I believe it can be minefield, with questions about owning/renting/tarrifs/grants etc etc, but if one were looking at getting some solar panels, primarily as a protection against future energy nightmares, and to save money in the long run wheres the best place to look?

Gavin Masterton tried to get some solar panels installed on the roof of East End but we failed the credit check.

I'm working with a couple of people in their mid 20s who both keep ending their emails with:

Best,

[insert name]

 

Best what? Is this a thing now? 😕

It is short for "Best of luck understanding what I have just said here and I hope I don't come across as a rambling idiot who really has no idea about anything".

No, no.  I fully understand your post.

Could have a whole thread on email etiquette to be honest. "Best" does my head in. As does replying all with "Thanks". I've even had someone replying all with "You're most welcome". What a fucking waste of time and bandwidth.

In a previous workplace a guy used to start every email with:

Dear *name*

Hi

I hope you are well and good.

 

I mean what the f**k? And there's someone who ends every email with "KR" for Kind Regards. Drives me fucking mental.

Work colleagues thread for this pish, but someone at my work has started signing off emails "TIA" for "thanks in advance"

I think I know the answer. Where do you stand on "many thanks".

I'm going to boil somebody in oil for that.

Is it possible to remove posts in WhatsApp messenger group chats to make it look like parts of the conversation never happened?

Aye but it leaves a message bubble that says this message was deleted so folk will still know there WAS something there

Aye, I've seen that before - in this case, the comments have disappeared completely. :angry:

You should sign yours off "see you next Tuesday" and see if they work it out.
