Does this still not happen? when I worked in booker cash and carry in the early nineties we would do this but management cottoned on and any accidental damages were just binned,rendering them useless to the hungry workers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this still not happen? Worked at Liquorsave (part of Kwiksave) over Christmas one year, and the amount of "damaged" stock that arrived was immense. Manager wasn't bothered as it was just claimed back from the supplier, we didn't have to pay a penny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall as a country we are doing well and are following guidelines and looking out for one another. If we’re doing so well as a country following guidelines then pubs etc. wouldn’t have been ordered to close by the government yesterday. Too many people were ignoring the ‘distancing’ part of social distancing advice and so here we are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking my time over a dump with soft Andrex to clean up is probably the best today is going to get. The critically acclaimed (and creatively titled) 2019 feature film on Diego Maradona premieres on Channel 4 tonight from 9pm. Here ends this P and B public awareness broadcast. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not recommended if they're elderly or ill as you could be carrying without showing symptoms. If you think you need to visit, try keep your distance and think about wearing gloves or wiping door handles before you leave. Sounds over the top I know, those pictures from Bergamo have got me a bit paranoid. Basic rule is cut down human contact to the minimum you realistically can.

Don't fucking think so cuntos. Should really know by their company name that they're c***s already mind you Not really a name I would use on a product. Here's an example. Cheap pretendy crap. Britannia metal (also called britannium or Britannia ware[1]) is a specific type of pewter alloy, favoured for its silvery appearance and smooth surface. The composition by weight is typically about 92% tin, 6% antimony, and 2% copper.[2] Britannia metal is usually spun rather than cast,[1] and melts at 255 degrees Celsius.[3] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boy Jason Leitch, who appears to be the scheme version of Chris Whitty, was on the radio saying he was visiting his maw for mother's day. Wash your hands when you go in. No hugs and stay out of range. Try not to touch any surface. Wash your hands when you leave. All about the droplets apparently.
