Guest Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 It sounds like they fucked up her departure date so her final wage contained X number of days that she wasnt due. Whilst I am aware that it generally doesnt matter whose f**k up it is, I am more keen to patch them based on this. They made a right c**t of it basicallyWe've had all these heroes out clapping for the NHS whilst you're out robbing them you scoundrel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually, I'd 100% be being the "go fuk yirsel" person. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllSaint Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Definitely pay it back if they can prove she’s been overpaid. Generally speaking I’d be in the same camp as Mr.Ali but stealing from the NHS in the middle of a pandemic isn’t really a great look. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 The Scott's Porage Oats shotputter logo was designed by Tom Curr, a commercial artist from Edinburgh. Curr was also known for doing cartoon sketches of football matches for the Evening News. The Edinburgh City Social Club has his original cartoon of when the team beat Hibs 3-2 in the Scottish Cup in the 1930s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only ever had a small film at the back, which is normally an indicator that I need to turn it down a tad. For the fridge and freezer, I tend to just run the contents down for a couple of weeks, then turn it off for a day before the big shop and let it all melt. Stick a bit of tarpaulin in the bottom and let it drain into a container, and empty as necessary. Could do with giving it a go now, actually, but I'm waiting for the warmer weather. God, I even bored myself with that. It had been a very, very bad fridge. Presumably the ice was so thick that he was stabbing away at it and didn't realise he'd pierced through. Which, again, I've never had a fridge that accumulated that much ice. I've had that a couple of times only. Ice had gotten so thick that letting it defrost would have taken a fair while hence the knife attack. Both times it happened because we hadn't used the freezer section for a while so forgot to defrost. The last time we (Royal We) actually broke the hinged door of the freezer section trying to open it! Edit: this was in the days before frost free freezers.

hearthammer Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Bought HP sauce for the first time in ages the other day. Have noticed the colour of the sauce is a lighter brown than i can recall, and the viscosity is definitely mair runny than before. Am i just unlucky with the one i bought, or has the product changed to the above lighter, runnier liquid ??

Porridge on the other hand, rhyming with ridge, is for the peasants. We have two boxes at any one time so that we don't need to visit the scheme goblin shop if we suddenly find out that one has run out. I am however still attempting to open a box properly, but then again, I've not been trained for manual labour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could just be that, because i haven't bought or used HP sauce for months, it is how it is and i just felt it looked and tasted "different" than what i remember.

Glad you've confirmed it's the Hedge that's mental here. For avoidance of doubt, that post was entirely tongue in cheek. I realise that I'll have sown some seeds of doubt though. However, I too have previously wondered about the weird spelling on the Scott's box. Eta: I only have two boxes because one is empty and I can't be arsed taking it through to the recycling box seeing as it's out the way of anything.

After you've emptied the freezer, it can be safely defrosted and cleaned in an hour by using a fan heater or hair drier(use with common sense), no knives, screwdrivers or chisels required. Switch it back on and start using it within a few hours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
