not pass from our memories.

If you have forty-two
Posted on Wed, 23 Aug 2023
If you have forty-two wristwatches from Ratners Jewellers you will have the right time eighty-four times a day.
One day I will write about the events surrounding the leaving of some of my former workplaces. Sainsbury's was the best story...

Posted on Tue, 22 Aug 2023
I got my A Level results on Friday 13th August 1976. They weren't brilliant grades but they were what I needed for university, though within six months I realised that I didn't need university.

It's a great feeling leaving
Posted on Wed, 23 Aug 2023
