No, I didn't understand that at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Cuddy Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) I could not get my interview rearranged. I had to rearrange my trip to Bristol, lost the money I paid for the original flights, had to book extra flights for Friday instead. Had to cancel and rebook car hire (the original booking hasn't yet been refunded either and today they've "secured" £250 from my bank account as a deposit, meaning I'm down by that much until the car is returned, though they say it's not actually debited - maybe, ya c***s but I still can't spend it, can I?). I'm only getting 2 days with my family instead of the 6 I had planned, but I kept telling myself it'll be worth it if I get this job. I haven't had a call back so I can only assume I haven't got it plus I'm fucking skint for the weekend in Bristol. I'd get drunk if I didn't have a hire car booked in the morning.

Bert Raccoon Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 They will also say things like "wheres dad?" "he is in the other room watching the LG" Bit late to the party, but why not introduce them to your mate Stanley. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't give up, you might always get a phone call in the next few days, I've been down that Road before. Good luck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) EBay. Wife buys and sells on this a wee bit. Just before Christmas she sold a dress on ebay. Woman bought it at a decent price and my wife posted it as usual. 1st sign anything was wrong was when the woman contacted her to say it hadn't been delivered yet. Given how busy Royal Mail are in December she thought nothing of this and sent the woman a photo of the proof of postage. A week passes and the woman still hasn't received the dress. By now bells are ringing. The woman opens a dispute case with eBay and eBay contact my wife and tell her to refund her for the dress. Now, either the woman is at it or the post office lost it but either way none of this is my wife's fault. Yet in ebays wisdom my wife is 1 dress down and a few quid too. In what world is that fair?

Lisa Cuddy Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 The amount of 'clickbait' pages on Facebook and Twitter. I've been having a rare old time the past couple of days using the "hide all from" button, getting rid of shite like goviral and viralands and diply and all the other shite like that. It's been great but I'm only seeing about 10 new posts a day on my newsfeed until that "way back" thing started. Also, I got the desktop twitter open today so I could see what apps were posting on my behalf. Fucking loads. Where did they all come from? Fuckers.

Swarley Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I could not get my interview rearrangedWell that's just shit isn't it. Especially since we all thought it wouldn't be a problem. See if they send you a thanks but not thanks email you should just reply with something similar to your post about how much hassle not moving the interview caused. And to cap it all you are stuck in Bristol. Things can't get much worse, close the thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you send it recorded delivery? If not - it's your own fault. If you did - Royal Mail will have to honour the 'insurance' amount you put on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Write off the money and learn seems the best way. I'm raging at either the woman for taking the piss or Royal Mails stinking attitude. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get official proof of postage free at the Post Office when you hand over a parcel. For next time.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeboy Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Yep. If she's paid anything over say £20 - I'd be getting it insured. The recipient has seen you haven't and has taken delivery of the item and is probably wearing it whilst putting in a claim for you not sending it. It's a lesson learnt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
