Shandon Par Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Just back in the house and realised that I've got an empty for the first time in donkey's years. I forget, what do I do? More Amazon live chat? "Have you got a big box?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious if you actually get to talk to a real person, because I swear the guy I just talked to was a robot, albeit a robot called Akshey. Which is suspiciously close to ASCII, thinking about it. Me: I'd like to arrange redelivery of a parcel, and have it left with a neighbour, if possible. AmazonBot: Hello Fat Dave. I am sorry that you want to arrange redelivery of a parcel. I understand that you would like to have it left with a neighbour if possible. <keyboard silence> Me: Could the driver leave it at #69 if I'm not in, please? AB:I see that you would like to have the driver leave it at #69 if you are not in, Fat Dave. <keyboard silence> Me: Uhh...thanks for your help? AB: Please close the chat window and complete the feedback survey copypaste flowchart blurb. Is there some kind of reverse Turing test to determine if the artificial intelligence you're talking to is a human in disguise? Are Amazon preparing to unleash a Dundee warehouse full of Terminators on Scotland? Most importantly, am I ever going to get my fucking parcel? Dundonian Terminators- that sounds a bit scary. "Eh'll be beck.... fur a ingin ane ‘n a'......" only one thing could save the human race... Biggie's Smudger! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I used the amazon chat thing when I ordered a telly that didn't have a stand. The human, and it had to be human, tried to send me something for a telly about double the size of the one I had. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all look like a smashed mirror viewed through a kaleidoscope. I got my parcel in the end, BTW - I know you were all worried. Kudos to ASCII and his team of murderbots.

Hedgecutter Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Staircase etiquette: You walk down the stairs and see a guy coming up along the same side. You're now 1m apart and about to collide, playing chicken as neither of you seem to be standing down in this mental battle of masculinity. What happens next... (I won today's encounter btw, possibly because I'm taller, was moving faster and didn't make eye contact) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five/six years was the standard, I believe. It's unreasonable for anyone to ask you for something further back. If it worries you that much, scan them and keep a couple of digital backups somewhere. No doubt employers will switch to sending out digital copies more as time goes on anyway. Might come in handy when you hit retirement age if the DWP (or their inevitable successor) decide you have gaps in NI contributions. Or, in my case, just to have a cry about how little you've earned over the course of your usefulness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got all of mine back to 1980 - never needed them yet.I think the tax rules are current year plus 6 previous should be kept. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
